Just now on the phone with the princess Debbie. Since she has never registered to post, she asked me to respond to you guys. Here's what she is whispering in my left ear on the phone (I'm in NC, she is holding down the fort at LL2): "To all the Pond Boss moderators...I want to say a great big 'thank you' for the flowers. I was at home yesterday when an FTD truck pulled up, the driver knocked on the door and handed off a beautiful arrangement. I blushed and headed to the buffet bar, where the Pond Boss carving sat. I put them in a bigger vase, arranged them and have been enjoying them since. As a wife, I feel extremely fortunate to have such an intelligent and passionate group of people on the same team with my husband. Everyone knows how passionate he is about what he does and to have people who share that same enthusiasm is rewarding and exciting at the same time. Thanks to you guys for stepping in and stepping up to share. Our home is open to you guys, always."

There's the message from my bride...now I'll add this much. Yes, we want everyone to come see us, but, please call first!
