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.

Another old friend!

9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago

Last night I went to my 2nd AV meeting and I loved it as much as the first one! Geeze the people are so nice and very helpful.

But I now will tell you about an old friend who came home with me. Happy Harold!!!!! Oh my! 2 beautiful leaves of him! What a walk down Memory Lane!!!!! Already got them started and have fingers crossed!!! And last month at my very first meeting another walk down Memory Lane when I was gifted with Chanticleer!!!!! Who is doing very well.

And how small is the world getting??? I will tell you. Remember I said I worked for a greenhouse that specialized in violets??? That, my friends, was waaaayyy back in the 1970's!!! Well, I made reference to something I learned back then at a greenhouse I worked at and the two ladies on my right used to go there also! They knew about it!!!! They knew my boss and the whole 9 yards!!! Oh my and the world gets smaller all the time! Well, as long as there is still room for my violets,,,,I am good with it! Rosie

PS. I had a great time!,,,Can't wait for the next meeting!

    What a nice post, Rosie! Happy Harold is a cutie. I still have bunches of babies. I love my local AV club even though it's a 1.5 hour drive each way for me (and sometimes a lot more if Atlanta traffic is being a douche). I've also made a lot of friends on Facebook and get people to come by now and then to visit my growing space. It's fun.
