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! 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!

Before criticizing someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them you will be a mile away and have their shoes!

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

Re: Is Chris GREAT or what?
Don't be modest, Chris. You ALWAYS go above and beyond for us and we all appreciate it so much. 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!!

Re: Is Chris GREAT or what?
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?
