My daughter and I ended up at the bead store almost by accident and when we went in I said, "Oh my God, I've been here before..." (*plays Twilight Zone music*) ...It's good to see you around here still :love:

Sorry about the problems... :hug: Hope they clear up... It will be great to see you at VeggieFest! We are expecting 10,000 people this year. Where we're going to put them all is beyond me! Maybe the Center will have to rent a park next year...

Anyway, I am gardening and enjoying the wait until the big day (2 days, actually). I have a car so if you want to get together I wouldn't mind driving. I remember you lived somewhere relatively close...

:hi: Hi Rochelle!! I'm Nicole!! It's always great to see another local face on the boards!! I live in Plainfield. Thank you so much for the link to VeggieFest. I would not have known had I not seen it!! Hope to see you around!! Peace & Love!!
