Hey Ross!
 

Just wanted to say how nice it was to finally met you and your lovely bride, Dottie :)

An afternoon spent with good friends talking about orchids...how much better can it get? ;)

You're always welcome to come back, anytime you're in Florida :)

Thank you SO much for the gifts too! The gorgeous Sederia you gave me is now hanging in the big tank along with the moss pots and the beautiful Goodyera is in it's new home too. I can't wait to have a little spare time to sit and go through the Cacti book page by page :)

:dance:

We also enjoyed meeting you and the others (Catlady and Laura). Great friends you have there. Can't wait to get my Masdies home into cooler weather :(

I try to get down this way at least once a year (usually in spring) to visit with Dad and my sister. I'll look you up next spring!

Yes, they are great friends and I'm very thankful for them. I only wish Dana could have made the trip.

We'll hope to see you and Dottie again next year, by then Dana should be able to make puppy-sitter arrangements :)

I am terribly sorry we missed your trip, Ross! I'm glad you had a nice time though!

Very difficult to leave an 8 week old puppy with someone after only being in the house for a week, I just didn't think it wise...
