That brought up horrible thoughts! What if I'd had five Jeremys or Alexes - at their weight! Alex was 8'6", Jeremy 9'8" - and they didn't deliver by C section.

There have been mumblings and rumors about this over the past year with a lively debate. Now you all know that I am there on a regular basis. If it has to permanently close I WILL NOT be a happy camper. The gardens have always been free unlike all the other venues in that area to include the DeYoung Museum, The Academy of Sciences of which you almost have to be a millionaire to afford their entrance fees, The Japanese Tea Garden and the Conservatory of Flowers.
