Thank you all. Carla, I had sort of forgotten what day it was when I decided to check the forum this evening. I spent the morning and afternoon taking Bubba to and from a colonoscopy appt (had mine on Valentine's Day, aren't we the most romantic couple ever!) This afternoon walked around tying some climbers in, found a few tiny buds, started thinking about this forum. The birthday wishes and beautiful blooms made me smile. Mendocino, that is one beautiful rose, I always enjoy the pictures of your lovely garden with so many varieties that I can't grow here. Carol, who is that lovely, Rosette Delizy maybe or Clementina.... Paula, yep I was dreaming of some roses past today, a couple that went belly up for no apparent reason, but as always there are others waiting in the wings. Ann, I have been dreaming of the mountain, it's been several weeks. Will be interesting to see what made it through the winter this year. Hopefully no late freeze like last year. No roses planted yet. Since I promised "manly" landscaping, trying to figure what roses will fit the bill. Will be up the first week in April for sure. My Seven Sisters here is very happy. Did yours recover? I have some replacements for you just in case. Rozanna, I'm so glad you're back with your noisettes and garden! Aptos is trying to eat the greenhouse and I thought of you today when I was tying in Mrs. Waterlow, it was in your garden that I fell in love with her foliage. Thanks again all! Lisa B.

Thank you, everybody for the birthday wishes. It was a very quiet day with just my immediate family. Since my daughter also had a birthday yesterday, we ate a very gourmet meal of chicken wings and potato wedges with ranch dressing! LOL She turned 13. Lisa

Thank you!! I'm 47-yikes. DH took me to Too Jays for lunch. We are eating Papa Johns tonight-its school fundraiser night and I am in charge of that so I had better order some!! Hey-no cooking or clean up at least. Banana cake is cooking in the oven. I haven't opened presents yet.

Thank you everyone. We are on vacation in TN. We had snow flurries the last 2 days-the kids enjoyed that! No where to eat here-we brought KFC home for dinner after spending the the day in Knoxville. Hows that for a Bday dinner LOL?? We are by Norris Lake. Tonight we went in the hot tub while it was snowing!
