We had a great day of trading, eating, meeting new friends and visiting with old ones, talking plants, and enjoying the beautiful day in Arlington.
I think this is PlanoLinda on the left, Linda (arthagar's wife), and David R (Sheila's friend) talking plants.
Sybram's (Sybil) table o' plants.
More plant talk. That's Sheila way in the back taking pics, Debnes_DFW_tx (in the blue) and DFWDennis (in the green shirt) talking in the middle of the picture, and a lovely visitor in the front. I sure hope she got enough shade plants to take home with her! LOL
A really bad pic of the door prize table and Frostweed's (Josephine) back.
Lunching and visiting. Smokette (Linda) brought her mom, who you see on the left in this picture. What a delight to have her with us!
LValdez (Lori) and Smock talking amongst the plants. Smock does this really neat thing, too. For the plants he trades, he brings a photo album with pics of the blooms and what the plant looks like at maturity so you can see what you're getting. Great idea!
Sheila modeling one of the door prizes.
Thanks to Sheila, Josephine, and everyone else for making this an entertaining and downright FUN round up. I had a great time and greatly enjoyed meeting old friends and making new ones.
Carla
Me too Carla!
Thanks for opening the thread and sharing your pics Stephanie.
Nice to see everyone again!
I am going to make a thread for any "Unknown Plants from the N TX Roundup" thread so everyone will know exactly what they have. I only had one "unknown" and it was a door prize that my DH Kevin won. I will post the link in a minute... BRB
Deb, it is a noid peony that I brought as a prize.
I will post pictures later.
Deb, I tried so hard to get a pic of your son and DH together at the end of the door prizes, but Frank kept getting in the way! LOL
Here is my poor offering of pics. I sure miss the DH, when it comes to our RU he is the one that really documents everything with pics.

You shouldn't make Sylvia laugh when eating!
Good food good company....
We had beautiful weather and a lot of people took advantage of the abundance of tables.
Some new friends....Vicki and Karen...sorry it is blurry ladies.
Our co-hostess Josephine (Frostweed).
I also want to thank Stephanie and Mark for helping at the sign-in table and Frank for doing a bit of everything to make things go smooth. Good job everyone.
One last picture and mention.....
We had a flower pot bank that was available for those wishing to contribute to a house warming gift for Dave and Trish (our former king and queen of DG). We owe them so much for giving us the website we all love. In a thank you and friendship jesture we took the opportunity to collect from those who wished to give. We collected $97.80 and Josephine and I bumped that up to an even $100 out of the park fee collections. This will be used to purchase a cashier's check that they can use for whatever purpose they need for the house and garden.
Thanks to those who helped in our efforts.
there's that Diet Pepsi I had been looking for all morning.
and there's Carla and .........
There is Kirby and Ben, the ladies man. lol

That one of Josephine does look like she was on skates! LOL!
I like my blurry picture Sheila! That's called "soft focus" and it takes off at least 5 years ;-) Thanks for snapping it!
And a quick question (even though this is a photo thread) did I read somewhere that "THE" Dave is from Jacksonville,TX? Will he be at the swap at Love's Lookout?

As far as we know he and his family are not planning to attend.
Hello everyone. Sunday was such great fun. My grandson, Austin, and my cousin, Vicki, really enjoyed it, too. Thanks to all! Love the pics.

Dave and Trish were at the Cherokee County master gardeners sale this past weekend.. they were both looking good and having fun.. I asked about the new place and they love it.. Trish has lots of grand plans for it!
Glad to know they are getting settled in the new abode.
