Yes

Yes, you've heard from Patty and Greg?
Are both coming? I sure hope so. It would not be the same without them.
Actually it wouldn't be the same without all those coming. New & old.
We love having new comers. As the family grows.

I sent you mail

I'm in for everything same as Julia and sack lunch so we have more time at Garlands.

I agree. Sack lunch it will be.

I think I will go to Garlands the Wednesday before just to scope things out...

Connie would you let them know that we will be coming? Maybe you can give them a link to this thread?

I have done that but they won't remember. The gal I talked to said she could have extra plants (semps) put out. I'll remind them again on that Wednesday. I hope they don't have something else going on Friday (meaning lots of people).

Just wanted to remind people that the Red Lion has a block of rooms under the group rate. Mention "SEMPERVIVUM" for the special rate.

So looking forward to have everyone visit. You are like my very extended family!

Kevin

I just tried to make reservation and they don't have a block yet. She told me to call during the week and talk with Wendy or June. I will try again on Monday.

Julia,

It should be all set up. I'l call Monday and find out what's going on! ARRGH!

Kevin

OK, just checked. They have it under "Hybridizing Group" this time as the manager was afraid their booking people wouldn't understand "Sempervivum"!! I can see this. Hybridizing group sounds more normal! She did ask "What is a Sempervivum anyway?". I just said "cute little succulents". and then added "like cactus" when I sensed a dead spot on "succulents".

That should work for you guys.

Kevin

"Cactus" probably stuck in her mind...Next year we will be the 'cactus group', I bet you...

Ok I will try later. So right I had to spell sempervivum 3 times. Wait isn't that a line in a health care advertisement? No worries

I saw the people from Garlands today at the Insights Into Gardening in Corvallis. They had a table there. She put it on her phone calendar.

I saw a 'table' in Corvalis today, too...It was "Heavenly" ...Boy, are you guys in for a treat in April!

I can't wait.

Yes, Connie's TG is really maturing in it's own special way. It's inspirational (Sorry no pics but it builds up suspense )
