The Kitchen Table

Spent some time with Charlee!! PICS

18 years ago

DH, DD, DD's BF and I went to Van Buren MO for my family reunion and Charlee and Glen drove up to stay in her Dad's cabin there. We had met there briefly a couple years ago, but this time around we got to spend a lot more time together.

Here we are Saturday night at the drive-in (Charlee, Me, my DH and Glen):

Not a great picture. DD and her BF had never been to a drive-in before.. so they really enjoyed it. Neither Glen nor I could follow the movie (The Dark Knight) at all and my DH fell asleep a couple times so I know he wasn't following it! lol

Charlee and Glen came to the reunion too and I hope they had a good time.

Here's Charlee (in the hat) and me by Big Spring:

Later Charlee joined my DH and the kids in a raft float down the Current River. Glen went back to his cabin and I joined my parents at ours.

I really enjoy Charlee and Glen's company. They are really nice people! If you get a chance to meet them, make sure you do.

Sounds like a sweet time relaxing with friends, Lydia. It's so nice down there. We rafted the Current and Jacks fork a couple of years ago and I fell in love with the spring feed rivers near Eminence. So clean and refreshing, not like our slimmey, rocky rivers here.

Charleen and you took a really good pic!

Cindy, thank you, I do love a variety! Isle of Zanzibar still mesmerizes me when I see it bloom! Lisa, I've had Morrie Ott for about six years in my garden. It is one of my all time favorite mini's. Some of those pretty edges you refer to had a hard time opening this morning. Mississippi Memories being one of them. Sharon, thank you. Enchanting Esmerelda is one of those that need to be in the garden for its performance and beauty. Will always reside here! Julia, I love my neck of the woods because the dormants do well here as well as MOST of the southern breds. I feel I have the best of both worlds as far as what I can decide to grow here! I've had Cerise Masterpiece three years. It has not increased rapidly for me here. Started as a single fan, now has three fans and the blooms still are not pristeen. Hopefully it will show itself off a lot better by end of this season! dreamingdaylilies, I moved Way Past Cool to my new deer protected bed last fall, so this picture really doesn't show it in its full beauty. I'm sure it will settle in nicely tho. As far as Morrie Otte goes...I've never had a problem with Morrie here. You might be right as far as temps being too cool. Rita, one of the reasons I like looking at all your picks! You have so many things I don't that I get nothing but pure enjoyment looking at yours! I have to admit purple being my favorite, I still fall for all those pinks with gold edges! Thank you all for taking the time to take a peak into my neck of the woods! Nancy

Whoo Hooo!!! Yay Linda, I cannot wait to see my Amaryllis baby. Do you believe I saved none for myself. These were my first experience with propagating amaryllis. Marion had one of mine bloom too. Do you want some seeds of my new conquests, Linda??? God bless you girl, gardening is so theraputic and I can see it working on lifting your spirits. Great to have you back and smiling babe!

Thanks-- I really can't tell any of my friends/relatives that I've been feeling up my counters, but I knew you all would understand! Maureen, Bob seems pretty proud of his seems (or lack there of-- I really can't see it at all). He's doing a great job so far.

Anyone heard from Charlee? Other missing KTers?

Thanks for asking, Lydia1959! Sjerin told me you inquired (thanks!) I have been working temp and have also been really busy trying to reorganize my house. Things are progressing. I got an unbelievable bargain on ground chuck so I spent 2 1/2 days cooking it up and freezing it which is good because I start another assignment on Monday. Don't know how long it'll last and it may be busy as I'll be transcribing and taking care of Cardiology patients. Thanks for asking! Will try to post again as soon as possible. I feel bad as I can't read and answer all the posts so it's easier not to come to the KT, but anyone can always email me privately. I also have a deadline coming up to have my house like I want it, so I'll be back as soon as I can! Miss chatting about Survivor and Idol! :)

Years ago, my family camped on the Current River and drifted the river on rented inner tubes - What a Blast! The stuff I saw people floating down the river was unbelieveable. One group had a cooler with an inner tube wrapped around it and was drinking the afternoon away.

We wore tennis shoes for fear there might be broken glass on the river bottom. My biggest mishap: I got a load of chiggers. I figured that I picked them up when I waded through tall grass going back to the tent.
