Coffee Break #76

How time passes. 5 years ago I was a Girl Scout leader/"advisor". We had a seedling pine that we planted and dedicated in the town nursery in anticipation of the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouting. Back then people in the town tree committee said they wanted to have a ceremony when they move it to it's final home planned for this year. Unlike the cookies, I hope the tree got bigger.

Victor, wishing the best for your MIL.

Jan, congrats to your son's family for the expected baby #4!

Jan, has your 14-year-old grandson been running around barefoot in the woods lately? He should, and you can invite some Bigfoot hunters up for an investigation! He sounds like a great kid. I love kids with special needs.

Do you know those hummers take a trip across the Gulf of Mexico to get here? A very long journey with no food or water. They have the longest migration of any bird. They winter way down in Panama. They're simply amazing.

Victor, I can't imagine anyone having 15 kids. I have an uncle who is married to a woman who comes from a family of 11 kids.

Charlie is one messy kid there, Celeste!

I've read about those bottle bombs before, Sherrie. Awful! I wonder if there have been any recent incidents with those. That was back in 2010.

Haven't bought any GS cookies this year. A friend loves the GS Samoa ice cream.

Karen

SIL buys GS cookies. They ARE smaller and the boxes shrunk too. Prices are the same. I just give a donation and dont feel cheated that way.
Samoahs are smaller definatly and the traditional Shortbread cookie used to need biteing in half before I could dunk it in my 4 oz glass. It fits swell now with room to spare. My guess is the cookies re half their originl size.

Kids are coming to dinner tonight & bringing the upteen boxes of GS cookies I bought, so I'll check the size....loved that last article....explains a lot!

Daffodils are starting to bloom in the front yard but all of them are about 1/2 as tall as they have been in previous years.

Interesting.

I'm aggressive for fat too.

Makes me mad!

Yes, I've noticed I am more likely to beat my wife after Oreos.

Hope she beats you back!

Yes, but it's Chips Ahoy that triggers her.

when he eats all the oreos I want to beat him!!!

Sigh, a friend had made me Cowboy Cookies, but I gave them to my son....he could use the calories.....

Wow - they made the Marines disarm before the Defense Secy addressed them. Unheard of.

Today you never know.......

WHAT?!

Today is the day Debbi-k and I go to a garden center,just to smell potting mix and see baby perennials. We meet at 8:15.

I can't believe how NICE this weather has been this week!!! 60s and 70s all week! Hoping it stays this way!!! LOL!

Beware the Ides of March, Jo. They might tempt you into buying some goodies. Have a great visit with Debi

Headed for GroMore? Wish I was going with you, Jo & Deb!

Here we are.I bought 2 Jacobs Ladders verigated.Deb recomended them. We fell in love with some trellises but have long numbers on our credit cards.

Nice!!!

This is year 3 for Debbi and me.

A cool tradition.

Wow - have my house 16 years today. Cannot believe it. Started with no intention whatsoever to get into gardening other than some tomatoes and basil. We know where that went. ^_^

Good thing you like plants Victor.

We're glad it went that way, Victor. You, like everyone here is an inspiration.

Gardening is therapy....and something in me is just driven to get into the garden...even when I was on crutches, I was sitting on the stone walls weeding....

Thanks.

MIL in hospital again. Same symptoms. Turns out to be a very bad infection. White count is 20,000! Will need IV antibiotics for a long time. Seems she is on a downhill slide health wise in so many ways.

Oh, dear. Praying for everyone, Victor.

will pray for her Victor.. my dad is struggling a bit this week as well.. hopefully he will have some answers today from the doc

Sending good thoughts and healing prayers to Allison and Victor♥

thanks Ronnie

Same here, prayers being said for both.

Your dad is in my prayers, Allison. Praying for answers.

Thanks, all.
