Rush: And I have been under the waether.
Mike in DC: Sorry to hear that! Hopefully you’re on the “good” side of it…

HonoluLou: Rush, yes it will.
Rush: 🙂
Rush: As I mentioned…the new Chat Room should have sound effects…and who knows what else!
Mike in DC: There are still a couple of parts we haven’t done here. Lou, I’ll make sure you have the WHOLE thing.
HonoluLou: Hounder, so sorry to hear it. I tried tending my mother in her last days and it became too much for both of us. So she had to go to hospice. It’s tough.
Rush: Along with everyone else, I am sorry…
hounder: woo hoo.
Mike in DC: Hope all goes well with mom, hounder. She’s so fortunate to have you with her.
Rush: Yes, regarding the new Chat Room!
HonoluLou: Great, wait till I send it tomorrow Mike, then you can tweak it, etc. Maybe we can keep it as a recurring entry to the Annual Newsletter.
HonoluLou: That’s of course, lies in approval from our fearless leader!
Mike in DC: Of course. *bows*
hounder: right now, hospice is coming here. I have a nice area set up for her on the porch but the cold drove us inside this weekend. i need some more insulation out there.
Rush: I would HOPE that it could become a TRADITION!!!

Mike in DC: Holiday times are often light chat lineups…
Rush: Yes.
HonoluLou: I understand, Hounder. Over the winter I put my ivy’s in the garage and water them every two weeks. They actually last through the winter although it gets down to below zero in Cleveland. So far kept them going 5 years now.

Rush: 10 minutes…
hounder: lol. i can grow trees, just not plants. I think Melborne is a couple hours south.
Rush: If you need a copy of our movie, pleare use the link above the Chat room.
Mike in DC: I’m a hands-off gardener. It goes in the ground, then it’s between the plant and God. It generally works out ok…
Rush: Wise words, Mike!
Dona: I’ve only been to Florida once and it was for a funeral, and it rained the entire time I was there.
hounder: good plan mike.
Mike in DC: Today’s sermon: God is better at growing plants than I am.
