And, yes, it's true I like most all plants...just some more than others.
Dee

Dee
Charlene
all I can say is WOW, girl you're talented, that's a great job, you can paint, my good friend of 26yrs also paints, she painted her celing like clouds, I will do that this winter in my pantry, it's in the basement, it's a concrete celing, I know that isn't spelled right, your santas are georgeous
Elizabeth
Elizabeth, Thank you.
Dee, did you lik them???
You can do it, Elizabeth, it is fun, painting. just have to go at it
slow.
Charleen
Elizabeth, Charleen is being mean to me. But guess what I am the youngest of 8, so I am used to it..lol...whoa is, poor little me....lol..
I love your Santas, you sure can paint girl.My youngest daughter can paint beautifully to, but I do good to draw stick figures.I need to find the pic of my santa, so I can show Elizabeth, I sent it you, didn't I Charleen...my brother as Santa?
Dee
Dee
I just checked, yep the frog is still there, but there will be a lot more blooms on the Iochroma tommorrow, it just started blooming today, Dee don't go to crazy when you see my giraff, it's in the basement with my rooster, you only got to see part of my basement, I hope Superspot, blooms soon it's out in the GH
Elizabeth
Dee
poor baby, I am the youngest of 8 also, I had all the bosses, now there are 3 of us, the other 2 think I am the oldest
Imagine that, you are the youngest of the three of us also, can you imagine if we lived close to each other, what a garden between us, now that would be heaven on earth, & we would have mules to ride
Elizabeth
Yes, Dee I have it on my Screensaver. When I see him I wave back. It is cute.
I collect a lot of stuff Elizabeth, she would have fun here too.
We seem to all like to collect and enjoy each others company.
Charleen
Charlene
my collecting paid off, once, have you ever seen the antique roadshow, anyway, I bid on a box lot, I got it for $3.00
there was this plate, that had gold trim, I looked it up on the puter, it was Prussia, anyway, the guy that made it owned the factory from 1885-1912, it has his mark on it, so it's age is at least 90yrs old in perfect condition, I had it on the china cabinet on a plate stand, I got if off there wrapped it in bubble wrap, so it doesn't get broken
that's the only item I have ever gotten for that price, a once in a lifetime deal
I would love it where you live you have a lot of space
Elizabeth
Thank you Elizabeth. DH loves nutcrackers and I like Roosters, Santas,
Seems like everything that collects dust. And now , it is plants. Which is safer than when I was Riding.
I loved riding and still wish I could but I don't want to get hurt. That Saddle reminds me.
Charleen
I guess my plants like it. It looks good.
sitting there with them
Oh yeah, we would have a blast if we lived close to each other...Oh....the gardens we would have!And you know what Elizabeth?Charleen would be right out there with us when the stores open the day after Thankgiving!!..lol
Ok, found one of my Santa pics. Elizabeth, this is my favorite brother as Santa, in his new outffit that I made for him..he was just tickled to death, to receive it. He loved playing Santa, didn't even need any padding...lol..We had so much fun that year. We went to daycares, nursing homes and to about everyones house in the family.
Dee
Elizabeth, do you get the black friday sales sent to your e-mail?
Dee
that is one I have too, Elizabeth. Isn't he great??
I know Dee is so proud of him.
Charleen
Yes, Charleen, I am.He is just a big teddy bear.He is third from the bottom age-wise.The brother thats between us, is an Algebra, teacher, that went to West Point, ...a brain, with no common sense...lol....Does not know how to come down to most peoples level, to carry on a conversation...
Alan(Santa) loves to garden, too, and has a beautiful yard.
Dee
Dee
you can sew, do you use pattern's, the reason I ask is I have some I was goint to get rid of, one is a quit wall hanging, table runner & matching chair pads, some of the other ones are table cloths,
I love the outfit of santa, & your brother makes a good one, great job girl
yes I get the emails, but I also get the paper everyday, one place I am not going is best buy, those crazy people camp out there with their tents, on Thanksgiving day, all the way up to when they open their doors at 3am
Elizabeth
Wow, Elizabeth, great deal on the plate. I've never got a deal like that.
Dee
Yes, Elizabeth, I do use patterns.If you do decide to get rid of them, just let me know. I would be very happy to cover the postage on them!
Dee
Another place they do that is BASS PRO SHOP. they do take tents too. Not me,
I'm not going to freeze.
Dee, My brother , is gone now, but his name is Allen. Isn't that great?? He was so funny.
Love them while you got them.
Those people are desperate for a good bargain, aren't they??/
Charleen
Now, my daughters would probably do that, if they got a good enough price on something, but not me..lol
Charleen two of my brothers have passed on, but Alan is the only one of the 5, that I have ever been close to.All of my family is still in Ohio.
Dee
Speaking of Christmas, do you girls always ask for garden stuff for Christmas. I do...roundup...preen...mulch..manure...trellises.., and the kids and grandkids just shake their heads..lol
Dee
Aren't youglad you have him close by. I loved it when my
Allen moved down here. I miss him very much.There were five of us 3 kids, Mom & Dad.
I'm only one left. I got cousins but they are all in Mo. It is lonesome
sometimes, but I got my Critters, that helps and I got you all. That really helps.
Charleen
Charlene
I stood in line at best buy, to get my DD a laptop, my hair wa froze, I looked at the line it was long, I said the heck with this came back home got warm then went to walmart, they do price matching, this lady told me to stand in the line for electronics, so I stood there for 1&1/2 hours got up there, then she tells me I have to wait in the line for site to store
that went from back there to the middle of the store, I was mad, so I started to leave, but thought I had came to that store to get my DD a laptop & I wasn't leaving until I got what I came for, so I go back in & this store greeter
said how are you doing, her mistake, I said I have never been treated so rudely in my life, you see this money it's going back home with me to make a longer story short, my DD has a better laptop than mine, it has webcam, for $5.00 less than I got mine the year before, it pays to get mad every once in a while
Elizabeth
i think garden stuff is great!!!
What's wrong with it?
Charleen
Elizabeth, all I have ever, ever, ever wanted for Christmas, was a giraffe and a rooster...(BIG BIG BIG heehaw)..Bet you thought I missed that you had them in your basement, didn't ya? lol
Dee
Yes, it does pay sometime to get mad. They have to think
it over if you say you are going somewhere else. That is why i go to Drugstoe for DH. He gets so upset,
They got him on Automatic refills^_^ Isn't that funny?
You know what my mom used to say, don't cha..."you're big e'nuff your wants don't hurt ya..lol
Dee
Well, I missed them. Where were they?
Charleen
She is afraid to show us the pics of them...lol
Girls, I look forward to talking to you two every night...my husband says we are blogging. I don't know about that, but it sure is fun...lol
Dee
