Chocolate Brug smiling at you I KNOW one day we will meet for sure. Because I just know that you spread the same feeling that Kylie says when I hug people. I just share the love I have with anybody who needs it. And a hug is such a great way to do that. Now you know CB that I am coming your way again in February lol. I will add a extra day if you are home and available...I would love to meet you. I will write you a e mail when things are more final. I promised the gorgeous grandson from the POTD of today, that I will be there for his birthday. So far I only made it to his younger brother's birthday. Pam it is so wonderful to hear that you enjoy the morning cheers. Exactly what I am trying to do. Kylie again I say that I wished I could have been in 2 places at the same time. There are not very many people in this world were I can laugh like I can with you. Prince Albert I wish I could have. It is a long story but it was just not possible. 2 boys and a *princess*, took a lot of talking...explaining...keeping them from fighting...telling on each other and on and on. Besides, my daughter kept us on the go constantly so Maddy would see as much as possible from Orlando. When I meet CB, I want to be able to be at peace lol and have the time to do so...not squeeze a good friend in. Siam you know I took a few pictures of some very gorgeous Canna's just for you at Disney. Unfortunately, all the looking did not produce any seeds. I do not believe it would have went well if I started digging tubers up at Disney roflmao Susan you know it is always wonderful to read that you enjoy my postings. Gosh sometimes I think to myself...who in the world has time to read all that rofl. Like this one. ha ha ha But I am trying to catch up to postings. Man I must have fallen behind and I am sure someone bumped me off the number one slot ha ha ha ha Kristy thank you so much for trying. Unfortunately I really did not get the missed call until the next day :-( and on that day we were at Universal I believe. Amelia yes I had a great time. But trust me...THREE young grandbabies in ONE place and everyone wants me for themselves...I just today did not have to take a LONG nap to recover lol They and all the running around, wore me out!! Kristy you do know my neighbors well ha ha ha After cutting the grass tonight, it looks even better. DH really did do a great job for not being interested in gardening what so ever!Yes you are right...most of the time I only had my cell phone with me when I needed to call home. I was temped to go online a few times when I woke up at 4:30 am in the mornings, but you all know me. With all the *talking* , I would have never gotten off the PC in time to be ready to go have fun with the kids lol Mary I will safe Kristy's offer to help out here one day, when DH and I decide to go on a trip TOGETHER lol. He is going to visit our youngest Daughter in PA in a couple of weeks :-) Chocolate Brug...ROFLMAO...the kids wore ME out hahahahahahaha Oh man, you mean I could have had BBQ ing from you?? OH brother now I really really wish I would have come over to meet you :-))))) Kristy, when I finally saw the missed call, I KNEW that it must have to do with something like getting in touch with a floridan GWler. Of course I had no Idea that CB is only 45 miles away. It is in the past now and like I said...if it is suppose to happen, it will! Who knows...I am getting fonder and fonder of a GW get together. It IS truly the best to meet each one of you in person. Kristy for the first time in 2 years I also have some green grass rofl. He used sprinklers...that cheater ha ha ha ha ha I hope that it will be a long time before I will be missed again. For I missed all of you also BIG HUGS Lucy OH MY GOSH..I just wrote my first novel!!! roflmao

Thank you all so very much. :) This truly is my favorite time of the year. Ok, deadheading Teasing Georgia WILL be a chore, but it's be well worth it because she comes back super fast every time. Nikolai (the parrot) is like a puppy. I met him when he was 8 weeks old and not quite feathered yet. I visited him at the breeder 2-3 times a week, and he's been home with me for about 2 months now. He snuggles non stop, lays in my arm, cuddles under my chin, and is starting talk. He's lots of work, but worth every minute ;) Weather permitting I'll take some pictures of my roses in the front today. Again, thank you all very much. :) --- Wendy
