Yes, Suzy it is. Thanks for such a nice post even after I usurped Sheilas post. I was just so happy to remember and realize I shared the day with someone so special and special to me at the Party. Robin you got it right. Christy it is. I was upstairs reading then siesta after a nice brunch I made for myself. Christy is home from work now and about to go steam me some Alaskan King Crab legs, garlic style. Janis I always love to see you here. Thanks for the wish. Suzy I'm glad you're enjoying the Artisan bread. I recently just bought their book as a used book on Amazon. If you're interested in any other type of bread that's no knead just let me know. They have all sorts, challah, oatmeal, whole wheat, bagels, olive oil breads, pretzels, etc. It's nice to be back. Now with the digital camera I guess I could and should take some pics of some of my work. Have to get to that....probably after we stop melting around here.

Oh, Luanne! You posted that picture and I had to face reality. I've aged so in the past few years..and I still wear that T-shirt! Thank you all for the birthday wishes. I treasure all my rose friends and the happy times I've spent with many in person and online. Ron and I are doing well. He's already been tilling the veggie garden and starting seedlings in the kitchen windows. The rose garden is looking good. We had a mild winter but a bit dry. The roses are almost all pruned and the tulip magnolias and redbuds are blooming..spring is almost here. I'm dividing my time with weed pulling, getting ready for several OGR talks in my area and some garden tours here. Hopefully, spring will be good this year and I'll have lots of pictures to share. Thanks to all of you again!

Kathy, I'm not the Craftylady that sent that lovely watering can to you. Now I see your post that it should be on the Stained Glass & Mosaic forum. (Disregard the email I sent you.) Sal

Way to go, CRAFTY! Wish I'd thought of it also! (YIKES! I am reminded, again...TMG, I'll put a check in the mail to you TOMORROW! So sorry I have forgotten to do that!)
