Good Morning my Friends it has been a long while since I have stuck my head in the room to say howdy to all my friends here.

We are getting ready to move back to ILL so I am busy packing and trying to get our farm sold here.

Hubby is hanging in there but has some health problems so we need to get closer to home and be by our kids.

I saw so many good people on the post for MaryAnnTx I just had to say hello to you all...I will try and stay in closer contact now.

Let me know how each one of you are doing I have missed this place it was always a fun part of my day love and hugs for you all imabest

Hi Kathy!
I saw your post on the facebook page and was going to drop you a note..... it's great to hear from you! I think of you so often :) I'm moving too so there will be no visiting in this backyard....I would have loved that! Good luck with your move and say hello to your dear hubby. Take good care my friend...
Love and hugs,
Patti

Hey, girl, good to hear from you! I admire your bravery on the orchid. With the great advice I know is available on GW, the actual caring for it is no longer intimidating to me, but I have yet to see one that looks like it could make the trip home. They just look SOOOO fragile and delicate. I'd say the hard part's over for you, especially since you were already NOT killing the one you had before. Good luck!

Scott! Welcome back! Yes, I missed you too. Having said that, I'll be very busy myself this summer - we bought an old house that needs fixing (for youngest DD and fam to live in). I'm adding the first pics to the "that old house" thread in a few minutes. Sorry to hear about your job. I'll send good thought up for you to find the perfect job real soon! :) Mary

Not much gardening going on with me either. I NEED to be dividing some black-eyed susans and cosmos, but we seem to spend a lot of weekends going to grand-kids soccer and football games. And like catbird, we're trying to get ready for the onslaught of the holidays. Also our house is topsy-turvy right now. We're having hardwood put in our BR (which we should have done when we built the house), so everything is a mess. Should get the final coat of finish tomorrow and can move furniture back in this weekend. Then we've got to paint the walls at some point when I pick out new bedding. It's been interesting to try to find stuff we've moved around. Oh yeah, we're also rehearsing for the Living Christmas Tree, which will be the weekend before Christmas.

Hello, All! Hope everyone had a nice holiday season! Like Rosey, I managed to suck up all the local germs while visiting my kids and grandkids... the younger of which are walking virus factories interacting daily with all manner of other neighborhood children and schoolmates... and came home with a nasty chest cold/flu combination. The old guy and I are both sick. I'm glad for things like Vick's VapoRub and antibiotics! I'm a believer in modern pharmaceuticals, as long as I know what they contain and how they work, and whether or not there are more side effects than good effects! My grandson was full blown sick while we were there, complete with fever that makes your ears red and hot, a horrid cough from a tight chest with infection, packed sinuses, runny nose, chapped lips, the whole nine yards. It's the kind of sick that makes your skin hurt! You know you need to eat, but you can't stomach anything. We felt so bad for the poor little guy... and now that we have it, we know what a trooper he was! I'm off to a bad start with the new year... my monitor burnt up, I got sick, and to top everything off, I managed to leave my camera behind when we packed up to come home. I think I did, anyway... I can't find it. On the positive side, H. "Minerva" has kindly waited for me, and is just now starting to open her large buds! And nothing died while we were gone, meaning that my orchids hung in there with the watering I gave them before we left for Christmas. I also have a Gloriosa vine growing tall and looking to bloom, I think. I had thought the corm died in the pot, but when I gave it a small drink to moisten the medium a bit, it began to grow! It will be interesting to see if it does bloom, as it's growing in an east facing window. Nice photos, everyone! Josh, that is such a wonderful Catt! Well... trying to get caught up with reading and posting, taking my time through this cold. I sure hope no one else gets it... it's a nasty one! Talk at ya all later!

Really good to hear from you again, stranger.

Sorry that your husband has health problems and I hope that your closing out of your current situation and your move all go smoothly.

Also that both of you can continue to be in as good health as possible, given the circumstances.

I had a clot in the lung just over a year ago, and apart from slight pain and some discomfort for part of a day, have been able to continue my life pretty well as before, since then ... so I am a very thankful man.

HI Kathy....so good to hear from you...sorry to hear your husband isn't doing real good. I think it is a smart move to be by your kids...but I'll bet it's hard to leave that place.

Our place gets harder and harder for Denny to take care of.

We have a young man at church who comes out all the time to help Denny. They've become good friends..
They come out and play card games or dice games with us quite often. They are much younger than us but I've never fit with my own age group...I'm too imature...hehe

I sure hope when things slow down you will come here more often...we miss you.

Imabest, yes still nursing. Kids are doing good. Alex is in his second year of college. Lauren is in her second year of high school.

Hope your move goes smoothly. I always hate moving, not necessarily going to a new place but the hassle of moving all that stuff. Hope you keep in touch with us after the move.

Hi! I've been wondering where you had run off to! Don't know if you remember that we bought an RV. We are out having fun for a week or two. Damien is 8 now, and playing soccor coached by his mom. He also played baseball and likes that better than soccor. Please don't be such a stranger to the table! I have the Christmas card exchange up and running. Please join us!
