New Bees 02/02/11 friends - new and old...Come on in...

those were really cute skellogg. I don't think I could manage all those tiny little things .... doggies you know.

Oh! I never thought about that Crit. Yep, I'm thinking my dogs would have a heyday with all those toys, teeheehee! Definately have to put all those in pots up somewhere and then the cat would be in them, lol! I'm trying to figure out how they keep the kids from playing with all the goodies! That wouldn't bother mine, as when our grandbabies come and visit, they are much too busy with everything else.

the weather man is after me again i hate this mess . i didn,t ask for snow or ice at any time, wish it would just go away. and the sun would shine some.ilike to know it,s still up in the sky. love nettie

mekos im so glad i made bill puy yhose tris back. nettie im going to bed,

here is a picture of that plant blooming,

Very pretty nettie!

Speaking of doggies. If anyone wants a good laugh, go to this thread on youtube. It is my granddaughter playing with her Rat Terrier. The funniest part is at the very end when you see the dog look over the edge and you hear this soft little 'ow'. I didn't hear it the first time, I was laughing so hard. Heard it when I replayed it for DH. Be prepared, she is a "squeeler". lol

yes nettie .... she has plenty of sound. LOL

Our weather is calling for 4-10" more of s*** Tuesday/Wednesday. I sure hope they are wrong. We are just thawing out from the last one!

Threads have sure been quiet today. Guess everyone is getting ready for the SB

mekos must have gone to bed im conserned about rrm she has been off nearly all week hope she is not bad sick. think i need to turn in im not sleeping good don,t know why. love and hugs nettie.

Nettie, Mekos and RRM are spending the day together! No telling what kind of trouble those 2 can get into when they get together, teeheehee! I'm sure we'll hear all about it tomorrow tho! You try to get a good night's sleep, we don't want you getting sick too. And you just tell your weatherman that if he wants to see snow that bad, he can come visit here. We have plenty! He can even take as much as he wants home for his own yard, but I'm not shoveling it for him! I'm getting tired of shoveling snow already this year! Have a good night.

Well it's official, my wife Ellen is finally retired from school work last week. Chance to enjoy a little time off before taking on any more "projects". We're planning a three week vacation in Hawaii the first of March for a start, should be a lot warmer there. Don't worry, I'll be back in time to start the tomatoes plants at home in April. Maybe later in the summer we'll plan a hop, skip, and jump tour to visit several friends cross country. I'll keep you all informed where we are if you really want to know.

Al

al you know we wory if we start missing anyone for sure we would miss you and just think of the pictores you can send to us nettie

Oh Al, how wonderful for the both of you!! I'm so happy for you both, (and very envious on the retirement, lol) and I'm sure you'll love getting out of the snow and cold! Do you have friends or family in Hawaii, or just the 2 of you sneaking off to be alone? I'm sure you will both enjoy the vacation! And do check in once in awhile with us this spring and summer! Of course we will want to know about everything and see tons of pictures!

loca thank you for the new thread nettie. i think im going to bed just bored i think and i have been reading alot always makes me sleepy love and hugs nettie.

mekos and rrm need to get home while they can more snow i can,t stand much more of this mess i think we have had enough of the mess.they say 5or6 in. that is to much nettie im going to bed talk later

We don't have any family members in Hawaii, but do have some friends working on a church mission project in Oahu if time allows we may visit. Other than that we have 16 days on four islands to ourselves. We're not on a scheduled tour, but have prearranged island hopper flights, hotels, and a rental car to drive on each island. We really don't enjoy "tours", it's more fun exploring on our own.

Of course I'll be looking for all kinds of vegetation and plants, but probably won't bring a lot home. I am searching for a "Hawaiian Ti" tropical plant that can be grown from a small log cutting. They can be very pretty foliage houseplants in green, pink, and reddish colors. If they are small and easy to pack, I'll bring back enough to share with everyone.

Al

Have fun Al. Yippie, wish we could all go along too. LOL
I need prayers for Wesley again. He is not doing well. I got an ambulance last night and tried to get him to go to er but he refused and they left him there. He hasn't eat or drunk anything for several days and I am worried sick. I went back again this morning to beg again and while he wouldn't go, he did agree to try and eat some chicken soup for me and did sip some gingerale so I feel better now. BUT it is still bad. He can't even sit up and he feels so cold with the room so hot I can barely breathe. He shivers like he is freezing to death, and last night he got nose bleeds and still today his nose was bleeding too. I'm scared for him. I try to keep brave for him but it not easy with tears rolling down my face watching him so weak. He had been doing so much better.
I saw where Gary Maxey's house burned a few nights ago. Prayers for him as well. At least his family all got out just in time. They lost all the seeds and plants but I figure we can help him recover seeds and plants when he gets a new place. Please remember his family, please. http://www.andalusiastarnews.com/2011/02/04/midnight-flames-wake-family/

mekos he may be anemic being cold goes along with what he has he may need to take smothing for that all we can do is pray for him love and hugs nettie ps stop crying. if he feels like me the last place he would want to go is to the dr,

Yep, Nettie I got to meet Mekos and got my pup and he is beautiful. Been three days since I got him and already playing with Lucky and Radar. What a little Charmer. I'll show you in another thread below this one.

They are playing with Kaluah's little bear. All three boys were enjoying that bear. It was so cute. Jan I got Kaluha a little sweater.
Mekos, we will pray for you and Wesley. Please try not to wrry too much,but I know you will.
Prayers and blessings dear friend.....

I love the picture Charleen. He looks happy and they all look like they are having fun.
I finally got him to eat a little chicken noodle soup and he drank a little more gingerale. Then went back to sleep. Looks like he is getting a little stronger day by day. Thanks everyone for the prayers. He is just so fragile.

Oh I am so jealous you got to meey my mekos and take home that cute little pup;o)

mekos, I'm glad Wes seems to be improving. Poor guy has been through so much. I will continue to keep him in my prayers.

I think it is great when we get to really meet and talk and hug and greet and get to know each other. Mekos and I and our husbands really did enjoy our day together. We are planning on going to see Mekos this year in S.C. It was wonderful. she is a sweet wonderful person.

im going to bed just thought id say good night love and hugs to all have wess in my prayers hope he is on the mend and doing better. talk later

Wes is doing better today, it could have been a bug he had with all the rest, but he ate some more soup and kept it down again and today he is feeling a little stronger. Thank you all for the prayers. You all are just the BEST!
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY to you all.

So so so glad to hear the Wes is doing better! Could have been a bug, that's true, but God has great power, and I choose to think all the prayers are helping! Yippee!!

Wanted to show you my new yard art that I made today. Hope you can read it if you click on the picture.
