“Little girl, why are you doing this? You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!” After a few moments thought, she bent down, picked up another starfish & hurled it as far as she could into the ocean. Then she looked up at the man and replied, “Well, I made a difference to that one!” Be the change you wish to see in the world. http://www.stillsthatspeak.com...

I agree

Donna,
Maybe you'd like to join Sallyg's caravan and get to know some of us (Sally, Robinbunch, Gita and me) on the way to Catmint's? It is conveniently on the way from your place to Catmint's. Any way, glad you are able to come.

Hi Donna, yes, you are certainly welcome, I have a minivan that hold seven passengers- although fewer people when some of the passengers are plants. ROFL.. I live in MIllersville off Rt 97. I'm not sure which way to go to Robin's from here, we'll see when it's closer.

Catmint- does the ICC point to your area in any way? Seems like it would, more so than me going down to DC beltway and up again...
Plant it and they will come.

Sally, Catmint told me that since I "do NOT do the Beltway" I could get to her place by taking 32 all the way.

Hey Jan in New Jersey (Gramma in demand) if you are coming you can join our caravan, too! I know you favor the Eastern Shore route. Any chance your niece might join us? Hello to hubby Jeff!

Sally--yes the ICC has an exit not far from where we live--the Georgia Ave exit! Maybe someday I'll actually have time to get an EZPass...
Both route 29 and route 32 also come this way.

Robin, I think you can get EZPass at your local Giant. It takes us 30 minutes to get from Gaithersburg to BWI using the ICC! Compare that to an hour with the beltway.

Thanks for the invite to caravan. Hehehe. I haven't mentioned it to Tara yet, cuz I am waiting to hear from DS which weekend I will be needed.
I'll have to look at a map to see where Odenton is located.

Jan, we're going to Catmints in Rockville, not Catbirds in Odenton.
Of course, you are free to see where Odenton is if you like Whistling
Plant it and they will come.

I'm planning on it, although my September schedule is a little up in the air at the moment.
We're all learners, doers, teachers.
