I'd love more information!
Thanks

I joined! Thanks for the invitation Carolann ;)

Pam

Scubagal, you can go to our clkub site and the home page tells you a lot about us. We have 36 members and lots of fun. We share plants, cuttings, seeds and ideas. Twice a year we meet in Ft. Worth and this year we plan to take a road trip to Hilary's place out in the country. She has a precious place with trailing gardens and a quaint farm like feel to it.
Pam, you live near Bev so maybe you two can share rides to any get togethers or meetings.

I would love to carpool with Bev...Kristi too, if she's a member. Are most of the meetings on weekends, Carolann? I am currently working Friday through Monday. I know most folks like to gather on Saturday, when they are off work. Can I just bring my swap plants to you early?

Pam

Pam, not all meetings are on weekends. The plant swaps are always on a Saturday but you can make a want list on the club site when we get closer to the day of the swap and you can bring plants early.
Our swaps are great. Some people drive from as far away as Texarkana and Austin.

The last swap was amazing! Everyone had a really good time. I'm glad I joined myself.PJ

Looked at any dates for the Spring plant swap, Carol? Boy, do I need something to take my mind off this COLD weather.

PJ, I'm glad we have you too. You're a fun and knowledgeable garden friend.

Carrie, you're making me start wishing for the spring plant swap. BTW, I still have the strawberry pot you left at the fall swap. I'll keep it till the next swap or bring it to you if I get to come out.

The spring plant swap is usually the first week in May but we usually vote on it. In case several people will be out of town then.

The first Saturday in May is the 5th - my family reunion and homecoming in my little south central Texas town - I will be going there.

Maybe we'll have to have it in April this time. Last May we had several people who went on vacation,

We sure don't want you to miss it Carrie.

I joined the garden club - after getting some type passport? - lol But I'm not sure what to do now. I am getting peoples comments via email delivery, but when I got to the actual site I keep seeing screen after screen on MSN & hotmail stuff- asking if I want hotmail email? it only happens when I try to click on the calender. Am I doing something wrong? I'm signed in and it shows my name at the top of the page...By the way I couldn't get scuba gal on there - so I am smurfett88
Thanks!

Try and post a reply to the welcome message from the club.

The calendar isn't updated so that's why it does that.

Email me if you have any more problems or questions. gardengateclub@sbcglobal.net

Carol

P.S. hang in there and we'll help you out.

So is there a garden club near Flower Mound just north of Dallas? I would love to hook up with a group of gardeners from that area while I am down there on an extended visit from northern Minnesota.

Carrie, what town in South Central TX?

A little town by the name of Lexington, Kathy, located 50 miles east of Austin and very near where Jolana lives. I will be going back in May for Homecoming and a family reunion.

Oh, that reminds me, my MIL's neighbors Dh is from Lexington and they go to the wonderful homecoming every year. She was going to ask him if he knew y'all
I don't know if I told you, last year when I went, I won at Chicken sh*t bingo, lol
My neighbor was with me (she is from MA) and she said
" this could only be played in TX" hehehehe
So I had to tell her " oh we also play cow pattie bingo" hehehehe

I was hoping it was near me.

ok, I have to ask. What is MIL and Dh?

Mother-in-law and dear husband

Well, San Antonio is not that far, Kathy --- maybe Jolana and I could visit you some day - it would be a nice drive.
Jolana, you did not tell me about the bingo win --- how funny.

Hopefully it won't be much longer and I will be able to drive longer than I do now.
I am still cautious when driving in the rain. I am terrified someone will hit me and break my hardware or fusions loose.

I love the bingo names. They could've only been thought up by a Texan. lol

Maybe one day Carrie and I can take a road trip and come up to see Jolana and all pop on up to see Kathy.

Wouldn't that be fun.

Carrie....what do ya think???

Kathy, I don't blame you for being cautious about your back.
(did I spell cautious right)??

Sounds like fun to me.....

Me too...Carrie Berry

Let's go!!!!

Pack your bags ----------!!!!!

Bags? how long y'all plannin' on stayin'? Long enough to clean my house?

I'll clean your house, paint, etc, just tell me the weather is decent there, lol
jolana

Better stock up on groceries, Kathy - we eat a lot when we clean house, etc.

So, how much liver and mountain oysters should I buy?

Jolana, it's really warm at my house and the garage is the warmest. hehehe

"Better stock up on groceries, Kathy - we eat a lot when we clean house, etc."
Good idea Carrie.

NObody said nuthin bout cleanin'! Where'd that come from??? I'll ummm supervise! Yeah that's it! PJ

Garage? My Step MIL treats me better than that LOL

PJ, Kathy asked if we would clean, lol
So Carrie said she would and I volunteered to pick out the beverages and the mulch guy and you can't supervise, you are in training, you have to work Cinderelly, LOL

I am not so sure cleaning would not be good training - builds stamina. No supervising job for you, PJ..uh huh!

OK I'll run in circles around the property like a dog. I hate cleaning!!! Blah! PJ

Poor PJ, we left her running around in circles like a dog.

I thought I'd bump this up.
