Hi Sue, I forget about them, mostly. That's okay for the Christmas cactus, and the aloe, but the spider plant starts yelling :o) Everything looks rough around here, right now, but I guess you aren't use to that in Florida. Hugs! Lynn PS Mike's brother and sister got their cell phones :O) They went with the TracPhone, and really like them. It was cute watching them show their parents their new toys, yesterday. And, this morning, I spent time getting Kath online. Now to wait for the modem to show up, and really get her started.
