My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Viola G shares her beauty....

11 years ago

I recently sent a picture to Bud to show him my bloom of the tree named after his beautiful wife, Viola ( Vi ). Needless to say, I was thrilled to hear him say that this was the prettiest bloom of this variety he has seen. He was sooo pleased and it made me feel so good. A mutual friend selected some of my pictures to be placed in a calendar for 2015. One was sent to Bud.... When Bud saw some of my pics and then saw Viola G for the month of December ...it touched his heart. He emailed me right then...
Vi had passed last year in December and Bud was so pleased that this gentleman who put the calendars together had no idea that Vi passed in December. Bud has spoken to him.. As well as I have to the person who designed the calendar and also to Bud after this was made . He picked right up on the pic of my Wildfire on the cover too!! Lol. I didn't have it marked either, but he knew!! Lol. I thought I would share this pic with you all. Bud took it and cropped it and he added my name and labeled it too. He was very pleased and I'm thrilled that I made him feel good.. That's what this is all about. Making someone feel good!!

God Bless you Viola G. And god bless you Bud!! You have been an inspiration to me as well as a mentor, but mostly a good friend.
Thank you Bill and Sherry for introducing us many years ago.. He and you both are treasures... Vi, you are greatly missed...

My Penang Peach, Hawaiian Fire are in it as well..

Xoxo
