Congratulations Steve. I am glad you are keeping up your good spirits without Margaret.

How about a photo of that Grand Champion dahlia?

Wow, congratulations on the win (too bad about the date).

And we want photos...of the dahlia.

Way to go Steve. Not only are you a grand gardener, but a talented storyteller. You should put together a book with your short quips and life lessons. I bet it'd be a best seller.
I was lucky like that last year at the MD State fair.
One of my flower arrangements won blue, Champion and then Reserve Grand Champion. It's a thrill. This year 2 blue ribbons and 4 second. More people should enter the fair.
Healthy competition between gardening friends is a good thing.
I wish I had known you entered another of your flowers. I remember your win a few years ago with the gladiola.
Congratulations, Steve.

Congrat's!!!! I also think you are a great storyteller. Have you ever heard of the journal _Greenprints_? It is garden themed and I think they would love your stories. If you are interested I could even send you a couple copies for your perusal.

Hey, that's a better line than the old pick up line about "showing you my etchings" Congrats on your win at the Md. State Fair.
