I hope to be there!

Me too... Lyle and Becky

I plan on being there but may not have my usual truck load of things to trade. Been working on our MG demo garden, arboretum and plant sale. The slae is on Sept. 25.
Look forward to visiting with the crew of friends, new and past participants (not old).
DD
Still the dude ?

LOL.. what do you think??...DDD!!

Is that what the "DDD" stands for? D3 or Triple D? sounds like a rap artist to me ( smile )

Yo DGers what's going down
Nothing really happenin', sticking things in the ground.
OGR's and a tropical too
Ain't no rain so what'cha gunna do.
Yo ! Peace Out,
DDD in da house at the RU.

Elevate the canopy......er,...I mean,...... Raise da Roof for da Triple D!!!!!

LOL, afraid I stuck David with the DD Dude nickname last year...it just seemed to fit him!

He better watch it we may have him sing for us at the RU ...ROFL Go DDD Go DDD

I think he should sing for us and I think anyone else that can play and insturment should bring it and play for us.
(Big Fat Grin)

What am I talking about, I don't think I'm going to be able to make this one. (frown)
I know that all of you will have enough fun without me there. Just someone think of me while ya'll are having all the fun.
Happy Gardening, Marian

Hey DdeTx, that sounds pretty good. Sing it again or at least give us the second verse, unless it's the same as the first.

I sing again if it brings another inch of rain like this afternoon.
Yo baby refreshing.

what no rain here just thunder and clouds but it passed us up this time *pouts*

We'll be there as usual.

DD you're so funny.. gotta see what we can do to get you to sing..lol

Marion... aww heck.. I enjoyed meeting you at the spring RU.. you're a trip ..lol.. sure hope you can make it!!I think of you everyday when i am checking on the dl's

willistxgarden.. my mind ain't what it used to be.. I forgot your names, but i really enjoyed you and your lovely wife at the spring RU too.. you ought to see my loquat!!

Karen.. yeah you did name DDD that handle, and yeah it seems to fit..lol

Phyllis..got bread??? hehehehe

Dave... looking so forward to seeing your sweet family again! Your children are the most behaved children that I have seen in a long time!!

Hey Becky....lookin' forward to the next get together..... and the Loquat.........you'll love the fruit, I bet! Like a lemony-citrusy plum...sorta (smile)...I sure like 'em
Lee & Dee

I might throw a rap down on you but not many want me to sing. You all you guys soon.
D

Lee.. I love all kinds of fruit, and especially if we grow them ourselves!!

D... rap?? well that will be interesting lol...

bump

Me and John will be there with bells on.

Beck, nice to hear from you on here. Hope the surgery goes well.

DDD .............still the dude, the singing? dude?

I too would sing for rain, but my off key voice would probably make it thunder instead. LOL

Hey Kathleen! Did the rain spoil your plants? No, I guess it could have been the LACK of it maybe. I'll bring you some more goodies for sure.

Charlene

bump

bumpity bump lol

Ken and I will be there

Looks like my daughter, son-in-law and 3 Grands will be coming with me for part of the time.
D

Well good deal there DD they can get to meet some of the fun people you hang out with from time to time LOL

For those that asked no more bamboo it is gone ...whoooo hooooo !!!!!

There is a good chance I won't be here :( But it is a good thing cause it means I will be at the Train the Trainer course in Bryan
Which is something I really really want and should have as a school bus driver trainer.
I have already dmailed those of you that have worked with me in the past RU's so I am going to pass the ball over them to run the show now
Any trades I have started here we will work something out to get the plants to and from.

***Anyone near by right now I have some pampas grass ( not a ton of it but some) we pulled up that needs a home if ya want it
otherwise it goes to the burning pile and yes I am out workin in the rain makes this go easier when wet LOL***

Hi Phyllis,
You are going to love the Train the Trainer program. Do you know who any of the trainers are going to be? When I started out at Cy-Fair, they didn't have anything like that. The had a short training program, and if you could reach the pedals, you were hired! haha Things sure have changed since then. Have fun while you're there, but I know you will, 'cause what's more fun than being around a bunch of women that had to check off the box on their employment application that said "Are you crazy?" (A prerequisite for driving 72 kids, with your back turned to them)

Long story, but no surgery..lol... TG!!! But I still am not worth a flip because of the pain... I will get my list together soon, and hope there's something someone might want. Phyllis knows I will help in any way.. but i suggest DD to be the head boss.. besides.. he can entertain us with that rap session...lol... Looking forward to "it" and seeing all of you again!!!

Annette the only one i know of that is a trainer for it is Josh Rice that works for Thomas buses but not sure if he wil be one of them doing the course or not.

We will miss you Phyllis.
Josephine.

yeah I will miss not being there too but this course is something I have been wanting to do since last year and the way the boss is talking he is sending me and the other gal that has been training all the new drivers this year.
But You Josephine are going to have to keep that camera on your neck so you don't lose it again LOL

Yes, you are so right, that was quite a problem I caused, and so lucky that we were dealing with good honest people.
You were so sweet to bring it to us, what a sport!!!
Thank you very much, and yes i promise to keep it secure.
Josephine.

I hate you won't be there, but at least it is for something you want to do badly. Becky glad you didn't have to be out because of surgery. Hope you are not putting off something you may need though. Pain is not fun.

Mibus2 usually organizes the RU here in ET. We will need someone to step up and take on some of the organizational chores.
darkmoon-Karen has said she will do the door prizes
I will secure the site and get there early to reserve our usual spot.
We will need the food organized and have someone to do name tags.
Frostweed can be the photographer if she can keep up with the camera :).
I just have too much going to take on any more jobs right now.
We will miss you Phyllis.
DD

Very well DD, I will be the photographer and promise not to lose the camera.

I'm gonna miss all y'all too
try hitting Becky up she has helped in the past with the food stuff
The name tags ....mmmmm..... I have them set up on my computer to print them out so who ever does it just needs to holler and we an email the file
