Hi, Amy! Yeah, orchids are my obsession, uh, hobby. I've been growing them for many years now, just for pleasure, not for sale. I do have a web site where I post pictures of the ones that have bloomed, guess it's OK to put the address on the forum? It's www.sdahldtp.com, the "com" is only because I set up the site when that was about all that was available, before any of the "net" or other classifications came about.

I pray that the treatments don't wipe me out to the point where I can't care for the orchids for several months, but with only "a few" chemo treatments (they say), perhaps I'll not be knocked down quite so hard?

DH and I are retired, heading into our 60's. Just downsized and moved from the southern Califoria area to the mountain area very near Yosemite in California. Makes getting to the nearest large town for advanced medical care a bit more difficult, but it's still doable.

Thanks for making me feel welcome on this forum!!

Sharon
