[Guest guest]

I have a whole yard full of flowers and yes they do make me happy. I never

had good luck with the african violets, but I do have some violets outdoors.

Cannot remember the name of them. they are purple. Love big lots too. :-)

Glad that you can brighten up the inside a bit. It sounds very cheery. Hope

you are doing well today.

Hugs,
