Thanks Doris (RuddMD)!

I received a nice surprise from Doris this week....for helping her as a "decoy" in the last swap.

She sent a few more dishes to add to my hobnail collection and some great North Carolina treats - Carolina Cupboard Roasted Peanuts and Pecan Pralines! I'd post a pic, but it would be of the empty wrappers :)

Doris, I feel like I didn't do much to deserve this....but thank you so much, it is very much appreciated!

You're welcome Cindy! I appreciated the help. I also owe HanArt a big "thank you" too.

Just when she least expects it. . . . . :D

I am zone 9 - very hot dry summers. JC never got over 3 feet for me - had her about 6 years. I just moved and have been rose shopping. I went to nursery last year in our record breaking hot spell - over 105 - the only roses blooming in their black containers were Doris Day. All of them were blooming - so thats the yellow rose for me.

Black Doris plums?
Q

We’re visiting New Zealand, and now I’m on a mission. We’ve been eating fresh and canned “Black Doris” plums, and the canned ones especially, are the best I’ve ever eaten. Quite different to the US varieties I’m used to. My Google Fu has failed me in finding any reference to this tree outside NZ, Amazon doesn’t even sell the canned fruit. Do any of you know if this tree can be had in North America? Does it possibly go by a different name elsewhere? thanks!

Oh, no you don't!!! You sent more money than I needed to play the little decoy game. Don't you dare send me something else!

Well she did. And it was a surprise. Perfect way to end the hurricane season.

We were getting ready to go to dinner last night with a visiting SIL and great-niece when the UPS man knocked ... so everyone got to enjoy the surprise.

Doris sent a bottle of RayLen wine from a local vineyard. I thought the graphic on the label resembled a hurricane eye, but didn't 'get' the Category 5 until I read the back label.

I told her Mike & I have opted out of an extended family invite for Christmas and we're planning our own little celebration, so this will be our dinner wine.

Like Cindy said, my little role in the decoy game didn't deserve this either, but it's definitely a special treat and I thank you!

Cindy, I just found this. That's perfect, a "category 5" wine. (snicker)
