Twisted Round Robins - Part 4
The Forward Robin should be with member janets.
~* Robin☺
Thank you for creating the new thread, kooger! *HUGS*
My dial-up is breathing easier, too. lol
Donna
I'm confused - how can the Forward Robin be at janets - it has not been here yet. I thought someone said it is stuck at ZZTOPSOIL. Did I miss something?
YW Tutti.... :)
Not here! I thought Kooger would get it then ZZTopsoil. Right? So it should be with...?????whomever is before Kooger...TMORTON? I knew they were both getting close to me...but nothing is here...so they must be a couple away from me on both ends...I will probably get them both at the same time! Oh MY! That will really be a trip! Anyway Kooger, It is not here and I am sure it WILL come to you before me!
Have a beautfiul Sunday and God bless you all!
JanetS
From the other thread, on June 17 the box was sent to TMORTON, she should be getting it soon, if not already. Then Kooger, ZZ has been MIA for almost 2 months, Makshi's robin has been held up by him since May 2nd, so it was suggested that we skip him for now, and add him back in when he shows up. He has been in so many robins, and always been a good trader, so we are hoping that he will show up soon. If anyone hears from him, please let him know that people are worried. For now, the robin will go from Kooger to JanetS, I guess.
Deb
Okay, the forward is with TMORTON, where is the reverse?
It'll be at my place next week. Melvatoo has it till tomorrow. She's sending it to me come then.
~* Robin☺
Cool, they have both been moving pretty quickly! Has anyone heard from ZZTopsoil?
JanetS
It will have to be tomorrow..I am under the weather, today...but you will get it, this week Robin...
I wanted to post and say that when I was in the chat room this morning, I learned that Alice Knapp has gone to live with her daughter & no longer has internet access. I know we've been worrying / wondering, and I was relieved to hear she's OK.
I mailed the Reverse Round Robin, to Robin, on the 29th of June the tracking # for UPS is 1Z751E940353600644.

Isn't sad that we get old and have to move in with someone and don't get to do the things we love? Sad for Alice. :(
Well, hopefully her daughter lets her have all, or at least most of the fun in the garden! Too bad they don't have internet!! ~ Suzi :)
Hey everyone... sorry for the delay. The Robin was sent to Kooger last Thrusday via USPS, and i would post the confirmation number, if i could read it. I accidentally washed it with the jeans i was wearing :O( and its completely illegible. woops. I only took out a few packs and there's still lots of goodies. This has been fun :0) Thanks
Tim
Better run to the PO today! ...lousy timing... have to take MIL and aunt and uncle to visitation all afternoon and evening, then take them to funeral tomorrow. Oh well, life happens, right? I'll try to go thru some of it tonight. Looking forward to it!
It is getting close! Where is the Reverse Robin now? Did anyone ever hear from ZZ? Are we skippin to me from Kooger? I can't wait to get them both...just hope not all at once. That would be a bit overwhelming! What happens to the seeds when it goes around? Is the last person going to start over or just keep it and SMILE??!!
JanetS
The Reverse Robin is due to be delivered to me, by tomorrow; JanetS. That's what the UPS says on tracking it; on time delivery they said.
Gotta go to sleep early tonight! I be waiting on the front porch with rings on my fingers, and bells on my toes!
~* Robin☺
With visions of Sugarplums dancing in your head? LOL
Robin,
Let me know when you get the box....
Melva
Is there list for where to for the reverse one???
The Reverse Robin was sent to Naturewalker from Melvatoo last week, it is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow....
Can't wait to see all of the goodies! It seems like the time since we began has gone by sooo quickly! I can't believe it is already July...it will be Christmas, for REAL, before we blink!
JanetS
Windy,
The words, "rings on my fingers, and bells on my toes;" comes from a Tony Orlando & Dawn song called "Say, Has Anbody Seen My Sweet Gypsy Rose." year: 1973
Can you believe? My twin boys were born that year too! I was turning 20.
"Time waits for no Wo-man"
And the box is not here yet!
~* Robin☺
Robin, I think those words are from a rhyme, but I don't know if this is the whole thing. I do remember:
Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross
To see a fine lady upon a white horse
With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
She shall have music wherever she goes!
Deb
Hey Deb,
I knew I should've posted a link; but I'm wondering where the box is; so check here:
Say, Has Anbody Seen My Sweet Gypsy Rose - Tony Orlando & Dawn http://www.webfitz.com/lyrics/Lyrics/1973/341973.html

Shame on them for stealing lines from a nursery rhyme! LOL!
momcat - You brought back some fine memories! I can still picture my mom bouncing my little sister on her knees and singing that ditty! Lordy, it must've been about 50 years ago! Mom was so young then - and now she's gone... She sure did love her baby girls!
The box got here at 4:45 PM EDST (Eastern Daylight Savings Time). Delivery was late due to USP's computers going down today. I'm digging in!
~* Robin☺
The Rhyme has always been one of my kids favorite Mother Goose. From that book with the black and white checked cover. Anyone else remember that? I saved it and can't wait for my new grandaughter to be with me so I can read it to her too!! Yipee!! I am next to get the reverse box. It will be a hundred times more fun than reading seed catalogs. SEEYA, Margie
Any news on the Robin? I am still 11 away perfect for fall planting!!!!
This is so FUN!!! .. I have some fresh seeds just harvest to put in !~!
So, where are the robins now? I mean the regular one, and the reverse...
I have some fresh seed also. I can't wait to see what is in the box!
The regular is on it's way to GA. Took me longer than most, sorry to say - can only get to the post office on Tuesdays to pick up mail because of my work hours and small town post office hours. I stopped after work in the big city to mail it Fri. I emptied my seed box and also sent along some extras from trades that are tropicals or things I'll never try. It would have been .85 cheaper to send if it wasn't in a flat rate box. :)
No word from the reverse robin. Last stop was on the 6th at Nature Walkers. I am next, and excited to see her on my porch whenever she gets here.
Oh my, Kooger, you mean it is coming to me already! That is awesome! Can't wait! Let you know when it arrives.
Just FYI, you can use regular First Class postage even on a Flat Rate box.... just have them tell you which is cheaper and go with that option. If it doesn't have to go far, or if it weighs less, First Class may be cheaper. But if you put it into a different box, flat rate postage won't be an option.
Good to know. I always check with th e post office clerks when I have anything to mail..."which way is the cheapest or sometimes the fastest." I am so excited. I can't get in the yard much because of the heat so I have been harvesting seed, and can't wait to "dream" plant some NEW things from the the ROBIN!
crittero. tried that, they wouldn't let me ... said I had to send it 'flat rate' ... told them they're wrong but didn't have time to stand there and argue over .85 -but it irked me, for sure! :)
Okay, Kooger, tell me what you got from the box! I would like to know what prizes you found!
Janet
