Hello, all!
It's sure been a busy eight months. Not only because of the new baby -
we moved from Sacramento to Petaluma in February. So not too much time
for our favorite hobby ever. This past couple weekends we did manage to
pick up a couple of nice drive-bys, though. Say Cheese! at the Marin
French Cheese Factory, and Lachryma Montis (plus our first hitchhiker in
ages, the Golden Goose) in beautiful Sonoma. We found the Lachryma
Montis bag unzipped, and things a bit damp inside the box, but luckily
we had lots of paper towel and an extra Ziploc with us and were able to
put things mostly to right.

We're so happy to see all the current and pending Petaluma boxes, and
will be picking those up over the spring and summer. Hopefully we'll be
back to snagging the more ambitious stuff, too, when we finally get a
decent backpack carrier for the bub (any suggestions would be
appreciated). And at least *one* plant would be nice, too - thinking
Sonoma could use it.
Very regretfully, we won't be attending GRR. The baby still loathes the
car, and a 1.5 hour drive just isn't the best idea. I've an Old Sac
stamp that I carved ages ago and never got around to planting... Would
someone care to find a home for it before the gathering? I'll scan it
and send you the image if you'd like - it's not too shabby, if I do say
so myself :-) I can have it mailed out to any taker this weekend.
Happy Boxing,
Jennie (and Darin and Daniel)
