| Hi All, Where the heck has everyone been? Seems everyone(including always forgetful me) missed Carol's birthday. I caught that all her children had a party with her on the newbie thread. I had a very nice day yesterday. I went to the casino to have lunch with my father, brother and his girlfriend, and his mother. We didn't gamble. She works at the casino and gets a discount. I sold my brother my old truck. I had held on to it, and my father fixed it all. He used to be a drag racer. Then I went out to Lewiston for gas on the Indian reservation. I had to go visit a couple nurseries out that way, lol. The one had really cool new cultivars, but oh my the prices! It was nice to look. Then I went out to another green house, but the do carry some nice perennials. Well, they were having a buy one get one free sale! I picked up 4, gallon, pots, including a monkshood. It was the last one left. I was excited about that, because I had one but my dog killed it last year. Then in the evening, my store dept. had a bowling party. I didn't bowl, but it was fun to go out with everyone outside of work. I am going to miss working with them all. Trina, Talk to you all later, |

| Thank you all again for the condolences. The funeral is Thursday so we will be leaving tomorrow to go up there (to Okla). I dread the drive and am already ready to be home. We will be coming home on Friday or Saturday though, depends on the flip of the coin. I start a new job on Monday so I am pulling for Friday. Deb, I hope you got the email about the box. I really am worried about the stress I put on the plants as I packed them, you will see when you unpack the box. Annie, Thank you and girlie girl you just tell me when you need barrels of rain water and I will ship you some from "Fox" Lake (our backyard!!!). We had 4" yesterday and 2" today, not that I am complaining, WAITTT yes I ammmm, tired of the rain here in Houston! I can say its helping the grass and my mud (not "MUD" my dog). Ya'll have a great week full of rain and sunshine where its needed. |

| I did a trade with Trina, and her boxes are fantastic! She packs everything perfectly and has very healthy looking plants! Not one plant looked stressed in the box! Everything was labeled by name, wrapped very well. Trina has my recommendation to join the group! I've been talking with her through email too, and she's really such a nice person! Deb |

| trina, please email me and i'll be happy to send you the questionnaire. also ladies, we have another new member - her name is sandy and she goes by the name shadymeadow. please welcome her as well. once i have everyone's completed questionnaire, i'll be distributing them. also, CAROL MOVED, so please update her address, she's only posted it about 18 times. ihave the worst &*^%^&*( case of poison ivy, worse than i've ever had in my life. if you saw me, you would think i was from another planet, or a horror movie. i can't do a freakin thing, because clothes aren't all that compfortable, so i'm stuck in the house, staring out the window at blooms i should be photographing and scraping wallpaper off the spare room. it's been painted over, so it's a total PITA to get off. so far i've wet the walls and scraped what i could, i purchased a steamer, and that sucks and today i used DIF, and that's not working real well either. i've decided to totally remake my house, room by room and i plan on doing every bit of it and then i'll probably drop dead. sad news in my family. my neice, who got married in april, her husband just learned he has a very rapidly spreading cancer - he doesn't have a long life ahead. my sister, who has had major heart problems, stents, angio and all that other stuff that goes along with it, was just hospitalized for chest pains and they had to do some other procedure and my BIL's mom is on her way out with lung cancer. when it rains it pours. on a positive note, the baby just turned one. her birthday celebration is pushed ahead a few weeks until this grandmom's poison ivy clears up. and the fake dil is up to her mental nonsense again. okay, enough blabbering, i'm itchy as all that and can't use anything to stop it due to allergic reactions to the ingredients in those products. NEW GIRLS, get your Q's back as soon as possible. i thought i was posting all this on august, so hopefully they will see. sue, i saw that plaque remy sent, that is totally neat,i love it. be well |

| Susie-So glad you liked the daylilies. Hope you have tons of blooms next year. Your Dad sounds like so much fun and he has it made you taking care of him and all. You are definetely a special lady. I did receive my plant book and can't wait to sit down some rainy day and read it. I love those kind of books and you always learn something you didn't know. Maryanne-I feel for you I get that stuff every year. One thing though it has never gotten on my face just body, arms and legs. The best thing you can do is take the hottest shower ever when it gets unbearable. The hot shower is the only way I can sleep without scratching all night. It helps to dry it up too. Sorry to hear about all the bad news with your family. Keeping you and your family in my prayers. God Bless you all during all this. I cannot believe little punkin is one year old. Where does time go. Sheesh, it was only awhile back that she was born. Post pictures of the party I want to see her. Remy-You just made my day with the great Christmas box you sent. You sure know how to make someone happy. I loved the Christmas wrapping, card and everything. Where did you find all the Christmas goodies this time of year? Remy sent: Carol had my name but Remy says they switched names. Yes it was a surprise when I saw who the box was from. I thought I had forgot a trade or something. Thanks Remy you're the best. Shirley |

| Hi all, Maryanne, I just emailed you for the questionaire, I will return it asap. Like Melissa, am also very excited to become a member of this group! Your family will be in our prayers also. I am also sorry about the poison Ivy YUCKIE, I am one of the fortunate ones that is not allergic to it by all my boys can stand far away from the stuff and the wind will blow it on them and they are covered bad in itchies! I feel for you. We use a stuff called CalaGel by Oaks-N-Ivy, its clear and really helps the itch and dries it quickly. Wal-mart carries it. |

| I'm butting in here, I know... :O) But I had a horrible case of poison Ivy on my arms last month, also. I had decided to remove 300+ ditch lilies from along our road, and in the middle of that was poison ivy & poison oak. So by pulling that up by the roots also, I had it from my ears to my belly button. Big horrible blisters, and my arms swelled so big .. I had to wear tank tops, which just made it worse... ANYWAY, nothing was working. I tried all the home remedies, EVERYTHING, and then a co-worker told me to try Jewelweed salve. There's a place on Ebay that sells it, it's $7.95 (includes shipping). The sellers name is Jewelweed44, Go to their store, they also have soaps. They ship out very quickly too, within a day or 2. (which feels like forever when you're suffering!) It can also be used to prevent breaking out, just put some on before you work out side, and remember to wash it off and reapply when you get back in. Now that I've butted in...I'll back out. lol :O) |

