Right Now - Columbus - Bomb Scare

Some idiot left a box at the bank - bomb squad on scene.

Enjoying The Fireplace

Last night's pics!  Didn't want to use any flash, so they're a bit dark, but cozy.  Typical kids:  there's two identical Ikea chairs along with one of their cozy fleece beds near the fire, but nooooo, we all want the same chair......LOL.

First Pixie and Kayla have a turn....

This Week's Orchid Buys!

Yesterday dropped by the Flower Mart to see what's new.  Apparently a shitload of cyms!  I restrained myself, and only got a couple dends and a phal.  Sweet.

Went to the Oakland orchid show on Sunday, nothing really tempted *gasp*!!!  Had a fun chat with couple other women, and the Botanico guy, who was just as nice as ever.  Must schedule a visit!

My gripe with the show, as it is every time I visit, is that it has the most unfriendly bunch of Orchid Society members I've bumped into.  Night and day from the San Jose group.  No one smiles, everyone ignores you, and the checkers at the door don't even greet you.  How freaking hard is it to say "Hi" or "Bye"??  That's the least that I do when I'm volunteering.  They're obviously capable of friendliness, since they're real nice to each other.  Doesn't make me want to beat a path to join up.

Anyway, enough of that nonsense.

Trying to replace the boring noise with a soundtrack, but can't find a good one.  Suggestions!
