Sunday, January 27th:  Morning was church - our new choir director, Tracy Stirk, is excellent - he introduced a bunch of new music on Wednesday - great attitude, definitely professional, a teacher.  Afterwards, I had lunch at Rob and Helen's, followed by a thorough analysis of Rob's Tower Garden (a verticle aeroponic garden which can accomodate all kinds of vegetables).  If you have a small space but want a garden, you really should check this idea out!  Just google "Tower Gardens".  Helen is going to Costa Rica and then Panama for two months, Rob's mom is coming to stay with him for a month, then Rob is going to join Helen - their son in Panama is having another baby.  I've agreed to water Rob's seedlings while he's off putting Helen on a plane and picking up his mother Monday and Tuesday morning. The seedlings start off hydroponically in a tray, then are transferred to the Tower, where they are "rained on" every 15 minutes by a pump system.
