Well, look at all I've been missing! I don't know what happened but apparently I somehow deleted this page from my watch list! Arrrgh ... I should leave well enough alone but sometimes play around with my preferences and then get things all messed up!

I consider all of y'all pro's at growing these gessie's ... what gorgeous blooms! You all do such a great job! I wish I had the patience, seems like the older I get, the shorter my attention span! LOL

Gail: What a wonderful "gift" your church gave your friend with that nice Birthday party! I know she feels truly blessed, having so many folks care so much about her. I am so glad you posted her photo, and told us a little about her. She is the most beautiful bloom of the day! When I hear stories of people like your friend who are struggling with serious illness and doing it with such dignity, it truly is an inspiration! I hope she had a wonderful birthday!

Now, Miss Gail ... You're a beauty with or without a mouth full of teeth, but that is a great picture of you, you look so pretty and your smile lights up the room! Congrats on the new "choppers", I know you will enjoy that steak when you get a chance to eat it! Nine months is a long, long time not being able to chew! I know what you mean about needing a haircut! My hair is waaay too long ... I need about 8 inches cut off, just never seem to take the time to go and get it done. With the heat of summer already here and temp's hovering in the mid to upper 80º range some days, it is getting very uncomfortable and too much hassle! I keep it in pony tail or bun most of the time, and even with a high pony tail it's still so long that the pony tail reaches my armpits! Gotta get a haircut!

Well, I'm heading out to play in the dirt for a little while! I also want to trim up a couple of shurbs, was going to have my Hubby do it but he is giving a couple of final exams today so I'm on my own for working in the yard. He gives his last two finals on Monday and then will have a few days off before he begins teaching Summer A term. We hope to take the boat out a few days next week!

Have a great weekend everyone!
