Well good evening everyone!

Liz, I'm so sorry to hear about your uncle.

Betty, is it snowing yet? Man, I cannot believe you're still getting storms. How long does your area keep the cold weather before spring starts kicking in? We had tremendous wind today. I know everyone in our neighborhood is missing roof tiles - us included.

I went this morning to get my hair cut and colored then hit the local garden center by me that was having a "spring blooming days". I had to buy myself a varigated Daphne Odora. They smell heavenly!!! I also bought a Lenten Rose (Helliborous). They also had some old perennials 50% off so I bought two 1 gal. ice plants - a yellow and orange one - for $4.50 each.

Once I got home, I spent the better part of the rest of the day starting the redecorating of the kid's bathroom. Step one was after taking everything off the walls and removing all the brackets, we had to prime the walls. The paint on the walls now was an aqua that would have shown thru the green going up. So we had to put on 2 coats. Still have to touch up the corners. Measured the shower and window for the curtains and may try to whip those up tomorrow in between painting.

OK, someone out there is really sneaky!! I got this box today with NO return address or post mark. How does that happen??? So my secret pal has struck! And whoever you are - thank you VERY much for all the goodies! My neighbor was with me when I opened the box and she was just ooohing and ahhhing and couldn't believe we have this group of friends!! So enough with the suspense.... My SP goodies are:

Ceramic egg with pansy seeds to grow
3 sets of "pot feet" to place under flower pots
a cute little cross stitch kit
a cute brush for scrubbing my dirty garden feet
a really neat cut "glass" vase with flowers figurine
a pair of garden gloves
a pretty floral tin pot to put a plant in
and a pretty glass plaque with sunflowers that says:
Laugh for yesterday
Live for today
Pray for tomorrow
Love for always

I love it alll!!!! Thank you SP!!! Woo hoo!!

ok - off to veg the night away. I'll check back w/ everyone tomorrow!

TY again SP!
