Betty, Your gardens are absolutley lovely. I am already excited for your garden party next year!! You have won Steves Heart over. ROFL like that should surprise me. heheh, I think it surprised him.

So here is another part of my Dream Vacation...LOL always best to start at the beginning.

As I pondered of how all this came to be, I must giggle as I recalled a phone conversation between Liz and I. We should run away together. Just like the real Thelma and Louise! Haha, we were both , uh...little bit aggetated with our DH's ay the time. So this all started with being a playful joke. So as our conversation went on, We decided we were going to meet up and drive to Betty's. We were just going to do it, and surprise Betty! Well, what a bummer bubbles were burst. Neighther one of us had propper documentation. So..we continued to laugh and giggle how fun it would be to meet! Owah! To the most wonderful words I can read on a tiny little screen. Liz txted me asking what I thought of July 7-14 would be. Rolflol, think I replied HOT! got to laugh again, she says no silly I mean to meet. She could get a vacation in, aaand found a round trip ticket too, asked me if she should book it!! OK heart beating fast, I txt while jumping up and down smiling and giggling said...Are you kidding?? BOOK IT! OMG all that while...OMG got to laugh out loud, shaking my head too, cuz I was Driving home!!! LOL, was also thinking what kind of question is that? heheh, boy was I excited! Called Steve immediatley and said we are having company. He says who? I tell him almost out of breath a mile a minute Liz, Lizrainey from the Garden. LOL, could just picture him taking off his Property Prep cap, scratching his had too, lol. OK, he says be sure to mark it on the calander. You Bet, I say!
Thats how my truley wonderful dream began. Thank you Liz. Was indeed a pleasure to spend time with you. Not long enough.
LOL, Ask Kenny if he's sure he don't want to move right now. Open homes here, hmmmm.

...You have read Liz and Betty's post so now I would like to tell you some behind the "post scenes" hehehe, Yes I am a brat!

As you know, I think everything happens for a reason. Tuesday Liz and I went shopping. We went to a place way out in timbuc too.LOL the boonies to me. While we were watching for the Cospro beauty supply I spot this place, a garden, tour hmmm, we think we'll stop on the way back. We didn't. Had a full day of running around.

As I drove a road I really never go down too far...I smiled as Liz was amazed at how green everything was. Pleasantly pleased she was enjoying the ride, we chatted of the flowers and such. We found the store. Ves, am sorry to say I had an allergic reaction so color didn't take. But was fun to try...to me, I've considered Liz a sister for quite a while, hahah, you all are too..heheh, I heard, Hands on hip here, there was plan on hair cut and color. Ummmm, as you guessed none was made. simple, lol Shar, stop shaking your head. You all have seen it in the picture of the three Amigos....I got to tell you all, That was so cute you dubbed us that! Smiling as I recall reading.

We found the place...then we went to the other stores..Stopped at the local Ace Hardware ( ma & pa) kind of place. Talked us into getting sand concrete? Dunno, will tell you about that later. In the end Store was JoAnnes and what do think we saw there?? ROFLOL...A Cospro!! LOL right in my back yard. Had to laugh again. Well came home, Liz made a scrumptious uh, Beef dinner! Steve most excited he didn't have to cook!, lol me too.

That was Tuesday, when we got home Liz showed me how to make those really cute fortune cookies. Of Course, I podged them, lol she rolled her eyes. We giggled some more. If you think she's dancing eyes...Yep sure does and laughter makes light up in dance some more!

We also read Betty was for sure coming on Wednesday. Woohoo...Couldn't wait! In the morning we decided to have a Lunch. So Liz buizied herself with making a potatoe salad. Verrry intent on the proper ingredients...was fun watching her shop for stuff.
So while making the salad, I tried to busy my self too. You know picked up the cluttered house. Got to laugh, and shake head too. Betty came too a nightmare.. OMG! So, as i picked up trying to declutter, I am all the while pacing to kitchen window for a the sunbusrt vehicle!
12 noon came...Liz still cooking...look out window...maybe if i go out front. Hmmm no Betty! Checkked thread again to see if a post was made....OK! Should be on her way, dang, should have d-mailed my number. Walk through Kitchen again. Whoohoo up pulls the orange sunburst andf I hollar She's Here....Poor Liz, Away I ran all the way to Betty!!

Just then! Right there in my driveway..We just smiled and hugged in greeting. Was the the most tremendous feeling. LOL. Then we hugged again. As, our second hug was made, here came Liz, smiling and ready for hug too. What a beautiful greeting. It was for the three of us! Very Special, and I have got to say, as Betty did, there was no "stranger" feeling what so ever. Just a loving connection between friends. A spectacular feeling to my heart, one I've not felt since I last hugged my sister Carol Bear.

As you know We ran off after visiting a bit. So I was told another surprise for ME! Betty brought me the most beautiful Ardioch chair. Her work of art!! LOL She has said I loved it! Um an understatement there. Look at the detail of her art! Daisies, my all time favorite. They are so pretty dancing in the breeze with bright yellow/orangie faces, always bring a smile.
LOL, Julia, DD#1 was summons to help, while I had to hold hands over my eyes, and I did too! DD#1 ran away saying oh she's gonna cry, I was so so surprided and yes choked up until she said that! Then regained composure mighty quick...
Betty had painted, hands on hip here, you probably already know. LOL..I am delighted to share. On the theft arm, is a white flower with a intricate dragon fly over it and a pair of pruning shears. On the right! OMG, looks like I took off my left glove. I am left handed and placed on the the arm of the chair! there are seed packages, one of purple and Daisies! That package reads Judy's Daisies. Can you feel my smile! Thank you Betty, OM Gosh!! Know one but you and me has sat in my chair...OHWAH!!! The back of chair has a gorgeous bouquet of Daisies!!
