Wow Remy,
You are as good looking as you are smart! Looks like you all had a great time. Nice to see a pic of Maria too. Always fun to be able to visualize the people we are getting to know here.

Hi Remy. Thanks for sharing the photos from the Berea Seed Swap...a very interesting event with some seedy characters!

Marsha,
You are much too kind. It is nice to put a face with forum friends.

DustDevil,
Seedy characters indeed

. It is funny there too since people walk up and ask how much for the seeds, and I tell them one or two packs for free. Any more than that, I'll take trades or cash. Then some people pull out little baggies out of their hoodie with their special seeds which under other circumstances would look like something else was going on

.

Oh I so wanted to be there, as my DH is from Danville area.

Funny thing is, we might be leaving FL and returning to KY, so should that happen I'm for sure going to attend one of these events.

Thanks so much for all the pictures of the event, your table display is as beautiful as you!
