    Happy Thanksgiving and I hope everyone creates their own fantastically awkward moments by talking about plumerias at the dinner table with relatives who don't get it.

    I am looking forward to visiting Cali next summer!! Thanks for all of the smiles that you all put on my face!! Desserts? OHHHH yes!!! Boat rides? ;-)

    I hope you all had wonderful day with your family and or loved ones!!!

    The thought of all of us talking about our trees made me laugh... Well, it did come up at my dinner this evening!! The large Kap is still near the dining table and it was brought up that my grandson will soon start climbing it.. I piped up and said, " oh no... ". Then it started. LOL.

    Take care!!!

    Just wondered, has anyone that brings their trees inside ever turned it into the decorated Christmas tree? roxanne

    Laura, guilty as charged. I didn't intend to, but I did end up passing my phone around the table with pics of my nieces making leis for themselves and the dogs this summer. Hard to resist.

    And Roxanne, I still have a few trees in the sunroom that I brought in in the hopes that they would continue blooming into Cristmas, especially some reds (Hilo Beauty, Scott Pratt and Theodora Crimson). If they stop blooming, I may just put some lights and ornaments on them for decoration.

    I'm so disappointed I didn't get a chance to bore any relations with plant talk. Too many screaming children and too much good food to distract from conversations.

    George, do you mean to decorate your plumies like this?

    Hi Manuel.. So nice to see you!! Thank you for the Thanksgiving wish back!!

    We had a small family dinner. Including the new grandson who is such a cutie !!! He loved my Carrot Soufflé and ate everything that I made. What a smart young man!!

    Sounds like you are keeping the blooms going and keeping them warm in Florida. Even your Confetti? I can't wait to see pictures? You always do a great job with your plants!! Always a pleasure, my friend!!! MAHALO!!!

    I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday!!!

    Thanks to all that stopped by...

    " Goodnight Gracie.."

    Laura, the dogs did get some turkey- not that they deserved it! There I was at the party with my phone, showing pics of the plumies, when I decided to check on the dogs (cameras at home, one retired from the Bill Moragne tree). I looked at the first camera - my big dog was sleeping by the front door. I remarked he looked like an angel, resting so peacefully. Then I checked on the second camera.

    I had just purchase a big container of paper towel rolls the night before. Apparently the dogs had dragged it across the house, opened it and used it to teepee the living room. Not one roll was left intact. Not one part of the living room was without left unadorned.

    Of course, that's the live video everyone at the table passed around, laughing. "Still think he's an angel?" I was asked. In my defense, I said he "looks like an angel" not that he was one - we all know looks can be deceiving, lol. Is there a reform school for dogs?

    I don't think I'll leave them alone next Thanksgiving.

    Well Simi...our dogs are not much better...all the toilet paper rolls are ripped off and on the beds in shreds and they take laps around the black suede couches. I have duct tape and balloons for that. Well matched balloons for the decor....cobalt of course....... :-) roxanne (glad they had fun though)

    Happy Cyber Monday!
    Our dog is not allowed to be alone unless she`s outside. She ate the couch. Luckily I did not like that couch.
    Tally HO!

    Oh, that's funny, George! I mean, I'm sure it wasn't funny for you at the time but I can see the dogs giggling to themselves as they papered your living room, LOL!

    My little helper was putting lights on the trees within minutes of them coming inside, like he'd been waiting to pounce. I don't know why that other photo didn't post.

    Yep, we get up to all kinds of fun with plumeria :)

    Hope everyone had a great day and didn't eat too much (like that could happen). We were negotiating on the house on Thanksgiving. Yep we bought it on Thanksgiving. Poor agents had to man the phones that day to make it happen. Now all I've got to do is catch up on here. Peg
