For those of you who have been here forever....you will remember me as ladyinredokla....

I have been so busy with everything that I just havent been to the KT in quite some time. I am happy to be back. I just went thru the thread that showed where you sit at the KT and those pics are awesome!!

For those of you who are new....or have short memory spans, I will tell you a little about myself.

My name is Marla and I reside in a small town in Oklahoma with my hubby of 19 years and 3 kids. I manage a small hotel and we raise show sheep and goats(yuck). My kids are all involved in sports of some kind and keeps us very busy. My oldest son is 18(omg!) and the other one is almost 16 and just got his permit to drive(lord help us all). My daughter is 12(going on 17) is a mini me.

I love to share stories and goings ons(is that a word) and cant wait to get re-acquainted(spelling?).

Hi Marla! I've been thinking of you also, wondering what had happened to you! Welcome back. I know the feeling of a new driver, and Stacy (grinch-gut) just got a new driver. Sydney got her license! And my DS is 20, DD is going to be 24 the end of the month, she finally registered here as perfectpets (she used to be a pet photographer!), but doesn't get here much. Her son, remember my DGS, Damien?, is 4 1/2 now! If you do a search for my posts, There is a couple pics of him.

This is what I did. It is actually in my breakfast room. The center is 24 inch fridge drawers with 15 inch drawers beside them. The uppers are the same width and 15 inches deep, done to go over the 27 inch depth below to fill the space we had. That extra depth really helped with storing one more row of glasses in the narrow cabinets. Can't say we planned it that way, but it sure worked out well.

Sharon, I do know that you have walked this same road. I remember grieving with you. I have not asked the NICU yet what size they want. I am thinking that I want to go and ask them in person. James did get a burial gown, but we did not use it as my son and daughter-in-law decided on cremation since they plan to move from the Nashville area eventually. This way, James can go with them and is not left behind with no one to visit his grave. We turned the gown back to the NICU when we picked up his memory box. My son has asked me to take James' receiving blankets and hats that he wore and make a memory quilt out of those. Thanks so much for the kind words and prayers.

Sunflowers! Those flowers are, to me, an emblem of all that is good about Garden Party. When my son died in 2012, I got not only tons of virtual sunflowers from GPers but also actual sunflowers from Janet from MD. But they are as good for happy news as for sad, and I give them to folks whenever I can. Have a birthday? a wedding? a new baby? Sunflowers are the thing.

Hi Marla,
The admission standards were lowered a while back and they let a guy pull a chair up to the kitchen table. I got sucked in by the I'll show you mine thread about 5 or 6 months ago and it just seemed like a friendly bunch. I live in Minnesota, have a social worker wife, a 26 year old daughter and 4 sons; 24, 21, 19, and 14. I have a landscaping business. Oh, my daughter is married and we have a granddaughter that will be three in March and of course she's just about the cutest and smartest kid on the planet.
