Shirley - Diane has Alaska blood in her, so that's why it's not so cold to her! :wink:

I'm glad you got to walk around some more and take more pictures - can't wait to see them! I can imagine how lush everything is there, with the weather.

Will you be going to the falls today?

Diane - thanks for finding that tag - so glad to know the full name!
Unfortunately, my research shows that it is only hardy to zone 7.

Cedar Hill weather says it's currently 64 out there. I'd probably have on capris and flip flops. Capri's are great for that in between weather.

Oh Shirley, you'll LOVE the train--be sure to go to the observation car. Just be sure to take your purse with you. Your cases will all be fine. What station are you departing from? Everett? That's a nice station.

You'll have close to a 7 hour trip. Long enough to enjoy it, yet not so long that you'll be miserable in coach seating. The seats are great. Big and roomy, more so than a plane mom said. Be careful walking on the train, it's very shaky. If you get a coffee or something I'd sit in the snack car and drink it instead of trying to carry it back to your seat.

No Bubba's today? My personal fav. was that Fungus Among Us burger. If you go back and you love mushrooms try it.

Did she find any chips?

Hey a nap is okay.....your body needs the rest.

Cindy ........I am suprised your doing all that......With 2 friends.......

You have gumption......Keep it up.

we're on our way to Bubba's when we get back pictures /videos will be posted,, just didn't have time in between stops

oHHHHHHHH Lynne I found a good sized Blue Rock,, Thought of you instantly,, I'm going to see what I can leave behind so I can take it home.

Hey Diane - just SEND it to me!

I guess I could ............................................................ C.O.D. it only weighs about 10 lbs,,

FLAT RATE BOX???

Nice rock! Where'd ya find it?

Root beer Falls,,
Video...... standing on top of this bridge..

click here..

Great video Diane!!! I could even see the "rootbeer" color at the end of it when you walked across the bridge - wow!

another video after we went under the bridge,, Shirley was panning for gold







Big Foot ran Shirley off ,, He wasn't having anyone take his gold,

fantastic video--I really enjoyed it.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh NO

I found it at Rootbeer falls

Shirley says,,, Thanks for the advice Loz~

Love that picture of Bigfoot! You've really got the placement perfect!!!

Is bigfoot a friend of ours??????????????
He is so cute..

Bigfoot is a good pal of mine, you should've told him that you were my friends!

Tell Shirley, no problem.

Love the pics and video, makes me feel like I'm there all over again.

All good things must come to an end....
Glad one came when the other left..........march on Ladies and gent.

Been fun watchin .

Cindy...

Cindy you might suprise yourself........

This is the first day since I have been here that it has really been sunny all day and WARM!!!! That's besides getting finally getting to see the mountains.

I've seen so many pretty birds and flowers since I've been here.

I really had fun going to Root Beer Falls. Didn't find one little piece of gold though, at the spot I was looking in. But it made me miss my days of camping and gold panning like I did out in CA.

Loz, thanks a lot for your timely advise about train travel. I was so looking forward to eating in the dining car that I was aging to wear heels and everything (in case there was a nice looking man in there!!! LOL) but now I'll just wear jeans or something!!! And, I'll be very careful walking and carrying coffee.

Bubba's serves WAY too much food. AND, I think I'm going to have to go tackle that again after while.

I'll be glad when I get to put my photo's in my PC and edit them and put thme into Photo bucket, and put some of mine on here.

See you all later.

Shirley,

Glad you liked that place. YOu did look real nice in the photo by yourself.
Shouldn't have a hard time finding guys.......

LOL

Enjoy your train and we will wait for all the photos to pop up.

Shirley so glad you are enjoying yourself.---also so happy youy finally got a nice day.--good for you!!!

patiently waiting for photos

I finally got on here and just saw that Diane and Shirley are at CH! Well I see that Diane had to leave today. Shirley, I know you were looking forward to the day that you could make it there. I am sure you are enjoying yourself! I am excited for you!! Make the most of it and have fun! Enjoy your time with your son also. I have enjoyed looking at all the pictures. Can't wait to see more!!

Shirley, you can dress up if you want to! I was always just dressed for comfort...but go ahead...dress up! You still have so much more excitement to come with meeting up with your son and his family.

It's sad that Diane left today, but I'm sure there will be more visits in the future.

Hope you didn't overdo it with your walk in the woods Cindy......Is Leslie staying a while before you leave?

Sound great angelblossom.....

Glad you did get to enjoy a change of scenery......Hope your sneaks show up today........

Maybe you can borrow a friends..ha ha

Thanks for sharing all the talk and trip.

Diane--glad to hear you made it home safely.---And I hope yoyr shoes make it back in time for work.---Wouldn't you know it had to happen to you??/

I agree......Even shadow seemed Pleased..........An Lola too.

Your a kind person............
Thanks for the memories.....Diane..

Dang it DFW Still doesn't have my Luggage I called them back at noon,, with apologies and expressing sincere efforts to find my luggage from AA all I can do is wait,, I guess I'll go buy another pair of tennis shoes this afternoon


When I got off the plane last night at 10:45pm it was 91 degrees here I already miss the cooler weather at CH.

I have a lot more pictures to post when Shirley post her's once she gets back home,, and I don't know if Cindy will have time to post her's but I'm sure they will get on here eventually,

this is a picture of the three of us in the GH shirts Glenda made us.. Hopefully there'll be a closer one so you can see the lettering she put on the shirts,, our user names., appointed titles, and a gardenhelper.com ,



remember the bus from the bustop? It's still there



^ this bus may look like an eyesore to some people BUT to me it's one of the Icons from CH,
Beauty came from where it once stood

Love the purple in the last one.

You 3 look like happy school chums......
Nice indeed.

:ding:

Oh and one could not go there without seeing a gnome or two scampering about( you have to have a quick eye to see them they are fast moving if they think they are about to be seen moving around,,,, )
the exception is this one that welcomed us and greeted us at the door. watch his hand :wink:

At least they didn't lose your rocks!

Man, I can't believe the difference in CH from the time we were there. I hardly even recognized the bus stop. The flowers are everywhere! They were just starting to come up in March. How beautiful!

What a wonderful pic. It's nice to see a big smile on Cindy.

Diane, did they lose all your luggage?

I knowwwww right!!!!!!! Thank youuuuuuuu for talking me into mailing them





I only had 1 huge suitcase and a carryon,, the big suitcase is missing,, they said last night it was in Austin, today they said,, it went ,,, who knows where ,,, they emailed me proof it was in Austin last night and was directed to go to Dallas around 4 this morning,, it was sent out but not to Dallas,, went on wrong plane again it had all the clothes I took in it,, and prescription,, I went and got prescription refilled and bought shoes today , Hopefully it will show up tomorrow

That is sad........

Be glad it isnt you that is lost........
Welcome home.

Hoping it shows up real soon Diane...

I can't believe you really mailed rocks...

Rock of ages......I loved the blue one.

When we went to Iowa one year , we brought back dirt.LOL

Bill and Cindy must be wonderful Hosts......

Sharing all with you.
