Dinner with Friends before Driving to 7th North American Mushroom Conference in New Orleans
On March 4, 1988 we had dinner at our home for our closest friends, informing them that Campbell Soup forced us to move to Pennsylvania.
Such a SAD tiding!
We loved Dublin, Georgia and our friends and home and garden...

Spring 2019 is Slowly Arriving
Here are four Pink Perfection beauties together inside a creamware cachepot on February 21.
On our kitchen bay window sill and as you can see, outside the grass is still brown!
An oval Wedgwood Cream Color on Cream Color bowl filled with White Camellias.
On a rainy day, February 19, I filled this silver plated vase with some fragrant Ehrlicheer Narcissus.
My hands reflect inside the glossy silver.
This vase is half a century old, a sweet gift from my sister Diny on my birthday!
Memories carried across the ocean...
Had to place this vase on the living room window sill for some light as it was a gloom day!
Longing for being able to use our balcony again but that takes some time.
This is our second Japanese Magnolia tree on Mom's 5th Birthday in heaven, February 12.
Closer view.
This is actually half of a tree as a big tree fell into it years ago and damaged half of it.
But it has grown back remarkably well over the years and we treasure its blossoms as they can be seen from the bay window in the kitchen and from the veranda.
