To celebrate mother's day I went to the plant delight nursery open house today. Their display gardens are so pretty! I wish I could have had more time to stroll the gardens, but my 5 year old was ready to go 15 minutes after we got there :0( They had such an awesome selection of plants for purchase, but they're not really what I would call affortable you know. So I ended up only getting a canna pink sunburst and canna panache. I'm very excited about them both! Then on my way back home, I decided to stop by a nursery near by and found a ginger Dr Moy, canna orange punch and a dark leaf pink double flowering begonia. So I think I've already had a good mother's day no breakfast in bed required :0) Have a good weekend everyone!! Monica

Last year we got one of our friends REALLY GOOD!!! She is a KU fan and while the rest of us support K-State (and she is a bit of a pain about it - *lol*) Well, it took us almost a year to accumulate hundreds of purple and white plastic forks... While she was gone on a shopping trip to Wichita, we gathered at her home and in 2 foot letters, formed by sticking the forks into the lawn - we left a wonderful yahoo for K-Statecolor>size> Has been our best gag yet and it just happened to be April 1......... BTW - it took us 5 hours to do the sign at night by flashlight! But, you can't imagine how long it took to remove it! HA! HA! HA! HA! Jude!

Kelly, of course fresh black-eyed peas are better, like any bean/veggie is. But the Ranch Style peas are excellent. They're not a bean that's hard to like. I cook both fresh and use canned when I don't have time to simmer a pot all day. We have a fresh hamhock in the freezer that I'm saving for ham and pinto beans. Yum!

It was in January by these people: Improv Everywhere. They've done stuff all over the world. The GCT event was the first I'd heard of them.
