Horseshoe's SeedSavers Contest

Well I kept hanging out at my home page and hitting the "refresh" there to see when there was activity here...

This was a real hoot for me folks. Many thanks for making my Day! I luvs to have fun!

As for the extra-credit, I picked two folks who posted and made me giggle, and will also send them a little something.

Baa...Thanks for your humor! When I grow up I wanna be just like you! A mind with wit and knowledge combined! It is a great addition!

tiG...great mind thinking there! (Folks, I said I'm thinking of two words...etc. What'd she guess? "Two words!") Very good!

Next post I write will be what I thought of earlier today. "What would be the reason for choosing those words?"

Shoe: Thank you so much! Would you like me to e-mail you my addy? I have to hit the hay -- early morning tomorrow... I hope your evening is filled with blessings and plenty of Family Love!!! Gretchen

Thanks shoe this was fun. We will be waiting for the post. Now I think I will go to bed. Night everybody

Yes please, Gretchen. I'll mail yours out tomorrow.

Nite all!

How sweet Shoe. Sweet dreams everyone.

And on this note...I go up to the house to relax. What a wonderful day ya'll gave me! Thanks!

Family. Love.

Hmmm…two wonderful words, eh? Was wondering why those two words popped to the front of my brain, then I got to thinkin'...

They can be used separately. And used together. Can be used in varied context. They both exude passion. Each word alone can relate to Togetherness. Both words together speak volumes! They both seem to talk of Growth. And, as we know, Growth happens in Gardens!

We were all born into a Family. After we each “germinated” we were then coddled in the great heatmat of our Mother. We had the proper warmth, the nourishment, the care and concern that would protect us and contribute to our growth! When we outgrew our “cell pack”, we were then transplanted to a nursery bed, and folks called it Birth!

The Nursery Bed gave us room to wiggle our toes, grow longer roots, reach out with our top growth, seek the Light, accept or refuse what was offered us, and see the new world around us! We were babied, nurtured, taught, played with, admired. Pretty cool, eh?

And here we are now. A continual form of Fruition. We now get to give back and offer or pass on to others our warmth, nourishment, care and concern, and encourage growth in many areas. Like I said, Pretty cool, eh?

Now, that other word, Love. That’s a mighty powerful word. Certainly as powerful as Family, perhaps more so! That’s the “secret” recipe that helps us grow. It’s the foliar feed or, rather, the Familial feed that showers us all and helps to keep us healthy and retain or gain integrity. It helps us fight off the molds and mildews that might appear in our Garden. That’s what encourages us to grow again, and again, year after year. That’s what is a perpetual given. All we have to do is accept it, and pass it along.

Like I said before, pretty cool, eh?

Thanks for participating folks.
Ya’ll ain’t nuthin’ but the Best!

Nighty Nite!

Darn I missed this last night. (Fell asleep in the chair) As I was reading just now, I thought of LOVE as one of the words. Your last post is beautiful.

ah, great story Shoe!! had to miss all the end, but it was a hoot to read this morning!! you always make us smile.

AWWW! I missed it...Congratulations to the winners...and
shoe...THANKS for making us think of FAMILY
LOVE! Jo

What a lot of fun this thread has been. Thank you, Shoe, for giving it to us and for your seemingly endless wisdom. Once again, you have delighted us all. What would we ever do without you? I hope we never have to. You're the BEST, my man!

Shoe, thanks for the great thread, even tho I didn't participate, just got here. Your last message was very good. Donna

Enjoyed the game as well as all of the chitchat. Great thread.

Thanks!

I really had a great time on this thread! Ain't DGer's the best!!!

So much good times. (And here 'tis, middle of Winter...perfect timing for this, eh? Luv it when a plan comes together!)

Shoe you are magnificent! Thank you for your wisdom and sense of fun. May you never grow up!

Does anyone ever think of Shoe as the never grow up Peter Pan of Dave's Garden or am I the only one?

Maybe more perhaps like Willy Wonka without the chocolate. :)

HAH!....ya'll are nuts! Thank goodness, too!

Yes, but don't you love nuts?

That saying that Shoe just submitted, "Ya'll are nuts!" sparks off this reply in my mind. I just love nuts of all kinds and that includes Shoe!

Welp, reckon I'm ya'lls "nutty-buddy" then! ô¿ô

Our "Nutty buddy" sounds good to me, Shoe. So be it then...."Chuckle, chuckle.."

Yup my Peter Pan Nutty Buddy, Willy Wonka and Awesome friend all rolled up in one man. But don't get a big head about it or I will pop your bubble. *snicker*

My haid gets any bigger I'm gonna hafta get a bigger hat!

Ya'll need to behave I tell ya! Behave!

YA'LL are the best...I just try to pull ya'll together so you know it! Ten four?

(Now as for poppin' that bubble, Pondy...when one of your pondfish comes to the surface to look around, I'm gonna zing a top water popper plug its way and encourage it to have a snack! By the time I get ready to leave your place you'll be begging to buy some of MY fish back to restock your pond with!) ;>)

Shoe, you better bring plenty of coolers if you think you are going to try to fish most of MY fish out of the big pond. Why there are so many fish out there that DS hooked a full five gallon bucket of them in less than a half hour last fall.

Would ya quit threatening your coming out and get yourself out here?

Where in the world have I been....Just found this and your story just made me bawl like a baby Shoe...Wow....!

No monitor!
