Hi all, My pkg. from Carol was waiting for me when I came home today: ) I It was filled with all kinds of good stuff! She sent me a wonderful 10 iris assortment. a White Japanese Yellow Flag Honey Glazed Superstition a pretty purple a red Beverly Sills a light blue heirloom Arctic Snow and Champagne Along with all the iris she sent a couple of frogs(figurines not live ones, lol) a bathsoap set a lavendar/vanilla candle a dog magnet- my husband already put it on the fridge. and a flag pin- she must of remembered I collect pins! oh and the hat! I told my husband he has to take my picture. Thanks Carol for such a great box! I did get all the iris potted tonight, so I happy about that. My husband even asked what he has to do after the operation for all the plants. It is very sweet of him, but very funny. I'm thinking don't you notice me dragging the hose around after work? lol. It is a very simple procedure. Sue/GiverNY4me, I'm glad I'm not boring you: ) I looked up Felder Rushing. He sounds like an interesting guy. I drove out to Rochester alone to the big garden show there, but I specifically went when Brent of Brent and Becky's bulbs was speaking. So I find it perfectly normal for you to go see Rushing: ) You'll have to let us know how it was after you go. You know I was thinking for all the people in this group with heath problems we should of called ourselves the Old Broke Down Buddies or something lol. Remy

Suzieque...thank you so much. I just heard that the hospital may send her home tomorrow, they have her on a pump for pain and i am not sure if that will continue at home, but her dh said she wants to go home. Marie... I hope your DD and DH continue to improve. Thanks for the note, you have been so kind to me in the past. and helped me with other things. Ellie.... aw, thank you! I often feel, and say, that I wish I could be as articulate as some of you on here. I appreciate your kind words. I imagine as we all age, we will be in these situations more often than not. And, of course, one of these days...... no one can say when..... we will each be the one whose hand is being held. All I know is that we are not promised a tomorrow....so live today as if it is your last. I have not done that by any means, ever, in fact I am one of the worst for worrying about things I cannot change, but sometimes things happen to put life in perspective for you. This is a wonderful place, this KT, to come and share and ask for advice, and for prayer and good thoughts. And also to pass on encouragement to our 'cyber' friends as they need it. Bless you all!

Thanks everyone Debby as far as I know she had a massive heart attack. They had to resuscitate her in the ambulance and didn't expect her to live through the night (5/23) they put her on life support that night as her internal organs were shutting down. Her blood pressure raised the following day and she tried to open her eyes once (as far as I know) but otherwise no response. Her grandson was born the day all this happened and Rach said in her text that Marg did get to see him. I really don't know the details on this because I thought she was unresponsive since they took her to the hosp, maybe she perked up some while there the first day, I really don't know. Tomorrow (Wed) is Rach's birthday, I'm sure I know what her birthday wish is.............I can only hope and pray that it will be granted and that Marg will come back to us as the person we know and love but I'm just not sure after this long if that will happen. Again thanks for the thoughts and prayers, they are appreciated. Diane
