Did you send them on to Kathy? I think that was Clovis's round robin from last year - does she/he still post on here? I think I got them today.............

I did and I'll be more than happy to either post them for you, send you the HTML code so you can paste them into your own thread or even walk you through the process so you can learn. It's very simple once you get the hang of it. Here's my email address, just let me know which you prefer to do. lukkiirish@gmail.com That is such a great story and I love the name Maggie. She may not have been what you wanted, but I think you will really enjoy having her. Originally, I wanted another Golden Retriever but was not thrilled about taking on the grooming needs. When Golddust announced her Lab Jack I fell in love with the pictures and read up on them. Temperment wise, Labs are very similar to Golden's and I couldn't be more thrilled with our choice. I just can't get over how smart they are. I prefer to have our pets in pairs as well but could never handle two, especially when walking them! LOL We got our girl over Labor Day weekend and my DH was the one who compromised. I've wanted a dog for years but my husband was perfectly content without one. Then one day we had to get cat food and there was a woman shopping with her new puppy, a yellow lab and DH was smitten. We tried to adopt from a rescue but ran into some frustrations. Then one day I saw an ad online from someone who lived in our area. They had 11 yellow lab puppies, males and females. My husband said I should call, you know, just to inquire and they still had several left. The lady offered let us see them that night and we were there within the hour. We ended up leaving with Ellie and I like to think she picked us. She was the only one who greeted us at the door and then she stayed close to us the whole time we were there. I've posted the link from when I announced her below. There are pictures in both the beginning and end of the thread. I also posted pictures more recently in Golddust's post about her chocolate lab, Jack. http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/decor/con1218514631788.html I'll try to get another couple of pics over the weekend. She is growing like a weed and at 45 lbs still thinks of herself as a lap dog. I believe she is an American Lab as well. Get your pictures ready! I can't wait to see her! Here is a link that might be useful: Ellie (short for Eloise)

Is there a reason the hutch isn't centered on the wall? I guess the palm is 'live' and needs to be by the window, but it'd look nice in the larger space to the right of the hutch. Like others, I think you need two large prints on each side of the hutch......(yes, put one behind the palm). : ) Only other thing I'd change is to add some large decor on the table. Some ideas are a decorative basket, a wire basket holding lots of fruit (real or faux), a large ceramic bowl that picks up the colors of your drapes, or maybe some type of statue.

Very wise, gagal. I'm not much of a gambler so I do the same. And I totally agree with your evaluation of Spice. That is exactly the way it behaves here, too. Arosebyanyother, I'm not sure where you are so my choices may not be suitable for you. I grow these in my camellia bed where the star is my older camellia surrounded by roses. In the same bed are: Mystic Beauty and Souvenir de St. Anne's, both of the SdlM family, Bolero, a Meilland floribunda fussypants rose (Thanks for that, Cynthia) Lullaby, a showy and fragrant poly with a hint of lilac pink in cold weather Baby Alberic- a poly that blushes yellow in cool weather and reminds me of a mini tea rose Clothilde Soupert, a white/pink blush poly that performs like Spice but may ball in cool wet weather I will be switching out a couple struggling roses to a better spot for them (I hope) and will add Ferdinand Pichard.
