Re: ~Remicade and lilacs!!

[Guest guest]

Add me to the list of Lilac Lovers!! I've loved them ever since I was a

child and would walk past a neighbor's row of fragrant lilac trees every

May. She even gave me permission to pick a few each year, which was a real

treat! A few years ago my family gave me a lilac bush for Mother's Day and

right now it is blooming foraciously (just in time for Mother's Day!!)

I'm not on Remicade, though!!
