There was once a young girl who said: “Why

Can’t I look in my ear with my eye?

If I put my mind to it

I’m sure I can do it.

You never can tell till you try.”

The Round Robin package arrived today. I just brought it in from the mailbox.

I will go through it while watching MARCH MADNESS on the tube in the next few hours!!

My plan is to mail tomorrow.....hopefully!! Next stop is Ruth!

I will post after I send with DC #.

MARCH MADNESS.....Any college basketball fans here?? I have two brackets going....I have Houston to win it all on # 1 and Gonzaga to win it all on # 2...LOVE MARCH MADNESS!! Always quite a few surprises, which, to me, makes it sweeter, funner and certainly more exciting, even if I dont win...haha!

Happy Eve kids....

Annie

Glad the package arrived safe and sound. Ruth, it won't be long until you pass it on to Melinda.

Here's two additional Bingo words:

Feast Folklore

Tradition O Danny Boy

Limerick for the day:

An oyster from Kalamazoo

Confessed he was feeling quite blue.

For he said, "As a rule

When the weather turns cool

I invariably end up in a stew."

Ruth, something has come up and I have to leave very early in the morning. So, I am sending the RR via priority....to be picked up here at my house in the AM (FRI). If I don't get it out of here tomorrow, chances are it will not leave until Mon or Tues....so I would rather spend a little more $$ to get it moving.

Ruth, here is your USPS tracking # 9405 5036 9930 0503 0342 66...delivery hopefully Monday.

I took out 3 packets of seeds (inc 1 bonus pack). I did put quite a few seeds in the small priority box inc some bonus packs....hope that is OK Carol.

We are all trying to keep shipping costs down, so don't worry....First Class Shipping will work for all of you. I am simply trying to keep this baby on the move....simply a convenience for me.

Happy Friday!!

Annie

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Sounds good Annie!

Looking forward to getting the RR.

Bingo words for today:

Pinch Blarney Stone

Stall the Ball Craic

So happy to hear the announcement of yesterday being the first day of spring. I've had enough of winter.

At times I’m so mad that I’m hopping.
My angriness sets my veins popping.
I yell and I curse,
With swear words diverse,
But my wife does much worse: she goes shopping.

Nice one Annie!

Here's today's Bingo words:

Balbriggan Shillelagh

Green Corned Beef

Just making a comment that no one signed up to be hostess for April. I'm going to take it on, but it will be a certain theme (CLEAN AND GREEN) with one game and no swap. Hope you will join in and post to it. I sure miss having our discussions and games when there is a month with nothing planned. I'm also signed up for May. Hope some of our members we haven't seen recently show up to help out with our summer swaps since there is no one signed up for several months after May - or maybe someone can add themselves to the Hostess list another time. Members who have been away for some time, we miss you!

Very gloomy this morning but the sun is out now. I had to drop off my dog early today for a veterinary procedure so I'll be off to pick her up later in the day. The vet did call to let me know she is okay. Giving her time to get over the anesthesia.

CLEAN AND GREEN for the month of April sounds good!!

To the depth of my soul, I'm in love with life

Whether filled with joy or occasional strife

The good with the bad

Happiness and sad

Too bad we don't get to go around twice

Hello all! Received RRBox today! Haven't opened yet as spent day at hospital with my dgt. Who is very ill. But I will go through it in a few, finish up with it and get mailed back out to ShirleyShirley in the morning!

Great to hear the April theme has been chosen and that the RR is moving smoothly and quickly!

Here's another limerick:

There was a young lady of Lynn

Who was so uncommonly thin

That when she essayed

To drink lemonade

She slipped through the straw and fell in.

Bingo words for today:

Limerick Legend

March 17 Donnybrook

When Thunder roars

just stay indoors

sit real quiet

hold the fur babies tight

and listen to rain as it pours

Thought of this at 5 this morning when another storm was rolling thru

Love your limerick, Ruth!

Melinda, prayers and thoughts for your loved one. I hope she feels much better soon.

Thanks Jeanne! She is getting some better. Been here since 15th. If they can take chest tube out, we might go home first of next weel! We will see!

I did mail RR box to Shirley this morning.

#9505 5120 2396 3083 4087 79

I removed 2 flowers and 2 bonuses.

I replaced with 7 packs of seeds.

Have great weekend all!

Wonderful limerick Ruth!

Melinda thanks for the quick turn around! Shirley here it comes; it's your turn.

There once was a fly on the wall,

I wonder why didn't it fall?

Because its feel stuck? Or was it just luck?

Or does gravity miss things so small?

Today is national Medal of Honor day:

Here's some fun facts about it:

National Medal of Honor Day on March 25th recognizes all Medal of Honor recipients. The Medal of Honor is the highest military award for valor in the United States and was created in 1861.

#MedalOfHonorDay

On March 25, 1863, Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton presented the first Medals of Honor (Army) to six members of “Andrews Raiders” for their volunteering and participation during an American Civil War raid in April of 1862.

