Just to let some out there who lurk and don't come from behind the
bushes very often.......I have found an old friend and former member
of our gardening neighborhood...........Zhanataya!!!! She is retired
and living life happily with her retired hubby, Bill in the
Southwest.......talked to her two weekends in a row (when me POS pay
as you GO phone is free) and she sounds relaxed, happy and loves being
back where she wanted to be when her sweet Bill retired. The garden
moll (for those of you who remember who she is) will be sixteen soon,
and Jake will be nine. Wow......time flies...........It's been five
years since I saw her last, and four since I spoke to her.

life is good

Indeed, Maddie. Please say hi to Zhan for me! I wondered where she had
got to after she had been a regular contributor (like me) to
rec.gardens in "ye olden days".
