Rigo those are some nice brug seed mixes!! good luck with them. I sure would love to see some gardening pictures of the kids planting! Of course with the weather like this...not long and we will have a jungle. I was just looking through the photos from last year and it is amazing how fast things grow and it changes. Are your kids in school? I just heard that Ft. Worth had or has school closures. Just be safe!!and stay healthy. Wow after you are done with your bathroom. Can you come and do mine? Sounds like you are just the guy that could fix it up rofl. ha ha ha That sounds like what we used to say when we washed the car. Or you cut the grass and someone walks by and says to come on over to their house to continue on theirs roflmao You should post pictures of before and after of your bathroom. IF you got time and want to. You know we love all kind of pictures lol Take a hug with you until next time. (((((HUGS))))) Lucy

I've had a couple issues there myself. I guess there are some issues with how they came across because I did spend some time crying about it off and on. I thought, kind of like Lisa, that I was being too sensitive. Now, with all the different opinions, it definitely seems they have some problems with how they communicate to their members. I still think their hearts are in the right place, but they should work with how they communicate what they need to, or basically, they need to work on how they come across to others. Cody used the word "reprimand" which is very much how they come off. Anyways, Lisa, I'm glad you've successfully completed so many "trades" there as they call them. I've been trading there for over a year and haven't done near that many! There are some great members there as you get to know the individuals. I'm glad I blew off the issues there to be able to get to know some of the great gardeners/people in the group. Blessings, Angela

Hi Karen..thank you for your kind words of encouragement..I do believe in Prayers and Angels..and agree, that from all the wonderful, encouraging responces I've received here... I've found this forum to be a home to many. DH & I went out today to do some shopping and just enjoy the day..it felt good to be back to be doing just the simple little everyday things. kareen..thank you for your good wishes. DH & I are slowly 'bouncing back' to normal mode.. I think, any parent would do all they could to offer help or just support when needed..Funny how when you think you're not important to your kids anymore...they sure look to you for your strength in times like these..and it's also tough to show that strength when you want to just fall apart yourself. But, somehow, we manage to keep it together... I'm am so looking forward to our class with Judith...seems like there will be quite a nice size group joining in too. jane

Wow Jane, I am tired just reading about what all you did! Sounds like a wonderful time and lots of work and effort on your part. What a large group to entertain! So nice that your DH helps you with the decorating. Mine does not help with the inside at all. I carry everything up from the basement including the trees, all the boxes, ladders, etc. The only thing he does outside is put a blow mold Santa on our mailbox, although this year, he did run an extension cord from the backyard for some of the lights as they kept tripping the breaker this year! Again, getting everything down out of the rafters, off of the shelves, and put up is up to me! Sorry, I just needed to vent a little. I get a bit envious when I hear of other DH's that help with decorating. Anyway, looking forward to your pix. TFS, Candy
