    At least I am. After three and a half weeks I'm so glad to be home and so pleased with our trip.:D

    The garden is a mess, but I'll deal with it eventually. My head's a mess too, but that's because of all we've experienced. I'll post more later, in a couple of days or so, once I've got things sorted.

    Here's one of the reasons why my head is spinning. The big, dark leaves belong to Hosta "Empress Wu":

    And in here are four new "Mouse"-hostas and a few other tiny jewels. "Cat's Eyes" is one, and "Masquerade" is there too:

    And we've got "Praying Hands" which will be big eventually. We hope. Now all we need to do is plant them.

    It's sooo good to be home, and back on the Stew!

    Welcome back Droopy. Very glad you had a fun and safe trip. I would say I can't wait to see the photos but since I have to I guess I really can't say I can't wait to see the pictures.

    Haha, Toni, you're the best! I'm resizing and trying to upload some photos now, but the computer isn't really nice to me. :D

    Thanks Eileen. :D I've missed you too. I'm shortly going to pester you with photos of everything weird and wonderful that we've seen, and you'd probably ask me to go away for a while then.

    Welcome back on to the Stew, Miss Droopy! I think that lots of folks have missed your posts on here.

    I'm sitting here now, waiting to be pestered to bits with fotos of everything weird and wonderful. Don't keep us in suspence too long. :) I hope your fotos turned out ok and that you didn't leave the lens cover on your camera when you were taking piccies. hahaha :D

    Sounds like a successful trip Droopy!

    Hi, Droopy! Welcome back. We sure have missed you and your pictures here. I have dial-up here so sometimes it takes a bit to load but they are worth it. So, post away. I'm waiting.....well? Maybe, I'll go read posts and come back. dooley

    Well, Sjoerd, it's not that long since we spent time together, now, is it? :D But it does feel long ago, I admit that.

    Dooley, I've got 622 photos to sort through, resize, upload and post, so this will take time. I need to do other things too, in between.

    About 70 actually. I think the 60th we planted was "Blue Mouse Ears". I need to go and count again one of these days.

    Well, I guess I can wait a little longer then. But, I will sure look forward to them. My nephew lived in Denmark one year. He was an exchange student. dooley
