Don - haha, as I recall, 😉 someone brought a leash for Dave expecting...who knew what! But turned out he was much tamer in person 🙂 The sweetest, nicest guy you could imagine. In our limited time in CA, each wanted to go somewhere, see some particular site or attraction . One group wanted to go to Disneyland, or was that the Catalina Island trip? (I wanted to just get my toes wet in the Pacific Ocean), and the one thing Dave wanted to do was see Huntington Gardens. When some of us learned all there was to see there, including a display of EAPG, it didn't take much to get a bunch of us interested. And Dave, it turned out, was our personal tour guide extraordinaire. Through each garden he led us through, he named each plant - like the common name, the multi- syllable latin name, sometimes alternate names, any medicinal qualities, where it commonly grew, etc. It was all fascinating. The Japanese garden was my favorite.
Gail, yes! That's the plus side of this long, drawn out moving experience, lol. I've moseyed along at my own sedentary pace packing a few things now and then, hauling a few things at a time. Practically all that is left is a bed, dresser, 2 chairs, kitchen table and desk, plus basic kitchen stuff and clothing.
