I hope your computer trouble will be over soon. <br />You asked me if I ever went to Longwood Gardens when we lived in Ardmore. No, we did not because at the time my husband was at the University of Pennsylvania and we did not have a car. We commuted with public transportation. We bought an old VW at the end of his studies and then we moved away. I’d love to go and visit them though.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470877934076705573.post-6738829920924955912013-09-27T15:49:45.834-04:002013-09-27T15:49:45.834-04:00Oh, bummer.
