I used to go with my friends out to the Indio Rocks and go rock climbing. I remember a beautiful waterfall deep in the rocks. Thanks for the memory!

The desert is a beautiful place, but I want to live close to the ocean. Sherri Chatty, depending on what happens in city pool tournament, we could possibly be there in August. APA Nationals. We'll see. Sherri

Vicki M. Taylor Member Registered: 01/06/03 Posts: 2196 Loc: Tampa, FL	My husband held an aquarium reef club meeting at our house over the past weekend and I got so many wonderful comments on my Christmas Cactus. First that it was blooming and it's APRIL!! But, second because it's so HUGE! They said they've never seen one so big and with so many blooms on it. Of course, I was asked several times for cuttings, so being ever so careful, I cut off a couple of snips for those who wanted one. It's a great sense of accomplishment to pass along a piece of yourself to others. That's how it felt giving them a snippet of the cactus. I hope they treat it well and it grows as well for them as it does for me. Peace.

I have a few plants in my garden that were given to me as gifts when my mom died. Instead of giving a flower arrangement that is gone in a week or two, it's nice to have something that reminds you of the person who died every time you walk out your door. My sister now has an azaleas in her garden in memory of Mom, her mother-in-law, and father-in-law. Just thought it might be something for others to remember.

Vicki M. Taylor Member Registered: 01/06/03 Posts: 2196 Loc: Tampa, FL	Excellent reminder, Dotsie!!! I'd much rather have plants to be a gentle reminder .... it's much more pleasant and gives back to Earth as well. Peace.

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Vicki, I just picked up a copy of a free magazine called Maturity Today Magazine and the cover is of cactus now blooming in our desert. The article inside is called Where the Flowers Are: Biking to Desert Blooms. I think you would enjoy it. If you like I can mail a copy to you. My private email address is in my signature below. If you'd like a copy, send me your mailng address and I'll send you one.

Vicki M. Taylor Member Registered: 01/06/03 Posts: 2196 Loc: Tampa, FL	Thanks, Charleen... I lived in AZ for 12 years before I moved to FL. It'll be nice to see the desert again, even if it's only in pictures.
