well to save her from that I can offer my place as a in between spot to drop of stuff then you can come back and get it as able so no one has to ride on the roof ...LOL...I'm only like 21/2 miles from 31 on 2661 LOL
East Texas 6-2808 trade lists
Can ya'll even imagine what I'll look like after that ride on the top. I wonder if she'll at least put me a pillow or something so I'll at least have a soft spot!!!
Sheila could I get an Obedient Plant (orchid) if there is any left if not don't go dig any
Charlene....I had you down for : Monarda 'Rasberry Wine' , Georgia Blue Speedwell. Lyreleaf Sage also. You were going to bring me a Buffy's Doll Daylily, but if it isn't available I understand. I had to plant a lot of what I had dug for the previous swap, and gave Obed. plants away. But not to worry, I have time to dig and plenty too.
Lorraine & Phyllis......got your wants too.

As far as I know I am coming. I caught a bad head cold and fever early this week and was down and today I wake up with no phone or DSL. I had been working on somethings I wanted to trade for but bah humbug Guess it isn't happening now. Too tired and too late. As long as no fever I will be there.
But the best part is I get to see all my family. That is the most important part.
I do have these 2 trades so they will be there,
EasTexYardboy I will bring your red cascade rose
catlady I will bring your parrot lily and red cascade rose
If I missed someone LMKP
Blessings,
Sandy ^8^
For those wanting the Obedeint plant-purple, I will have plenty to go around. Also think the Ms. Doolittle is bringing some. If there is not enough folks can come to my place and get extras as they need thinning.
Shelia FW- if you still have them please save me these:
Rasberry monarda
lamium
lyreleaf sage
Thanks
DD

Sandy...Extra Vitamin C and chicken broth or noodle soup...I swear by it...used to get sinus infections several times a year until I started using them every year just before the time it would happen.
DD not to worry I know I am going to bring my niece and mom by just to see your place if nothing else
Phyllis
Just to let everyone know... I have some family matters happening this weekend, and guests arriving tomorrow night. I don't think I can leave early enough to be there by 9--it will probably be closer to 11. Don't worry; I will still get there with everything I've promised to bring. :)
Sheila, gotcha for a buffy's doll.
Charlene
Just wanted to add the link to the LINKS here.

It also has the link to YOUR trade list at the bottom of the first post.
Patty.... don't be too late cause you might miss something..lol...Just be careful and safe!!
Sheila.... once again helping us out....BUT for once..lol I l ready found mine.... can you believe it??? hehe
If I owed anyone something at the Central Texas swap, that I missed, you will get it tomorrow. I have a bunch of other things I am bringing, but last thing I need to do is bring lots of stuff home so all other trades will be done in the morning. So if anyone sees anything on my table that you want, just come talk to me. :-)
sweezel, So glad you are coming, it's been a long time. I'm sure I won't recognize your daughter.
I think when we came out to your house (for my first DG Swap!) she was 9, just about to turn 10. She's now 14 and very much a teenager - taller than me and all. Time sure flies She went to her granny's house for the weekend so she won't be joining me. It will just be me this time. My friend that I tried to get to come is going up her to place in Oklahoma and getting my hubby to go is like pulling teeth.
Oh good, I'm so glad your coming too! Drive safe, that goes for everyone:0)
I'm getting excited about this get together. It's been one of those strange nature days. Rare birds, baby lizards and to top it off some of you maybe getting baby tree frogs with in your trades. Sorry, I tried to remove as many as I could.lol
If you have anything for me, please leave the frogs.
Oh, I hope I get a baby tree frog. Don't need any plants, just frogs. :-) Can you believe I have never seen a tree frog?
Hi dde Tex,
If I haven't asked you already, could I have one of your obedient plants? I've never had one.............
We'll most likely roll in between 9:30 and 10
Oh and thanks. I just put the plants in the back of my car. They take up the whole back of my CRV. :) I have got my hose in my purse and I am being good to my leg tonight. I will be heading out of here at around 6:30 in the morning, so I should be up there by 9.

I will take as many baby tree frogs as you can gather -
Seriously!
I love those little guys!
Emma
Frog....If they would live in Central TX, I wouldn't mind giving one a ride back to my pond. I have loads of toads, and lizards to keep him company.
Cocoa I am bringin your almond with me unless you tell me you are stopping here on the way home to get it.
That is why I was asking. Don't want to take them out of the proper environment for them either. I haven't ever seen one and will be excited to take pictures. Or have the DH do it.
Sheila, I think these are the guys I have. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_tree_frog
It say's "as far West as central Texas" I think they might be happy at your home, you do know they eat cats too.lol
Well.......they suddenly got a lot more unatractive! LOL! Guess I will pass.
Thought I would have friends here for them, but mine are the light green kind. So unless I get two I guess I better pass. Wouldn't want my little froggy getting lonely.
OH.. just like mine..lol In the early spring.. I thought it was a momma and her two babies would hop on the window here in the LR were I sit at the puter.. they were sooo fast at catching the bugs!! I have 1 that lives in my bromiliad... sometimes I chase him out when I water!!r
we're getting close!! Can't wait to meet or see you again!!
If you look at the rain water as the amaryllis leaf enters you can see the legs of the bull frog that has lived here for years. He has his legs wrapped around the leaf holding himself up under the shade of the leaf. He is so big and so funny.
I call it a bull frog..his nose is kind pointed and rounded on the end.
Here is a peek under the front of the leaf at his cute face.
One of my many buckets of rain water now nurseries to hundreds of babies. I think I better watch my step after not only this buckets but all 7 buckets full get their land legs.. awwwwww how cute.
Want me to type each ones name......just joking not named yet. Not sure who is male or female. Give me time.
I love them babies.
Blessings
Sandy ^8^

Here is my little guy *-*
Emma
How cute Emma.
One more for me. This is our tree frogs.
shhhhh I think he or she was skinny dipping.....oh no does that make this x-rated...
(giggle)
Now that little guy is just as cut as can be too.
I wish I had more of them, but I've only seen the one green one. We also have a gigantic bull frog around here too.
Look forward to meeting you tomorrow. . .
Emma
Well, now I will be a bit later than I hoped. I got in my car this morning to leave and my GPS was gone. Somehow both my husband and I left both our cars unlocked last night (very rare for either) and our security light went out last week. Someone happened to find the perfect situation and hit the jackpot. Two Garmin Nuvi GPS, an 20G ipod, and a radar detector. I now have to wait for the police to come out to file a report so we will be able to make a claim. Hopefully they won't take too long since it's so early in the morning.
That is the pits! You can't trust anyone now days.
Great place to have a swap Dave! It was a beautiful area.
But....
Never again will I be that late to a swap! I just won't come.
I had 2 Black Swallowtails emerge just before we left FW and wasn't going off without releasing them. No sooner than I got them out and settled in the wind, there were 5 more...then 6. So I called a neighbor and took my emerging cage to them so they could release the butterflies when they were ready. Traffic was worse leaving late though Dallas of course.
I wasn't able to meet each of you. I feel so drained. We didn't get lunch, because we were late eating breakfast, so we just ate dessert! Rushed rushed, rushed swapping the plants, then everyone started packing up. Even the DH said we are going to get there early next time to be able to visit more! Maybe spend the night in Tyler and have breakfast with some DGers (early) LOL! He did take some random pictures of the people and the beautiful area we were at. But I won't have a clue who some of you are, sorry.
BTW I went off and left a big pump ketchup, & relish for someone to take home, but forgot to say so. I hope someone did and can use them.
Eye's,
Some how I ended up bringing home one of your bags... It is a black bag with daylilie's...... I will look after them for you until we can meet up again....
