Fun meeting up with other DG friends in Cinn. last week-end

Just incase you wondered why I have been so absent lately...I was away at the National Daylily meeting in Cinn. since a week ago. I went with Cal Sue and Lilystorm...made plans before time to meet up with Kim/owedbycats and spent the day with her visiting open gardens the day before the convention started.

Then on Sun. morning we meet badseed and her 6 beautiful girls and melissa OH...we had a wonderful time...it is so great meeting other gardening folks...it is like we have known each other forever...

Let me find a photo!

Here is: from left to right...in the back....Sue, Tracy/lilystorm, Melissa, Chele...and in the front me/picturelady...

And here is Sue with Chele and her daughters...

and baby...who was turned with her back to the camera in the last photo...

Oh what a great time you must have had! You all look great and thank you for sharing your picture's with us Picturelady! I love to look at other DGer's and love to hear when they meet too :-)....

Ok Chele, did you have another young'un since I spoke to you last??? LOL,......they are simply A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!!!! Just like their moma :-)

ALL of you are just as I pictured you!

Hugs
Julie

oh how wonderful. Bet you all had a blast

Chele's children were just unbelievably nice and well behaved! Being a grandmother of 8 children between the ages of 2 and 9, I wondered what we were in for when I heard that Cheles 6 children would be joining us for breakfast! But, it was nothing like I thought! They were just beautiful in appearance and in behavior!

Sue and I spent the evening before in the ER with Tracy who had sudden back pain while we were at the convention banquet dinner. We didn't get back to our hotel and to sleep until 3:45am....we had a postpone our early morning meeting with Chele and Melissa...and met at 11am instead! So, if we look tired, that is why!

During the convention we also met up with about 6 other Tinkers Garden members...some that we knew from last years convention in St. Louis and others that we met for the first time this year! We had a blast!!!

This is a photo of our Tinkers group...

You are just so photogenic Margie with your great smile. So tell me again what is Tinkers? Is that the daylily trading site?

Edited to add WOW Sue you look so great too. That pic was not up as I wrote my post. You should have that framed. I wish I had such a nice one of me with my Mom. How special you guys have so much fun together and share your love of plants. I feel I know you already!

This is how we ended our evening after a real fun time at Tony Romas...

Do I look like I am having fun!!!!???

Oh, great pics! I love that shot of me and my Mom! Can you send me the full size please?

Kell, Tinkersgardens is a garden site like this one http://www.tinkersgardens.com/ with a very active daylily forum (other forums too but they are not as extensive or as active as here) plus a registered daylily database. But we do find ourselves here at DG much more often! :-)

oh and Margie's pic ( 3rd one up from here) above should be in order of appearance: Marty of Tinkersgardens and soon to be here, picturelady-Margie and lilystorm-Tracy.

WONDERFUL!!!

Thank you for taking the time to post these pictures. I loved seeing them and enjoyed your description of your activities.

Judy

Chele just plain WOW, what beautiful children.

WOW, what a great lookin' group of ladies! It is obvious you all had a great visit by all the smiles!

Chele, what precious girls! How on earth do you get all of them looking so nice at one time? Color me impressed! I was lucky to get my Son to brush his hair when he was younger!

meltn...Thank you..just wanted to say, it is probably alittle bit easier to get girls looking good than boys!

I gotta say those girls are beautiful. What a wonderful family.

Jeanette

Wishin I was there!! What a great lookin group!Chele is that the back of your Sub?

Oh wow, another awesome DG mini-roundup! So wonderful to see all of you again. I bet the Daylily National Conference was stupendous!

Hope your back is feeling a lot better, Sue!

Great pictures. I know you all had fun.
Chele, your girls are beautiful.

hi Shirley (waving) it was Tracy that we took to the hospital not me.
We had a wonderful time and saw lots of great gardens. Check the daylily forum for several posts with pics.

Hi Shirley and Sue...I am over on Camera Talk, questioning a new SLR Digital...the Canon XT 350....

Good to see you both...well gotta get dinner going! It is almost 8:30p!!!

Shirley my clematis are growing like crazy! I will post a photo tomorrow!

OMG! Look! There is my fat little face again...LOL

It was so absolutely wonderful to meet Margie, Sue, Tracy and Marty!! I never would have met them if not for DG. They are all just so sweet and nice and I enjoyed all the giggles at brunch!

I had wondered if you all would be overwhwelmed by all the little girl seeds! LOL Thanks for the compliments. They are always properly threatened before an outing. ;)

LOL Chele!! I have a feeling you guide them with lots of love so you do not need lots of grrrrrrrrrrs. I bet you are so laid back as a Mom, a true joy.
