Is Chris GREAT or what?

Post by FreakyCola »

I wrote in a while ago about the secret trades & haven't had a chance to get back on the computer to check for an answer. Well, Chris actually called me on the phone to make sure I wasn't going to miss it this year. Unfortunatley I wasn't home so I didn't get to talk to him. It just blows my mind that Chris would go out of his way like that.

Thank you so much Chris. I actually made the deadline & will get to do a secret trade for the first time in a zillion years! :D :D :D Sorry I missed you, I really would have loved to have talked to you Chris.

So to thank Chris I ordered Katie Q & Rainbow's End. There were so many more I wanted but they were all out of stock. Chris, you sure you don't have a Flower Power hidden any where? I saw one in a private garden years ago & have never seen one for sale till now, but you were out. Bummer!

Hi Ellen,

Glad you were able to get in on the secret trade.

Actually Joan (newtohosta-no more) was the one that contacted me and asked me to see if I could reach you, so she deserves the credit on this one ;)

Don't be modest, Chris. You ALWAYS go above and beyond for us and we all appreciate it so much. :wink: And it was Pandora who mentioned Ellen to me. She knew that she had missed out on previous trades and hated the thought of her missing out again. It was a combined effort to make sure Ellen got in on the trade this time and I'm happy to see she has. Hope you all have fun!! :D

Well, aren't Joan & Pandora great too! Thanks to all my hosta buddies for helping me get in on the trade this time.

I can't wait for daylight to go out & decide what to send. Oh, and maybe I'll have to go hosta shopping in case I "need" to send something my secret tradee doesn't have (& I don't either!!!) There's always an excuse to buy more hostas! Just like jello, huh?