Just wanted to say hello to you all & let y'all know I have to drop out of the OBF group. I just have too many commitments on my time, energy & funds these days to be a good player/swap pal. You've all been wonderful to play & swap with and I hope we can still do some individual swaps occassionally. If I have time & such, I'll check to see if you gals have any "open" RRs posted (if & when!) as it happens. ;p Email me if you want and hope everyone is doing well and having a wonderful summer! (Yep, that jewelweed works great for poison ivy!!) Anyhow, best of the best to all you lovely ladies!!! |

Now its both knees. I cant hardly walk. i spend most of the time sitting with them straight out supported by a pillow. and to top it off my stupid self tried to remove some brush 2 weeks ago from at edge of our woods. There went the back too. Dr did blood work today. I get results in coulple days. he thinks i have an infection in my joints or the rheumatoid arthritis is majorly flaring up.

| Sue, don't think I included the name or photo, but I'll get it to you, they are like triple blossoms, very top heavy, take my word for it, plant them very deep, you'll think they won't come up, because they're so deep, they will! I've suffered for years with these popping up and falling into the dirt when they bloom, this past year they didn't. But had to wait till the foliage died back to go dig them up. Are those the biggest daffodil bulbs you've ever seen? LOL, they're MONSTERS!!!!!!!!!! Hope you enjoy, I'll send you a pic and a name! Also, thats not all of your hostess gift, other will be sent with your daylily box which is going out tommorrow (Friday) so you should have it on Monday. (Ok, its NOT a daylily, but something you want! Wonder what? LOL, have fun wondering!!!!!!!!!!!! HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! in July! LOL (Well when a girls got a bed ready something needs to sleep in it!!!) *giggles* They are soaking they're little footies right now and will be packed up first thing! Hope you like! I was able to add some you asked for and some you didn't, but I think you'll be happy. After you get them, I'll send you pics of the blooms from my garden. (Don't want to spoil the surprise!) I have them tagged/named for you. I'm so excited! I hope you like them! Hugs! |
|
| Kimberly, I'm sorry to here you are having such problems with your knees. I'm glad that your husband is being a sweetie and helping you : ) Annie, Carol, Have a good night everyone, |
|
| Kim, if I remember right, I'm your receiving partner. I'm telling you, please don't feel stressed to get a box out to me, actually, I will be really upset if you hurt yourself worring about a stupid box. You take care of yourself, when your knees are better send it when you can. Enough said! You just worry about taking care of yourself! Girl my knees are going too, runs down a long line of women in my family, I dread it, but it almost on me, my Mom had a knee replacement and they had to go back in, now they're waiting for that one to heal so they can do the other knee. Not looking forward to it. Feel better, |

| received a very nice Hostess Gift from carol today carol daddy said thank you for the DAd"s GARDEN Plant Stake going to put it in the planter on the front porch , & for my gifts :)) she sent me A Vanilla Gingerbread scented candle well daddy is waiting for me to fix supper going to be lite tonight very warm out & to hot to turn on the stove :)) RECEIVED HAVE NOT RECEIVED |
|
| SueG I'm glad you liked everything, maybe your dd will let you borrow her eye gel mask, lol. I hate our little bee got broken, dang it, thought it was too cute. I'm so embarrassed, I realized less than an hour after that box shipped that I had forgotten your Christmas ornament, I'm so sorry. And I would have wrapped stuff in Christmas paper but, with moving last spring, it all went in the trash, for me at that time, it was easier than something else to take care of and move. I need one of those containers for wrapping paper. Anyway, hope you enjoy. SueK, your box was shipped today full of plants! The daylilies are part of our trade, the other surprises are part of your hostess gift for this swap. Enjoy! Here's the UPS confirm # 1z6408w10357017920 Its not showing much right now, but I'm sure she sent it 2 day so you'll get in on Monday. When you receive the box, I'll send you pics from my garden so you can keep track, lol, you gotta tell me how you like my idea for 'plant labeling'. Hey when you're out of tags you make up what you have to that works! Hope everyone has a good weekend, we're getting a little rain right now, god we need it so desperately. I'm praying it doesn't stop for a while. Then tommorrow, it'll be back to 100 and burning everything to death like usual. Later girls........ |

| Susie, Sounds like you have your work cut out for you; yard sales are a lot of work. I don't know if you got my last couple of e-mails, but I want to thank you for the box of goodies you sent me yesterday, and Dh had them soaking for me. DH went for an ultra sound on his thyroid this morning. I hate the waiting game, but got good news, the blood tests came back ok that he had done on Monday so that is a +. Missed Chatting with you this past week, |
