Whoooo wooo! Somebody lock up my credit card! We're going to a nursery! I just am so excited Carolann! PJ

PJ, I know what you mean.

Well, the results are in. After meeting Jolana I can definately say that she's a real Goober. I gave her a basket of goodies and she cried.

But you know what....I love Goobers.

We had a really good time together.
I made some Texas sweet tea and made sure I didn't pull a stunt like Jac did and forget the sugar. (thanks for telling me your story Jac) but then I totally forgot to give Jolana a glass of it and we went straight to Babes House of Chicken then to Weston Gardens where we hooked up with PJ and her boys.
We shopped for plants and walked the gardens with non-stop talking and laughing. I'll post pictures in a little while.

Jolana is the same funny, sweet person we all know on GW and what fun we had.

Jolana, I'm coming to see you next.

I'll come with if at ALL possible! Jolana is the sweetest person! I so grateful to know both of you classy,classy ladies! I had such a great time! PJ

AAWWWWW, I just told DH the same about y'all. She did forget my tea, lol but took me to the best restaurant that I've been to in a LONG time. It was like eating at your Grandmothers. It was really good. I am so glad that I went, Carol's gardens are as beautiful as she is.
I also got to meet PJ's kiddos and and they are so sweet and handsome and Pj is not a brat in person, well not as big a one, lol and y'all already know she's beautiful, you've seen her pic and read her posts

Jolana, I have more tea in the fridge. Come on over....lol

It was fun calling you Goober in person!!! hehehe

More for you, lol The BOX of Goobers is priceless, lol

LOL! You two are still going! Y'all could start doing a comedy! How funny. PJ

You came here in search of plant answers and found dear friends. All of you have a spectacular sense of humor - I'll bet you had passersby shaking their heads and laughing! Congratulations on a day well spent!

I am so jealous...I want to retire so I can visit..LOL
I am sooo glad that ya'll got togather and had so much fun. I am really looking forward to the pictures. PJ, carolann how close do ya'll live to each other?

Dena

Jac and Dena, maybe we can all meet up somewhere one day.
PJ lives about 20 minutes from me.

Friends are more important than plants but having friends that share your love for plants is the best.

I'll post pics.

Uhhhh, you better send them to me first bcause of that one with the mulch guy, lol
I need to see it first

Jolana, you know I wouldn't post the one of you with the mulch guy.

What happens in Joshua, stays in Joshua.

What happens in Joshua (Mexico), stays in Joshua.

At least I know it's safe for us girls to go to Mexico without our fellas. You already know the mantra!

LOL, hot dog baby...let's go!!!
I think that's where the mulch guy was headed, hehehehe

We will definetely have to plan that one day, and I know jeanne lives out in my area.
Hmmmm mulch guy huh?? and pictures too???
jac you are the one that said you are posting pictures so that means that what happens in Joshua stays in Joshua and GW...lol..Now Mexico..that would be a different story..lol!!
Dena

Jo's playing like the mulch guys in Mexico.

I saw some feet hanging out of the back of Jolanas SUV when she drove off.

They looked like the mulch guys shoes.
I think she snuck off with my mulch guy.

You're all so pretty!! :):):)

Isn't it strange to know someone over a computer??? If you'd told me that a few years ago I wouldn't have believed it!!!
OMG! I can so tell I was trying not to laugh in that pic! PJ

It was hard wasn't it??? I laughed so hard and so much yesterday my facial cheeks were aching lastnight, lol

Three amigos, three muses, three fates, three sirens...ah yes, the three sirens.
The enchantress (Thelchtereia), the seductress (Alaope) and she with the glorious face (Peisinoe).
Our beautiful garden sirens, luring the mulch guy to their hammocks!

It's a wonderful picture of three friends sharing a fabulous day. Y'all look gorgeous!

Yep Dena, the Goobers Three.

I like Jacs names better. LOL

Ok, who told Jac about us luring the mulch guy into the hammock?

We were all talking so much that Jolana forgot to fill her pockets with seeds. lol

What a waste of those big pockets.

Hehehe, I bet the brat spilled the beans, lol

Who says I didn't get seeds, lol

Jac, I like your names and description better also, lol sorry Dena, lol

Dena

Dena, your names are factual, we like pretend, LOL

Hey....speak for yourself Goober Girl. LOL

Hehehe, seeeee, takes one to know one...factual, lol

Okay, you guys - I am so jealous - what a good time you must have had. Of course, the fact that I was winging my way to Paris and points beyond will take the sting out a little. I am now in Fiumicino - a small town near Rome. The trip has been great so far, and tomorrow we head for the villa in Tuscany to meet up with the rest of the family. I miss reading all the news from you guys, so DH let me on the internet this afternoon for awhile. Take care and I will be bugging you again in June.

Wow, what a fun trip. You and Linda have been on some fun trips this year.

Gosh, Carrie in Paris and Rome and Linda went to Hawaii.

And here I thought I was really going somewhere when I took my trip to Fredericksburg. lol

Carrie, I hope you have fun and a safe trip.
~Carol

Godspeed! PJ

I forgot all about this.

Hehehehe, I love that photo we had so much fun that day
I laughed till I hurt, lol
That was such a cool place

Just one pic? That's all you got? geez.....and you used the plural.

Rick, that was last year
The pics from this year are in Discussions under Carol's swap thread
Behave yourself or you might get another plunk on the head, LOL

Here is a link that might be useful: PictureS

Hah. I have my hard hat on, 'cause I knew that was coming. (smile)

I remember that! It was hot but all the gorgeous flowers made it worth it! We were talking about the merits of mullein as toilet paper if I remember correctly! LOL!PJ

Care to list them, PJ????

Good memories.

Please don't squeeze the Charmin uh...er...Mullein.

Mullein is NOT in the cactus family LOL! I think that was the jist of the whole conversation...UG!(I HATED that commercial) Do you realize your grandkids will have no idea what your talking about? "Squeeze the charmin??? Why grandma?"

Oh Carrie we went to Weston's Demonstration gardens and of course the nursery, lol
It was fun, all I can tell you is, they didn't have any passion flowers, lol
