Cindy, I forget the date when I planted my lily bulbs but they are coming up all over the place now. I love when I see the lilies sticking their green noses up out of the ground. Your new lilies are going to be stunning. Be sure and let us see when they bloom. Hurray, a real daylily scape. Isn't it funny how we all seem to not count the poor Stellas? Your scape looks good. Your garden looks great. I love Bowies sleeping place in the fenced in area on top of the leaves. Perfect place for a kitty (or two) to get in their naps :-)

This was sent to me as a joke forward. I'll post it as it was sent and let you decide whether or not you find this funny: Politically Correct Holiday Greeting: Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, our best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. In addition, please also accept our best wishes for a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2006, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make this country great (not to imply that this country is necessarily greater than any other country or area of choice), and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual orientation of the wishers. This wish is limited to the customary and usual good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting,whichever comes first. "Holiday " is not intended to, nor shall it be considered, limited to the usual Judeo-Christian celebrations or observances, or to such activities of any organized or ad hoc religious community, group, individual or belief (or lack thereof). Note: By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher at any time, for any reason or for no reason at all. This greeting is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. This greeting implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for the wisher her/himself or others, or responsibility for the consequences which may arise from the implementation or non-implementation of it. This greeting is void where prohibited by law. Somewhere, I think there's a lawyer with ENTIRELY too much time on his hands!

So happy to have you back, Anne. My life is so boring, even I'm snoozing throught it. Hopefully the rest of the KT have stories to tell to bring you up to speed on their goings on. Pris

Ohhhh! Count me in for the "happy" club. I have a new beautiful toilet, too. Well, it's been crated and stored in the garage since July, but it will be installed in the bathroom, eventually, and then I just know I'm going to love it. Here my Kohler's Katheryn, one-piece, comfort (ADA) height, elongated potty. Mine has a black lid with brushed nickle fittings. The trip lever is brushed nickle and white porcelain to match the sink faucet. Now is that gettin' above my raisin' or not?! LOL
