Thank you all for these nice complements. Nell, the photographer has been back already this year taking lots of pictures of my roses. He showed me some of his shots that were in the camera and he truely does do remarkable work. He has so much patience, it takes him forever to take pictures, I just leave him to wander around the garden. He also has a great zoom so can get something in the back of a bed shooting from the front. I have to litterally go stand in front of whatever I want to shoot. If I want to get closer, I have to move there, the camera can't do it for me. The point I was going to make is I enjoy my own pictures better because I took them. But the flowers are here so I see no reason why he shouldn't take pictures also.

If I make it past the audition I thought of my intro and my exit. Intro I am going to wave to the audience (Hi!) and say "I'm going to take you back to 1979. Feel free to clap or if you want to sing along......if you know the words. When im done I am going to say "thank you" and then courtsey

So many talented people on GW/Houzz. I've enjoyed seeing everything. I don't have any pictures to share, but have done stitching (cross stitch, needlepoint, petipoint and embroidery). Several of my friends and I decided to do a holiday sale years ago, where I made a lot of rosebud topiary, rosebud picture frames and reindeer centerpieces. I've done numerous centerpieces and other floral arrangements, wreaths and topiary for our homes. Canvas art done with various pieces (coins, rings, keys, metal pieces, textured papers and cloth, etc). I've sewn curtains, tablecloths and costumes. Created several garden areas at our last home. I played the flute and piccolo in high school and was in an Army Reserve Band. I also twirled rifle in high school, and have the bad wrist to prove it! My most consist talent has been decorating/accessorizing.

I found them, Pink, thank you. I had assumed they were on this season's AGT. They are good! So far this season, my favorite is Sal Valentinetti, a young man with an incredible (I think) voice. His first audition he sang "I Did It My Way", and Heidi Klum gave him the Golden Buzzer. Honestly, if I hadn't been watching him, I would have thought it was Frank Sinatra singing. I didn't think he was quite as good on his first live show a couple of weeks ago, but he was still very good. He has a good stage presence, too. There is also a little girl contortionist that is so incredible! I'm rooting for her, too. Rusty
