Hey, the quote thingy didn't work.

Morning Dusty and Tamara!!!!

I usually do my quotes the hard way.....copy what I want from someones post....then hit the quote box in the reply form and paste it between the quote thingys.....

Sunshine is great...mom just called to see if I wanted to go shopping later with her and dad........Hmmmm, me, shop???? LOL

Morning all,
Well I am alone for the moment- kids won't be here till 9:30... last I talked to Carrie- the baby was some better- they managed to get all the meds down him but wasn't easy- helped though.. now the 3 yr old is getting a cold too- never ends! I sure hope they all get over it before next Sun- have the twins birthday party...planned for around 5 that afternoon- after everyone home from work...
Well off to get ready-
Nana

GOOOOOOOOOD MORNING ALL!!!

I just came back inside from 2 1/2 glorious hours of cleaning up flower beds, finding spring bulbs starting to bloom, and cutting back a butterfly bush. From that 1 bush, I then planted 25 cuttings about 2-3 feet long, along the rock wall at the bottom of our backyard. If even only a few take root I'll be ecstatic! Better than just trashing them, right?

It's still only about 35 degrees out there, but the sun is shining strongly, and it's supposed to be up near 50 later.

I worked up a good sweat outside, and will shower after I clean up downstairs for Amy's flute teacher. I can tell I overextended the first time out, but it HURTS SO GOOD!!!


(note to self... do not EVER take cold meds before going to bed because you REALLY REALLY know you are going to be wired alllllllll night long!!!) :p

My drip has stopped though, and I'm feeling much better today - YEA!

How's everyone doing today?

Well, Old Reliable wouldn't start this morning. Teddy and I walked the quarter mile plus to his bus stop. It isn't a battery thing. I'm hoping it's something simple. I don't think I drove it all weekend.

Hey Lynne...I'm heading out soon to cut down what's left of the hydrangeas.....usually I do that in the fall, but I slacked last year. :rolleyes: It's so nice and sunny too....not really warm but oh well, I'll just bundle up a bit!

Good Morning Nana and Lynne..

Sounds like a wonderful start to your day Lynne..

Ill be leaving here in about 2 hours to drive over to the VA hospital to spend the day, and again tomorrow..Jim has a 2 day Chem Stress Test. While hes doing that , Ill be visiting the Spinal Cord Injury unit with my Therapy Dog.

That is cool, Dusty. A friend wanted me to adopt her therapy dog a while back. To be friends to Ted. And because she was heavy into her rescue dog training. We weren't ready for another dog yet.

Well, I'm off to feed my foster dogs. I'll be back.

hi dusty, tina, nana, lynne and anyone else i missed-

What a wonderful thing to do with your day too, Dusty! What kind of dog is the therapy one? I think it's such a good thing to bring furry lives into those who are ill - really takes their minds off of things for a bit, and offers unconditional love.

loz - what are you shopping for today?

Tina - was the walk ok?

morning Penny!

Morning Penny

Tess is the German Shepherd ..Shes the one I trained to assist Jim..I got her certified through TDI (Therapy Dogs Inc)and she always goes to the VA with us .. The guys in SCI just love her..

Hey there Penny and Tina!

I'm shopping today at a place called Gabriel Brothers....they have brand name stuff really cheap....cheaper than TJ Maxx....It's a no thrills store...but huge. And they have a great household section that gets in outdoor stuff in the spring.

Moms gotta take her Matrix to the dealership for a service, and we walk over while they work on her car.

hi Laura and Dusty...

thanks again for the address last week Laura, i got them mailed to her so i can get my surprise package too

i have never heard of gabriels before, i need to get across the border to do some shopping, clothes are so much cheaper then they are here

I actually drove the golf cart over to feed the dogs. I do enough hiking up and down my hills doing the gardening. I'm going to borrow my daughters car to get my shopping done today. If she's amenable.

G'Morning all!
Keith mowed the lawn! It's only about a 12X18' patch, that we planted way last spring, but it was pretty abundant & some of the glass types that I don't like were starting to flower-up, so it was time. I wish that "extra" stuff would die off, cuz it's not the type I want to have in my "lawn"... but it also has a traveling root structure that weed & feed doesn't even kill. Oh well, at least it's green! (Plus, it was nice to see Keith out of the recliner!!) :p

I'm glad that you felt good enough to get outside & putter around, Lynne, & I hope you continue to improve. Maybe you can get some more stuff done out there after your appointments this morning.

The Sun is out & not many clouds, so Mariann & I will be out there cleaning up flower beds today. I've been waiting to do that, all Winter!

as the week goes on the weather is supposed to warm up and i am hoping to get some fertilizer down then, they are calling for +14 here on thursday and friday, i hope so!~!

Mornin Penny, Lynnie, Dusty and Tamara..(I probably missed somebody, sorry)

Went to the storage building...took one look at the boxes and shut the door..NO WAY am I gonna dig through that stuff today!!! So, I am going to TRY to make frosting with my hand mixer...will probably burn it up doing so but..I am not weeding through all those boxes!
It is VERY cloudy here, getting ready to rain..I am so ready for some sunny days!


~V~

Patty...see why I don't usually list names...I ALWAYS forget who is here.......

~V~

Me too, Vanessa. That's why I start ou hi all.

same, or you type the names you see and post it and then someone else pops in a few seconds later

Let me see... +14C is almost 58F, so it looks like you might be officially getting into spring... It's about time, huh? I've already bought the fertilizer for the new lawn, but I'm not sure when it'll be time to put it on. (When I bought it, about 6 weeks ago, somebody told me it was too soon.) Guess I better look it up. I wonder what makes it "too soon".
