Hey Cappy ~ Holy Moly ~ It is U

We were best buds for so long and so long ago (in Ohio), and met again in Carpenteria. So glad to have located you. Sorry you're no longer on the OR coast, since I live in Eugene. Pls. call me at 541.556.2232. e-mail: Kohlkraus@comcast. net. Remember the empty house we used to play in; the poison sumac tree? What crazy years those were. Want to catch up...

Hugs, your pal, Glady (nka Kim-for obvious reasons)

Hi ~ So nice to hear from you

Our mothers were good friends. Mine Janice and yours Jimmie (?) You and I hung out a lot while the 'woman' were out antiquing(?) I think I spent more nights at your house than you did at mine. I remember your father brings fancy dolls, etc. from the orient for you...didn't he travel a lot? I also remember that I thought your mother was gorgious. We may have lost track of each other when you started Andrews School(?) I continued on at Kirtland High. When I was a senior my dad and I visited you, your mom and dad for a day, in Carpenteria. You and I fooled around at the beach. I don't remember seeing you after that. My parents are Jan (deceased) and John Kraus (with the sailboat), and I have a sister, Lin, who is two years older than I. It was fun sleuthing thru Google for Cappy McCloud, and then Tosetti. Just kept following leads to this garden site, and joined so I could contact you. Please send me contact info. I like phone/voice better than e-mail. Hope that works for you too. Have to run for now. Hugs, Kim

Hi Cappy ~ Just back from a visit with my sister in Southern Cal, dog shows in Santa Rosa, plus a couple of days with my step sister. I thought I would take a look at my childhood photo album to see if there is a photo of you and I together. If so, I will attempt to attach it. My sister (Linda-Melinda-Lin) says she remembers you too. We lived in Kirtland down a winding driveway into the woods, which I liked to explore in those days, and there were 50 wooded acres to wander behind our property. You and I also used to shimmy our way thru a broken window in a deserted house near yours and play all day. Remember? Did you finish school at Andrews? You mentioned you had moved a lot. Where have you been? Are your folks still alive? My mother and ex husband both passed away in 1981 (not a particularly good year. My dad is still alive, well and sailing several times a week. Very involved in his local senior club and sailing as many times a week as he can. He still lives in Newport Beach. Please update me about yourself and family too. Look forward to hearing from you.

Cappy,
I got my Lavateria seeds right out of Johnny's catalogue. I had bad luck with them this past year....the first in the last decade. No luck with moon flowers this year either, but I already have plans for a new and better garden in 2010, plus a chicken house (maybe).
