Trudy - I too would love to get to go to Chris & Brian's 'Hallson Gardens'. I emailed Chris once & told him not to be surprised if Connie & I drove onto his yard one day!
I almost have hosta-overload with the Hallson party Saturday, then ROHS summer garden tours, lunch, & fabulous plant auction on Sunday. There were hundreds of plants, some not offered any where else on earth. Oh, my goodness - How Fun!!! I dreamed of hostas all night long last night.
Sue D - I remember my Sunday School lessons so well. It is more blessed to give than it is to receive

I love sharing my plants with good people who will love them & take good care of them. You are a dear hosta friend.
Hosta Jo - I love your dippy thing so much, could you send me your recipe or better yet post it with Trudy's recipe on the Recipe Forum. I have never looked at it before but think I should.
Ron swears I haven't cooked for weeks while we were getting ready for our tour. I took him out for Chinese Friday night!
AND - Jo, I so wanted to make sure to show you my wonderful hosta 'Risky Business' that you sent me the beginning of in a Secret Trade. It is a beauty & a favorite in my garden. I hope you saw it! If you're like me, you don't remember what you have given as much as what you have gotten from others.
Jackie / hostaaddict / friend - you are a wonderful friend. I am so glad that the other-Jackie could come & bring you to be with us!
Roxanne!!! Thank you for wanting to have us all next year! I'm excited! Let me know the date as soon as you can so I can try to make sure I can get the weekend off work.
Linda P - see you in just a few days!!! - Can't wait
Thank you all again for a wonderful time with wonderful hosta friends.
Jimmy & Lois - You 2 are the best!
And my other neighbors, David & Betsy, thank you for opening your gardens for us. I love your yard.
Connie, Your garden is so 'Connie', I love it & I love you, girl friend!!
Jeff, I bet one of your little streaked plants that are now mine, will grow up to give DB a run for the money.
And Eve was such a good sport in the middle of all of us, as Josh would say, "Hosta Nuts"
Great Day!!! - Hopefully more friends will be able to make it to Roxanne's place next year
