It's always great to make new friends along the way.
Sharon, I think I met you over on DG after I joined there in 2006, then cubits.org and now All Things Plants ... oh, and Facebook! My horizons have greatly improved since getting to meet and chat with so many wonderful folks from all over the world! It truly is great to make new friends along life's road!
