Faye did you know that you live where I always wanted to retire too? Hubby told me to go ahead and move, that he would catch up with me someday LOL..Guess that is still just a dream, I wanted to move to a place called Newbern but now I can't remember if it was in North or south carolina. The dog wood trees there are just lovely, I took one trip there about 25 years ago for business and fell in love. ( with the area) good thing I love my husband more than those dream retirement places tho.
It is nice you would help
me in my Gardens. You are just a really nice person, the world needs more of people like you and the rest of my wonderful Gardening friends here in this group.

I had to drive college girl to Emporia ( 90 miles away) to enroll for her next five years, and when we got home I took a pain pill, sat in my recliner and passed out. driving was hard. I awoke to her sobbing in the bedroom. She lost her wallet at the mall last night, and is scared I was going to make her get a driving test liscense ID instead of just an ID. I had no idea her fear of driving was so bad. She had a 3.9 grade average in community college, has over 50 hours of college under her belt and wants to be an English Lit teacher. I told her it was not worth crying over, held her like a baby for the first time in prolly 5 years. I feel so helpless with her. That near fatal accident she was in five years ago really has done damage to her confidence in being able to drive. She was only a passenger, and the Angels pulled her out of that car window before it flipped and smashed down flat on her side of the car. I trully believe she has angels all around her. She is filled with rods and screws, and is young and strong. Is it so bad not to make her learn to drive?
The passenger side is very visible in these photos. The angels pulled her out an open window just as she undid her seat belt to get her camera from the back, I am sure they whispered her to undo it. If she had not, I wouldn't have been able to hold her today. Are we wrong as Parents to ask her to learn to drive? We have been nagging her so bad.
I am sorry.. I am just upset with her right now, when she crys like that, it makes me feel, so helpless.
