Morning all,

Got my car back yesterday afternoon. I had to have both brake lines replaced from front to back... $329.00. Then went and did several errands. A new Home Depot opened opened yesterday..about 10 minutes drive away. I was there at 4pm..but they weren't opening till 6 pm. I have to go back out today to pick up some prescriptions so I will go and check out our new HD.

Betty..love your outfits..and the fact they are mix and match..you could just pack those things and be ready for a trip.
Are they all from the same maker..the flowers look the same shape.

Ruby..great idea about saving your coins for your grandchild. I love the way you said you hubby is "not one to come up off his money". I haven't heard that phrase before and I love it! I am one who doesn't like to come up off her money either LOL.

Judy..they say roses need at least 6 hours of sun a day to bloom. So I would cut them back to about 8-12" in the spring. Dig around the root ball, and plant them where they will get some sun. There is all kinds of info in the Roses forum. I used to hang out there. I have since gotten fed up with my roses I am tired of fighting the rabbits and the insects eating them..and lack of water etc.
Last year I had about 18 roses..I would get really pretty pictures of them close-up. I decided this fall not to protect them..and let only the strongest survive. I have about 5 that are hardy here from the Explorer series. Joseph's Coat is a rose I have always admired.
This one is "Candelabra" a Grandiflora rose

Have a great day..
Carol
