<p>Orchard Nursery! Childhood haunt clutching my mom’s hand with the ultimate green thumb until she had to clutch mine on our yearly visit to the expanding and rather fancy nursery place to buy little plants for her aging pots.</p>
<p>Thankfully because of EBMUD watershed property there is still plenty of wild left.</p>

<p>Avoidingwork, the comments I made were in the vein of “isn’t this an interesting tidbit of information?” It was certainly not intended as a derogatory comment about single parents, and was a reminder of an earlier thread about the number of long marriages on CC. I don’t see how anything I posted was ‘off the track’, since I wasn’t on any particular track to begin with. Just because someone comments on the favorable characteristics of one trait or attribute does not mean they imply a negative comment on an alternative.</p>
<p>Lol, Alum! There’s no “unquote” in un-quoting. Just a slash, which took me a half a year to figure out because I kept hitting the “other” slash, in the wrong direction. But, even 40-something sluggs catch on, eventually! :)</p>
<p>Respectfully, may I ask that the single-parent/NYT article discussion migrate to another thread? I can see it morphing into a larger issue, and it deserves more room than what this little thread about our fun, Halloween get-together is equipped to handle. 
Going to get my flu shot, now. :eek:</p>
