Done, times four so far this spring. And they were trees that I started from seeds and cuttings.

God, I love spring!

Since I happened to plant an apple tree for my mom this past weekend, we'll count a cherry tree.

Great idea! Trees are beautiful in so many ways, and there are so many to choose from that you're bound to find something to suit you. We have planted one tree each year since we bought our home three years ago. This year the choice was a cherry tree that we got into the ground this past weekend.

I have attempted to see this years exhibition twice with no success. The day after the openeing the room was closed for RMC examinations. The second time a meeting was going on. I think this venue presents a disservice to artists and their work. I hope that KAC would seriously think about moving this annual event elsewhere.

Thanks Maggie …. the positioning behind the piano is unfortunate… saw some poor woman almost fall off the riser trying to get a better look at the pics … I have actually gone into the Wilson room a couple of times to push the piano back from the photos. Not a mean feat for one person. I love your painting by the way … but hanging a painting of our Fearless Leader in my home would, I'm afraid, be more then I could or should bare..

Ouch! I'd like to say that the notoriety has created a bidding war, but the price was always the higher amount. Whoever labelled it got it mixed up with the other smaller painting "My River Tis" in the other room. Nice photos, by the way… too bad they're stuck behind the piano. BTW, Harvey, you could have made the spot over the "Jewels" about a quarter of that size… talk about inflation! :-)

I have been to the Social a number of times, and I like their Cuban chicken sandwich and their burgers. I was not impressed with the fish tacos; when you order fish tacos at a Mexican restaurant that carries them, it's unbreaded chunks of fish, with fresh salsa and pico de gallo and cilantro, etc. Not breaded fish patties…

I love their homemade chips.

I've had no qualms with the service, but I must admit, I've only eaten seated at the bar, and once, at a group function, in the area behind the bar, at the back.

Good news !!!! the infamous painting is still hanging in full view…. bad news – price of the work has increased from $2500 to $5000. Way more then I am willing to pay for the "Emperor", who, though wearing no clothes, does offer a glimpse of the Crown Jewels.

Comment on Mango by Hogg

Retried Mango for lunch the other day, after a couple years….sadly I did not have the same positive experience. I found the sauce on the Satay noodles extremely oily and unappetizing. I want this place to be better than it is.
