I am going to get a jump on this and do this now. I wish all of my good friends, loved ones and casual acquaintences here in the Orchid Forums, a WONDERFULLY BOUNTIFUL AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! Whether you celebrate the day or not. Hilarious!

I am facing a 750 mile trip to South Carolina where the cell phone service is horrible!! That is a half step above miserably pitiful! Rolling on the floor laughing Thumbs up

Don't each too much Turkey!

I'll leave tomorrow about 9am and hope to be home Monday early afternoon.

Happy turkey day Bill and everybody.

When DH traveled all corners of SC we had to have Verizon because that was the only carrier that had a signal in the rural areas. Hope you can run over to Carter and Holmes Bill but frankly they are just not what they used to be. Perhaps you can talk the talk to the owner and he will give you a tour of their back GH's and their breeding stock.

Sorry you had to go through that over Thanksgiving. Good to know you you are home among your beautiful orchids. Stay well Glenn. You are right about getting old but it beats the alternative.

Oh no! Group hug I am glad you are home again, surely that was rough!
As Klaus remarked the other day - we are not 75 any longer.

Glenn, hang in there, take care. We are sending you healing thoughts.
