Hello folks, I am Gordon, age 74, widowed 13 years, living on the

Three grown children, son in Australia, daughter in California, elder

Three grandchildren spread around the world. ;-)

mostly it has been planned as low-maintenance as I have grown older, with
shrubs and perennials as I have become ancient.

74 isn't ancient!

I have forgotten most of what I once knew!

No, it's all still in there. Your memory is perfect, like mine.

The retrieval system might be corrupted though :-(

How true, how true Mary in Leeds, I try to recall something from my
memory and it recedes, then later, when I am not trying to pursue it, up
it pops!

Plant names do that to both of us. Something we knew perfectly well ten
minutes ago goes wandering off into the ether when wanted! An hour or three
or four later one or the other of us goes "Got It!!"
