ohhhhh .....*drooling* a trip to RJ's place........sigh......I would love to come but if we are gonna go back up north in august to visit family I don't think DH will let me as it would cu8t into the gas for the trip...but my thoughts will be with ya all having fun.
Interest Poll to repeat HOUSTON AREA PLANT SWAP -JULY19or26
I live out about 40 + miles but if I don't have company that one time in yrs. I would have room for one or 2 if you don't mind a love seat that opens into a bed or a blow up mattress.
Would love to have someone stay. I have 2 mini dogs and don't smoke.
Would give me a great excuse to stop being such a recluse since Dennis died. I only leave the house maybe 2 times a month if I can convince myself I really need to eat. (Haven't lost an ounce)
Blessings,
Sandy ^8^

Ok so when is it? I have to lay in a supply of rope so that I can tie up the bf and drag him.
Just tell him there will be plenty of food, adult beverages. and other men there, too. And we talk about a lot more than gardening - lol.
JULY 26th Saturday
Thanks RJ. I've already told hubby what's going on and now I can tell him when he'll have to cook (since I'll be leaving him behind)! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
LOL.....just leave him some frozen dinners.
PPPbbbbtt! This gal don't buy frozen dinners. I'll just cook "big" the week before and he'll have plenty of leftovers to choose from. If I'm lucky, there'll be enough leftover so I won't have to cook when we get home either! HAHAHAHA
That's what I like to do too...cook big and live off the left overs
Woohoo! I'll be there for sure and I'll be dragging Cannagirl with me!
It will be so nice to meet you all!
Caren
Good, that's why it's on the 26th!
Aaaahh Just for me?? How sweet!
Thank ya!!
Caren
It is the 26th?? Woohoo....I can come! Count me in!
:) Kim
Great! Will have the opportunity to meet some awesome people.
LouC
The date of the 26th is great. DH and I will be there. What do we need to bring?
I recommend bringing a dish to compliment brisket, or dessert.
We'll need someone on beverages.
Because there were so many folks last year, bringing your own lawn chair or portable chair is recommended- We did fine, but we did use the extra chairs last year.
Bring 1 can of off.
To make it fun, bring at least one plant that is not pre-traded- last year all of the the ones that weren't pre-traded went very fast!
Again...bringing plants are optional...do not feel you HAVE to bring plants...Last year I think we were giving plants away to pedestrians walking by the swap.
I'll bring an assortment of pop along with my brownies for those of us who don't do "adult beverages." LOL ^_^
I will bring 6 2-liters of drinks. 2-coke 2-diet coke and 2-7-up and a 24 pk of water.
Blessings,
Sandy ^8^
Yes..yes...thanks for beverages..always seem to be a little short on those..so thanks!
I can bring something sweet, maybe a blackberry buckle.
Tabitha
mmmm
kindly post food items here...that way I can keep track

Sorry, I got distracted and then looked at the posts just above mine and forgot what thread I was on.
no worries...I did too
Hey Randy....Finally got here and you all sound like you're going to have some fun July 26th. Would love to join everyone and meet some of Dave's Garden folk. I can bring food but I have not plants to share as I just moved here.
I especially liked the box of crinum bulbs. lol
Anne
and no that wasn't a dessert item, lol
Count me in please. My sister lives in Tomball, so I will be bringing her along. She doesn't have plants to share, but she does have an almost empty new yard to fill. I will bring plants and she can have the trades.
Charlene
Sounds like if anyone wants a parking spot on RJ's street, ya need to get there mighty early! What time will this shindig get started Randy?
Oh, don't count me in, yet, but I'm thinking I'm going to make it. This summer has been nuts around here, so I haven't even been on the board much.
Glad you'll be here Fancy Flea
Say..anyone who wants to get rid of excess plants, this is a perfect opportunity as there will be 3 or 4 folks here that probably could use some.
I'm thinking we'll start same as last year...around 9am or 9:30am...so it's still cool...Yes last year the street really did fill up! I'll leave the driveway open again for load and unload only.
I'm coming!
Lou

So far as I know Bill and I will be there. I'm changing jobs after 13 yrs and have a ton of stuff to move. So hopefully we will be through with the move by then. We look forward to seeing everyone.
Anne
rj and all, I had thought that finally after missing last year's RUs I would be able to get to this one in Houston. Thought wrong. Getting a new hip instead on July 15. Maybe this fall...... or next spring.
Ann
Well, your welcome over anytime...mabe a private Tea, or wine?
Rj
What a sweetheart you are! The Scotch is on me.
Ann
Bummer - Ann! Was looking forward to seeing you there.
I'm thinking that perhaps I can feel a couple of years younger after the surgery. Won't that be a kick=--------
Ann
Uh oh - Does that mean we will have to have our guard up ?
Y'all are priceless! Thanks for the laughs!
Ann
Ann, you and I together will have to have a "starting over" party. I am having spinal surgery the 31st. The reason we had to cancel. They keep saying I will feel like brand new.....hhhhmmmmmm.