I'm a veteran, my dad is a veteran,, I'm married to a veteran, and both of my sons are still active. This hits close to home for me.

Can't wait to hear you've received the package Shirley!

Have a good day everyone!

My Helleborus are so beautiful

Carol will let you know when the pkg arrives.

Congratulations on your Family being Veterans. My Dad, Brother and Son all served.

Carol, thank you for your service.

I hope everyone is okay following all these storms. We've had rain, thunder and lightning and I think more ahead but nothing like some other states have gotten.

I admit I got confused about Bingo. I only selected some of the words because it didn't make sense to me otherwise so forget me on the win! Someone else will get it.

Beautiful flower pictures. My red azaleas are just starting to bloom and I have daffodils still in bloom because I planted them so late. It's kind of nice to have daffodils in bloom late in March. Some years I don't have any in bloom after February.

Wishing everyone a good week.

Thanks Shirley!

Here's today's Bingo words:

Received the pkg. yesterday and have it in the mail today. Jeanne enjoy with all these glorious seeds. I took flowers and hope to have some beautiful blooms this year.

Carol close on Bingo so MAYBE? That Blueberry Cheesecake looks yummy. I love all cheesecakes.

Well, it looks like my post yesterday didn't stick.

Congratulations Shirley!

So glad to hear the Round Robin is still in motion. Jeanne, can't wait to hear you've received it!

I didn't get any mail at all today and that seldom happens. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow since Shirley and I are in the same state.

Delivered, In/At Mailbox

Jeanne I just tracked it and it says it was delivered so hope so. Have a blessed day.

It's here! It's here! I had to open the envelope before I came online to post this. There are so many seeds - won't count but I am guessing over 200 packets of seeds. Thanks for including the sweet card, Shirley. I will go through them and send them on their way on Monday. I'll post a picture before I send it on its way. Thank you to everyone for what you added to the robin. There is such a variety of seeds.

Corrected on the number, once I took the time to do a rough count, there we more likely about 75-80 packs of seeds. Anyway, that is a LOT!

Did we finish Bingo? I am sure most people only needed 1 or 2 words!

Yes, ma'am! Shirley called Bingo a little while ago,

Jeanne, so excited to hear the package arrived. Let me know when you're ready to pass it on.

Thanks everyone!

Thanks! I missed that! Congrats Shirley! Lots of fin this month! Thank you!

Carol, is the quote below, the BINGO call from Shirley??? LOL...LOL....LOL....never occurred to me that was a BINGO call.

"Carol close on Bingo so MAYBE? That Blueberry Cheesecake looks yummy. I love all cheesecakes."

Congrats Shirley!!

Carol, thanks for a fun month!!

OMG Carol so sorry you thought I called Bingo. I was saying I was close so maybe I would get Bingo with the next ones you called.

Well then, do we need to continue? I haven't sent the gift pack yet....

Carol, it seems someone must be very close to winning so if you are able to do it, I would draw some more words and post them. Just my opinion.

I did take a picture of the seeds that were left once I selected some and this is before I added the packs from me. I did a rough count and think there are about 75 packs of seeds. (When I first saw it I exaggerated by saying 200 --- the envelope was thick and jam packed.) Anyway, lots of seeds and a good variety. I wrote down what I removed and will post it when I have the list in hand. You'll also see the cute card that Shirley made for me. People were very generous in adding bonus packs.

The package will be going in the mail tomorrow.

I hope everyone has a good week.

Just wanted to let you know what seeds I removed from the package: leek, oregano, basil, chamomile, daisy, salvia, squash, lettuce, sage, dill, marigold, sunflower, okra, kale, garlic chives, pepper, tomato. I know several people added "bonus seeds" and I will do that as well as those I purchased. Heidi had sent many in the round robin we did last year and I will include some of those. Off it goes to Carol!

Thanks for your input Jeanne!

What a great picture of the Robin's contents!

Anyone else want to pipe up what they've enjoyed from the package? I'd love to see/hear more.

Okay. Here are two additional Bingo words.

Celtic Emerald Isle

Festivals Erin go Bragh

PLEASE review the list(s) that you all have sent.

Let's see who can get this wrapped up, so there is no further confusion.

BINGO.........BINGO!!

Wonderful Annie!

I'll send the gift your way.

Jeanne, do you have a delivery confirmation number for tracking?

We're FINALLY getting above freezing for a few days this next week. Sigh of relief.

I'm so so ready for some warm weather.

Yes, I have the delivery confirmation. I don't have the receipt with me (computer is upstairs), it's downstairs, but I'll try to remember to send the information to you tomorrow. Thanks so much for being our hostess this month!

Sending the tracking number to you in a message, Carol. Hope you've had a good day. It is in Montana so hopefully tomorrow.

Package arrived safe and sound Jeanne!

Thank you to everyone who participated! What a beautiful blend of lovely things to plant!

Glad it arrived there okay. Happy Planting and Happy Easter!
