I did join the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society this morning-actually it’s a ‘dual’ one and for a year’s membership, we got two free flower show tickets ($26 each!). We were all dressed and ready to go at 10:30 (the daylight savings messed us up) and Brian couldn’t get a hold of his dad. He tried for an hour and the answering machine kept coming on. So Brian didn’t get to go to the show and Sean and I decided to at least go to my mom’s and wait to see what was going on. Here he was sound asleep in his bed, the phone was in the other room, the tv was blasting downstairs and the stove was left on. Brian had to physically shake him to wake him up! He said he’s always been a sound sleeper, but I’d say the phone must have rang 100s of times and he didn’t hear it! The next room isn’t that far away. We thought he had fallen down.
We took my mom again (she had gone with my brother Don on Thursday) and Sean got the student price. My membership and tickets were waiting for me at the booth in the convention center. I thought for sure I’d have to wait to use them next year as it said I had to give them 24 hours to process. Before we went into the show, we ate lunch in the Reading Terminal Market-such a bustling places with lots of sights and sounds. I will share a few photos, but need to upload over 100 on Flickr during the upcoming week.

This is a neat one:
The show had an Italian theme and there was lots of gorgeous statuary:
I can’t forget Sean!
And this is one of the miniature shadow boxes-all the tiny plants have to be real!:
My brother Don was at my mom’s and he treated us to a nice dinner up in our hometown. It turned out to be an adventurous day for sure!
I made a video too and will edit that sometime this week too-all the water features are on it plus a silly son!
