Home Alone

Brenda has been gone almost a week, now. I took her to Little Rock to catch her flight to Seattle.
Bev, her sister went with us so that I would not be alone on the way back. It was very thoughtful of her, but that is just the way she is. She is one of the most giving people I have ever met.
Brenda actually beat us back to Memphis, as her flight came through here to Seattle. She couldn't just catch the flight here, she had to board in LR.. It would have cost $200 more to catch the flight here. how stupid (What ever happened to customer service?). I miss her and talk to her everyday.
Mike and I are preparing for the Botanic Garden Show this weekend. Mike's son, Alan, and I pulled all of the plants for the show, on Monday. We pulled around 120 flats (18 plants to a flat) along with several others in 1, 2 & 3 gallon sizes.
After the MG Spring Fling, Mike decided to buy a 16 ft utility trailer to carry everything we need for the show. It will carry racks, plant, office supplies and we will be able to store all of the hardware needed in one place.
The trailer arrived on Friday and we spent Saturday configuring the layout of the hardware (racks). We installed tie down points on the walls and floor. The trailer is going to make transportation, setup and tear down so much easier. Every show we go to, we learn something to make the process easier. Don't get me wrong, it is still a lot of work and very time consuming. But, we are so much better prepared for this show as opposed to any show I have helped Mike with so far.
Cleo and I are "batching" it. She is letting me comb her now. I am not as talented as Brenda, but she actually let me comb her for about 5 minutes. I really think she misses 'her momma' as much as I do.
Yes, I will keep the home fires burning until Brenda returns.

Ta ta for now
