Spring Fling?
Comments (84)Well, it's official. I can't come this year. The birthday party is at 1:00. Smack dab in the middle of the Fling. I had an awesome door prize to bring, too! Maybe someone has already brought it, but if not, I bought myself a garden kneeler. I know some of you have them. I've only used it once (first time was yesterday), but I got a lot of cleanup done and am not needing my chiropractor, lol! Fairly inexpensive at $20. I got it at Lowe's. I thought it would make a great prize. If you have back problems like I do, you might consider getting one...or someone else could bring it as a prize! Y'all have fun! I'll live vicariously, lol!...See MoreSpring Fling 2018!!! - Anyone? Testing....1,2,3
Comments (101)Now, see, Paula, I would be putting a big heart emoji here now. You guys are the best, and all of us can easily see why you do it; and when you pass the baton, all of the rest of us would love to take it up. As much as I'd like to have it here, I must admit, you are the perfect place, and even Kim can make it that far. Jack, Jay, Jacob, and the rest of you who are in the netherlands, you should try it just once. (Hmmm, is there something about J's?) You do it because you have a big heart, and you love your fellow members, and because your place is perfect. I don't see most of you as often as I'd like. . . which would be 6 blocks away, max and with 10 minutes notice for visiting. Okay half an hour away. Like many of the rest of you, the LAST thing I want to do is to leave my gardens and the property. I'd be a lot more engaged with groups and folks and clubs if I could do it at MY home. :) I HAVE gone out on a limb and connected with Amy and Eileen in the Tulsa vicinity since I have willingly foregone time away from home for that. And now, having forged a bond there, I'd probably even make up an excuse to see those two characters. AND even their hubbies! I miss George, and think of them often. I think about Jay and Jack, and Carol and so many others who don't check in often. And now Jacob. As you all have noticed, I check in here often. I moved down here four years ago. Didn't know a soul. Have many dear friends in Wyoming and Minnesota. Miss all of them so much. I pretty much know this is what drives my fondness for OKGW--I have found a community of like-minded souls that has filled the emptiness in my heart for my other friends (many of whom I still visit, virtually, or because they come visit, or because I make trips and see them.) But it came about because every time I had a gardening question to figure out, 9 times out of 10, the Google results pointed me here. And rightly so. Speaking of that, I am going to Minnesota in June. I haven't been back for nearly 2 years now. I am so excited. We had two very important life events come up in Dec. 2017. One granddaughter graduating June 7, another getting married on June 9. What were the chances. I didn't even realized it until about 2 months ago. When it finally hit me, I talked it out with GDW. As we saw it, the only option was for me to go to Mpls, and for him to go to the wedding near here. It's good, in that he'll be here to take care of the cats and dog and garden. It'll be good for me, as I'll be visiting many close friends up there. AND I get to see my revered and precious beauticians, who will fix my hair! (LOL, they have become very close friends of mine outside of the hair stuff.) Nevertheless, I'm kind of sad about it. I would so much prefer that he and I were there for both. This is certainly not a post before driving to OKC to see all of you. Well, maybe it is. I have so loved getting to know you all better, even if not in person, and will be so tickled to see you all....See MoreSpring Fling 2018 - the After Party
Comments (53)Yeah, yeah....it's the middle of JUNE, but....I have to say again that I really missed seeing you all this year! Miss ONE year and it's two in between - not good. Thanks to all for the notes and fun pics, and for plants brought to me by Lisa (some from Nancy, some from....who knows?) :) Next year it seems I need to get in on some Heidi action! Next year....it will be here before you know it! Sharon...See MoreSpring Fling 2021
Comments (11)Rebecca, the original pavilion I rented was much easier to get to, nicer restrooms and better parking. Unfortunately the weather encouraged us to postpone. That forced us to move to the alternate location. It was nice enough, but without Jen’s help (signs), I’m not sure everyone would have found it!...See MoreOklaMoni
