thanks W4W! I spent a lot of extra time yesterday during work... I had to stop wherever a flower had bloomed... and yeah, such a bummer, but they have so much stuff going on. they may make it in July, but Mylee starts school in August... the plan is now for me to get a week off and go visit them! I think I should have no trouble going after the first week of June. I have commitments toward the end of May and early June, so....
