Good grief you lot have been busy haven't you?!!! 1328 posts and 34 blog entries since I left!!! 
I've only managed to answer a few of each but I will get around to at least reading them all in time.
We had a wonderful time in Holland and it was lovely to meet up with Clint and Ina again and see their lotties. We spent most of the week with them and visited a few  garden centres and show gardens together. The weather stayed fair, apart from one day of rain, and I have masses of piccies but it'll take me a while to get them all sorted out so please bear with me.
I really missed you all while I was away so it's good to be home again. 
Here are the photographs of the plants I bought while we were away. Clint and Ina bought a few too but nowhere as many as I did.  I guess you can definately say that I'm a plantaholic can't you?!!! 
The two plants on the bottom right of the last piccie are Ian's fruit bushes. A tayberry and a blueberry. Weeelll at least I wasn't selfish and let him buy two all for himself!! 
Oh and I bought a peach water lily but it's already in the pond.

Welcome Back Eileen!! You've been missed!
Frank is right, we didn't burn the place down,
but the partying was so loud that the neighbors called the police on us twice,
and someone left the water running in the upstairs bath until it flooded the stairwell.

Yes, from the look of things, we made roughly one post for each plant you brought home.

Welcome home Eileen! Yup, we sure have been a chatty bunch! What a great bunch of plants! I guess you will have to make a few new gardens? Can't wait to see your pictures. It's great to get away, but it's always better to get home again.

Welcome back Eileen, I think you showed great restraint in your plant buying. Would really like to know the names of them all.

Yay for Eileen. Glad you had a great time. Clint told me what a grand old time you were having. Lovely load of plants there. Are they really much cheaper than you can buy over here?? Looking forward to seeing some piccies girlie!
