Comments (96)OOpps. Forgot to say I'm back from the tour of the western quarter of Lake Ontario. We ended up motor sailing much of the trip---no wind, except of course when we had to stay put in Toronto, while they measured and sewed the new canvas for the boat. THEN there was a steady breeze through the Western Gap that kept us cool in spite of the 90+ temps. All went well until our stop in Wilson NY on the way home. I lumbered off the boat looking forward to a land pit stop if you know what I mean. Well I stumbled over my own two feet and-----went down with a bang and came up scraped up, bleeding and wouldn't you know it with a broken elbow. This IS the PITS. It's broke for sure but they don't cast a 'simple' elbow fracture so its grin and bear it and do PT to make sure the joint doesn't freeze up. Meanwhile the garden is now a jungle and I still have stuff to put in. My June goodie box was here waiting for me---thanks pal for the cheer. I can't believe the stuff you manage to find. This month's had a summer theme with stuff ranging from citronella to sunburn gel to glow in the dark bug off bracelet. (Now where did you find that?). She managed to fill the box with an even dozen of summer related fun. Thanks so much it has made my day. Theresa, Gabbie is truly adorable. Treasure these showerless days, they will be gone soon enough. Pooch, even the 'minions' bring a certain joy. AND Happy Birthday, PlantLadyJan!!!!!!...See Morenew: obf june's special friend swap

Comments (126)Margo-Congratulations on your first grandchild -soon-to-be. So sad to hear about your bird....I love when they can talk to you that is so cool. We get so attached to our pets and it is hard when we lose them. Hugs coming your way. Thanks for all the happy anniversaries...I remember when Eddie asked me to marry him and I said no way. I hate needles and told him no blood tests for me. He said he knew we could go to SC and not have to get blood tests so that is what we did. Jeanne-lets pray the treatments get scheduled soon. Keep us updated. Glad you received the daylily and hope you see tons of blooms. WE have had so much rain it is unreal. I don't know if my bearded irises can withstand all this rain, they are bad to get bacterial soft-rot with too much rain. Sue G - I received the daylilies and will ship out your Freda James Daylily Monday. Thanks A Halloween anniversary sounds interesting. Eddie always says everyone celebrates our anniversary with all the fireworks. Shirley...See Moregardengirl37232
