The flights not the main problem it's the dogs. You'll just have to take copious notes Gerry. Big Grin

Gerry, I would like to go to "Shipshewana" [spelling ?] this spring. I heard about all the goodies down there. A friend of mine and his DW goes there every year just to buy plants and misc. My DW would have a field day down there. She has already expressed her readiness. Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing

I DID get stuck in a spring snowstorm in the Appalachian mountains! Unfortunately, I am working second shift today. I have to draw blood and perform testing on a whole bunch of new employees this afternoon and evening. Can't get out of it. Angry

Bill and Marilyn were charming, entertaining, and informative.

The auction was a huge success. I won two of the offerings: Magician's Magic and Mexican Fiesta.

I also joined the club!

After the meeting, very late at night, we dined at Seasons 52, a classy and healthy food restaurant with a rather varied menu. The restaurant stayed open late just for us.

It was a most pleasant and exiting evening.

Thanks, Mike.

May 7, Tom Polston is the speaker.

I will have to work around my work schedule to see if I can make it to that meeting. I live 150 miles north of Indy, but I want the opportunity to hear what he has to say, and see pictures of seedlings and future introduction.
