Hi Again I sent this a couple of days ago. Not seeing it on the list makes me think it has gone astray. My NZOL server still having problems. Apologies if I am repeating my self. From: "Tony Flynn" <tony@nzol.net.nz> To: <chile-heads@globalgarden.com> Subject: Open Fields Date: Tuesday, 2 October 2001 8:16 a.m. Hi All, Well this coming weekend was to be the highlight of my year, meeting a bunch of people who have existed mainly through their letters on my computer screen over the past 3 years or so. Things worked out differently and I had to return to NZ on the 1st September. Showing once again that we do not know what is in store for tomorrow. I have been looking for an American flag to fly on my verandah., but there are non available in my small town. I am always impressed by the patriotism of the American people in flying the flag outside their homes.In the past not just the past 2 weeks. I am sure they will prevail through the difficult days ahead. My health is reasonable now except being prescribed so many tablets I rattle if I jump up and down :-) spring weather here now so I am a bit late to start raising Chile plants from seed. The Rocotos against the back fence still have good fruit and a few others have survived plus heaps in the freezer and lots of sauce from St Jim. so I will not be short of hot stuff. At least I got to spend a morning with Jim and the delightful Abbey. No prizes for guessing who paid for lunch before I could get my credit card out:-) So I hope that you all have a great weekend and weather is as good as it is here this week. Also just after the full moon so keep the more wayward of our group under control. My love to you all Tony Flynn Grandad. Retired at the beach. Bay of Plenty.
