Spring NE RU - Saturday June 28th 2008 - Part 2

Oh, {{{{{Kassia}}}}}, I hope you're feeling ok! That's too bad, 'cause we know how you loved your new job. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your Japanese beetle therapy, which I've heard can be very effective.

I'm looking forward to meeting all of you too!
I hope the weather is nice. Sunny, not too hot/humid.
What's the forecast look like, Kassia?

Nancy

Kassia - what a difficult decision! It's so important to realize that health and sanity are worth more than any amount of money. Usually things like this turn into blessings in disguise - years from now you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner!

Looking forward to OUR RU!! And thanks again for your generosity: even more so during this time.

Thanks Carrie... pray... I really need it! and when the jb arrive I will be ready for them ... I will remove every bloom so they don't eat them...

Nane, I told Pirl and Zuzu and their remarks were: oh you just wanted to be with your roses and working that much was not giving you enough time !!!! so the blessing in disguise is that I have time for gardening?

well, it's never easy to give up something good... and it was a good job, with wonderful people... and I really miss them... more than I believed I would... but it's life... maybe one day when I leave my current job I would go back... never know... I did not close the door... and I told them...

Nancy, according to the weather channel we are going to have 40% chances of rain :( hope no rain... around 80's... well I hope it does not rain...

Kassia, do we want door prizes? I have a few garden-related items - maybe for longest-traveled, stuff like that?

bring it over if you want to... I did not think about that... actually if anyone has gardening things they don't want... maybe they can find a home for it!!!

Is there such a thing as a gardening thing a gardener doesn't want???? LOL

I'd like another gardener. You know ... one about my age and single and of the opposite sex.
(Oh my!! Did I just say that!!!!!!??????)

Line forms to the left. . .

I won't be able to make it after all :-(
I'm sure it will be a good time missed.

Ohhhh too bad Deb! (Yes, you did, Candyce, I read it.)

yeah Candyce you did it!!!! well, maybe Dave should start a gardening date thing going!!!!

o no - i'm sorry Debilu!

Oh, Debilu!!
I feel so badly for you. I know how much you wanted to come.

well, can you come another day to visit me??/ well, not that I am selfish at all!!!!

Oh, bummer Deb! I'd love to meet you some other time.

I know, I can't wait to meet everyone someday.

Gosh, Deb, I am very disappointed...so wanted to meet the flesh version of you!!

Me too!

What happens if it rains?

We get wet.

;o)

Plants might not have to be watered.

Kassia has a large garage.

It's not gonna rain!
I have so decreed!

We can have a car washing party.

LOL!

I never wash my car.

I knew I'd get "wise guy" answers. You guys (or should I say gals?) are too funny!!!!

I washed and vacuumed my car for the first time in years just last week. It won't need another cleaning for a couple more years now.

Even after carrying all those dirty plants?

Bah, yup. You should've seen how many dirty plants, loads of dirt, mulch, all kinds of buggy things I've hauled in that car. Usually it gives the spiders something to eat.

I hope you guys all have a great time on Saturday at the RU and have a beautiful sunny day. Wish I was going and hoping to be able to make one some day!! Take lots of photos. Eleanor

Wish you were coming Eleanor, we'll miss you ! I do have a daylily for you...I haven't gotten around to dividing it yet but when I do you will be the first to get a piece of "Lady Eleanor".

Oh, thank you Celeste! That is so sweet of you. I have bought daylilies before because of the name such as Double Ethel (Ethel was the nickname my father called my mother) and Hudson Valley (cause I live in the Hudson Valley). Someday I want to get the clematis, Geurnsy Cream, cause I lived on a farm when i was growing up. My nephew's twin boys said Geurnsies weren't real cows cause Grandpa had holsteins, but i haven't seen a flower named holstein yet!!! LOL Sorry for rambling, but thanks again! Eleanor

I wish you were coming, too, Eleanor.

If everyone that yaps here showed up, it would be one great celebration.

you guys are right... the garage is clean... not greatly organized but by 1 am, I finished getting rid of several things and guess what the garage is presentable... I plan to have the food there so if it rains all we have to do is to come inside...

Eleanor: wish you were coming... by all means you are one of the people I really want to meet!!! and like someone above said, I wish I could meet the flesh version of you!!!

Oh, guys and gals. I am so sorry. Anna's DH just received word that a dear family friend has passed away. Services, or at least the important one for him, is tomorrow. Anna and I will not be attending the RU. I feel so bad!

I have the list of who wants what for plants. Anna and I will mail out all the requests later in the week.

So sorry Candyce would love to meet you and Anna as we are so close. Family IS more important than the RU so dont feel bad.

Thank you Sherrie, for your understanding. I hope that those of you who live close to me will stop in and visit. There is no formal invitation necessary - just a phone call to let me know you are on your way. The coffee pot is always on. And there are always your choice of weeds to pull!
