ahhh a bit late but here's a hug from the ol' madgardener, Chris. Good to
know yer mind is still sharp! I suffer sometimes from CRAFT myself on
occaison since I've hit the post menopausal moments....GBSEG as for my
gardening, it's as chaotic as ever. Almost frantic as I watch my hair get
these long silver threads among the gold and red ones that reaches the waist
and wonder when they had time to catch up?? I've missed you lady!! Zhan
might not appear as she's working at a little store in Pennsacola, but on
rare occasion I hear from her. Most times I wind up calling her, missing her
by moments and say howdy to her sweet velvet voiced Bill or she's hiding out
in New Mexico at her brother's place soaking up desperately needed desert
time.......my posts are rare but I'm still here and it's nice to see you're
back. Wonder where Ginny Pendergrass and sweet lil' IGROWROCKS went off
too?? Since you've been gone Wendy has moved to the Pacific northwest,
Annbal has remarried a sweetheart of a guy and is contemplating a move to
Maine from her outskirts of Boston, Victoria is CURED!! (woo hoo!!),
QueenAng moved from her home in Yipsilante to Conneticut and loves it, and
we still love ol' curmudgeody Cereoid because he knows his stuff and his wit
is dryer than ever g. You see we still have wise cracking Tomkanpa.... I
can't believe it's been over six years since I met you on this newsgroup.
care for some pics of the ol' madgardener's "madness" and fairy gardens?
I've acquired a neat little camera and am digital and 'in yer face in the
flowers and winged ones' nutzoid............

Thank you Geoff. I had to quit posting because my illness
reached a point where all the time I had was needed to run my
life. Unfortunately, progressive diseases do, and two weeks ago
I was kicked up to 'executive' . . . as in gardner, chef,
housekeeper, etc. So, now I have lots and lots of free time
whilst the -- they actually are a very nice couple, really; I'm
just feeling sorry for myself -- people my husband hired run the
household and help take care of me. Well, at least my mind still
works; and, with the very nifty voice navigation controls on my
computer, I can surf and post. [And pay the bills . . . I still
get to be the family accountant. ] So, I'm back to have some
fun!

For those of us who have read this ng for a longish time (i.e. years),
I am surprised that none of the old timers has yet acknowledged the
fact that Chris Owens has suddenly started posting again after a long
absence. Welcome back Chris! Hope you are well! Now, where's John
Riley and Gandy Dancer! For those who are puzzled, check the news
group archive history at Google news.

Best wishes
Geoff
