The one and only!


I also got T-shirt which says

"Alcatraz Swim Team"

And another one that says

"Alcatraz Psycho Ward
Outpatient"

Can't resist a good deal. 3 shirts for $10. And not made in China.

Had to send off my good MIL to San Francisco International Airport for a return trip to the Philippines, so we dropped by and tour her around the Bay Area. But she will be back sometime if not soon...

Believe me, she's a good one and helped us a lot after the incident with our son. We are going to miss her for a while.

She's a good tailor. She sewed me some special sized root control bags for my avocado seedlings and other fancy stuff while with us.

That psycho shirt may be closer to the truth than you realize.....I don't know of anybody else who would even graft 60 cultivars on one tree, and say that was the end of it, and then do 20 more!!!

Wow, sounds like you've got yourself a winner for a mother-in-law. Did she sew you that grafting apron I saw a while back. I've got to order one of those! Smile

Yes, I forgot to mention that Apron with many pockets to hold the pruning shear, Lysol, Alcohol Spray, an assortment of grafting knives, places for scionwood stick, rubber bands, grafting tapes...

Still some modifications before it gets my seal of approval, then she can make you one. She will be back hopefully next year.
