"eyes"
Hey Ted.....
i just seen where your from lol. never heard of that town in Texas..
Love the ~ Hey Ted thread & the message...
...wish I was closer for a RU.
Where the heck is Toadsuck Tx?
I know where Toadsuck Ark is...
pod
eyes, What have you been up to lately? Let me hear from you, because I'd be interested in RU. When did you move, and I'm with podster, I know Toadsuck, AR, but not TX.
Podster, LMK where you are in Deep East Texas, I'm in the country between Gilmer and Longview.
Toadsuck is still Collinsville.........when the town was first started, the land where my new house is built was 3 miles east of town, and was comprised of solely a Saloon...........thus named Toadsuck. When a new school marm moved here and built the first school, the townsfolk then changed the name to Collinsville. (((((((((catlady)))))))) it's been too long! Been working and taking care of DH after his hip replacement this past December. More later, tater!
"eyes"
catlady, eyes, I thought ya'll fell of the world!
HI!!!!!!!!!!! How ya been?
:~)
eyes, Big hugs to you too. I've missed seeing you, so go get Ted busy on this RU. If podster is close by, I'll talk her into coming up with me.
Smockette, |I've just been working and this summer trying to catch up on all the things I don't get done when in school. This old bird just can't do fifteen things at once like she use to, getting old sucks!! What have you been doing with yourself? Come across any stunning plants lately?
It's so good to hear from you both. :)
I should wish... No RUs anytime soon. Got to work so I can play... maybe someday? I am far east of the Lufkin Nacogdoches area ~ as far east as it gets near Toledo Bend. I've been thru Gilmer and we are at least 1 - 1 1/2 hours south, Ms. Catlady... Been across the Red River too but missed Toadsuck ~ lol... I did love the attention getting post "eyes" and maybe someday..... : ) pod
Oh yeah ~ where the heck is Ted?
Varmit's hiding under a cactus somewheres......I'll see if I can shake 'im loose! Missed you to Linda, time being what it is, and there ain't never enough of it! Glad to meet you in the cyberworld Pod, hopefully one day in the real one.
"eyes"
Yas Ma'am ~ the pleasure is all mine! pod
Podster, Do you go to the spring and fall plant sales at SFA? If so, we have probably seen each other and didn't know it. If you're going to the fall, we'll have to meet up there. I really enjoy meeting fellow DGers and putting faces with names.
eyes, let me know if there is anything I can do to help shake ole Ted out of those cactus.
I'll take the blame! lol
I took Ted a 40# bag of Vemiculite to last CSRU. I think he used it this past winter & is probably either STILL planting his new babies or..........
he's got puter like me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is the date of SFA Fall, please?
I believe the Fall sale is Oct.8th. Are you coming Smockette?
No, I work on Saturdays : (
Hey eyes! Nice to "see" you here. :) Another one up at that same Texoma park we had one in Spring '05 would be nice. I think I saw Ted on here a week or so ago commenting about the water level at the lake, so he's around.
Nice to see you too Pam. I don't know if you remember me. I came to the roundup at your house in '04 right after I joined DG. I had my red-headed 9 year old daughter in tow. I know Smockette and eyes were there too. BTW, have you spoken with Bill (Etexbill)? I was wondering about him not long ago and he's not a subscriber anymore.
etexbill is hanging out at the HGTV forums now, mainly the dream house forums. Great to see you to sweezel. Smocky, baby, I shoulda known you were busy with your general good-heartedness!
"eyes"
Interesting, last time I he posted here on a thread, he was was talking about his assistance with the the Tyler Dream House. From what I found online, it looks like the winners are still trying to sell.
That one is gonna hang for a longgggggggggg time!
"eyes"
Yep, I agree. The guy has it listed way way way to high.
Sure I remember you sweezel and your lovely red-headed daughter. Sure hope this gets up and running as I would love to see everyone again. I have an old e-mail address for Bill, will try and see if it is still good.
Bill still has his same e-mail and said he would be interested in a Texoma RU.
Catlady, my calendar says that Oct 8 is a Monday! If that is the case, no, I want be able to make it!
But if it is the 6th, it is a good possibility! Might even get Sas to come w/me again.
S Texas I think has decided on the 13th.
Just making the rounds like gas was still cheap! ROFLOL
You're right Smockette, it's the 6th, so hope to see you there.
On my calendar, the Sat b4 S Texas in Taft!!!
The good Lord willing & the rains slow down!
:~)
So Oct 6th at the Lake Texohma?
No Mitch, the SFA Plant Sale is Oct. 6th, I don't think they have a date for the Texoma RU yet. Pam
OK.. thanks - little lost when I read the thread. I was unable to go to the last one and really wanted to head up to this one.
Well Hi all and I came out from under with no stickers. LOL
A roundup at Texoma is a maybe as of now. Everything here is closed.
The lodge and all the cabins have closed for a long time. Waiting on Congress to approve transfer of land from the Corps for the new lodge and facilities.
September before the park will be back to normal.
Eyes sure is nice to see you posting. Miss you and it seems like old times.
Well fiddle faddle..............what's it like over Hugo way? Durant have any nice parks? Thanks Ted, been missing y'all too.
"eyes"
