East Texas Fall RU, Saturday October 11th 2008 Pt 2

Sorry, Becky... that video is a very touching story about a teenagers fight. She's such a lovely young lady.

mm wonder if you can save it to your computer and send it in an email to watch .....will have to check that out

I've tried many times to download UTUBE videos ... never been successful at it.
If you find a way... please share.

I have Diabetes, and so does my husband. My Gfather died from complications as well, and my mother has it and is insulin dependant. It is an awful disease. Very touching video....

I agree, the video is very nice. You can put me down for a donation.
Linda Kay

bummer nope can't what about mom sending you the file she used when she uploaded it?

I'll ask her... didn't even think about that... duh !!!

Karen... that little girl is doing all she can to get donations that just might find a cure to this horrible disease... I'm so sorry your family has been so plagued with diabetes...

All you have to do is click on the link above and once it opens, just go to the top left corner of the page and click on file, scroll down and click on send link by email. Just fill in the email part, and off it goes.
Linda Kay

But, then how do you get it to download onto your hard drive?

Ok, try this. go to you tube and do a search for junior diabetes, and you will see alist on the side of videos to click on. When you find the one you want to save, right click and save target as. That should work.
Let me know.
Linda Kay

Everyone attending with or without plants please stop by the food thread

we need to get it going -finished up and a head count on it please

Will someone please help me out here. I saw a post on one of the TX RU threads about making halloween decorations out of gourds. I can't find it anywhere. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Charlene

OHHH Point it out to me too....I Love gourds and have a lot of them already dried and in my shed.

OOOPS...I came by here to post that I have added ya'll to the Round Ups at a Glance thread! LOL

I had to come back to show you one I made a few years ago....then I stored it up on a shelf...a mouse ate the top off...got all the seeds out of the gourd...then stored his stolen dog food in it. LOL Jo

LOL cute JO thanks for sharing I am looking to see if I can find the post now about doing it

Hi there, I'm wondering if a displaced ETXan from ARK might drop in if i can get there that saturday. My DD and lots of other relatives live in Arp,Kilgore, and Longview. We raised our kids in Overton. Than moved to the mountains when we retired. It's nice to hear Frankston and Flint mentioned. Beleive we played Frankston in Sports.

I can bring a few plants to trade and a sugar Free desert for food. But will be iffy as i will go down to Longview Thursday and will really have to save money to make another trip. But sure would like to come.

Have a great day.
Vickie

Sure we would welcome a former East Texan to our gathering, Vickie. In fact, we've let a couple slip in that never lived in East Texas. LOL We'll be looking for you.

OH Vickie by all means come on down!!!!!!!!!
Plants or no plants anyone is welcome to come you don't have to live in Texas to come we welcome from all states!!!

Come on Vickie, we'd love to meet you!!!! I live in Frankston, and we've played Arp and Overton many many times over the years!

I know you live in a beautiful area, the mountains of Arkansas are the only thing that could move me away from East Texas. Just beautiful there. Hoping to see you there! Karen

They are letting this Okie in so I am sure you are more than welcome. Hey I do have texas roots. My daddy was born in texas. My grandparents are born in Vernon, and my aunt lives there.

I dub you both honorary Texans... now, ya'll come, ya hear?

he he he

I always say, the more the merrier!!!
Linda Kay

yee haw the more the merrier LOL

ROFL LK we crossed each other in posting the same thing

Thanks so very much. Really looking forward to it.
Vickie

Love to meet you Vickie... we might almost make you want to move back.. hehe

Am back from Kilgore. Did i ever have fun looking for bargains yesterday afternoon.Have been trying to find a plastic watering can since june. Not one around anywhere locally. I stopped on the way to Kilgore at a Dollar General and they had 5 AND on sale 70% off. I BOUGHT ALL 5. YES!!! :^D

Karen, I asked DD if she remembered playing Frankston in Basketball. She not only remembered but also the score. Seems it was the first girls basketball game for Overton. Frankston won 102 to 2. LOL we figured it had to have been 1977.

Have wished several times i could move back but i own my land and home here. it would simply mean i'd lose money by moving back. so here i stay and go visit when i can. The people who bought our house in Overton kept the flowers and trees like i planted them so i always injoy driving by to look at them.

I like the diabetic donation idea also. lot of folk in my family with diabetis including me.

BJ, Be there with bells on! (thats aggie bells yall)
Vickie

My my Vickie, that is so funny your daughter remembers that. She and I must be close to the same age? I graduated in 1980, so I would have been in 9th grade that year...Seems like yesterday. So looking forward to meeting you!

I'm new to Dave's Garden and just found this thread. What is the Fall Round Up? I kind of glean from the posts that it is a place for gardeners to get together to talk plants and even trade a few. Is that right? I was born in Amarillo and moved to Fla as an adult. I lived there for 28 years. Just moved back to Texas and settled in Palestine. I have a lot to learn and would love to pick some folks brains.

WELCOME to Dave's Garden and the TExas forum.
Please do come to the RU on the 11th!!
you can pick everyone's brain and have alot of fun wtih us.

Phyllis

There's not much on my brain anymore to pick... but I'd love to visit with you a while.

Hey Texasgrower! You are just about 30 minutes from me. I live in Buffalo.
Do you grow professionally?
Charlene

Thankyou Linda for the Link. I will check it out. BJ I bet you have more to pick in your brain than you think. Phyllis, I will do my best to be there for the fun. Charlene it's nice to find someone so close who likes gardening too. I don't grow professionally. I did just buy my first greenhouse though. But only 6x8. I love growing anything.

Thanks to everybody for being so nice. I will definately plan to be there. Look for the bright red Monte Carlo Pace Car. That's Grammy's ride, a mother's day gift from 2003.

Welcome Txgrower!! Will be looking forward to meeting you!!

Welcome TexasGrower! I live in Frankston, husband works in Palestine! I go there every other Friday to pick up the all important paycheck, LOL! Please do come to the RU, it is great fun, good food and good people! Karen

Karen, and TXgrower, we will have to meet in Palestine. That is my nearest Walmart and of course there are occassions that I need to go there.
Charlene

Charlene, sounds like a plan. Karen and I will have to make plans to meet you at Wally World. Or there is this nice Tea Room down the Elkhart Hwy. Jeanne

Someone dmailed me and asked me to post here about whether I'll be in attendance. The answer is, of course, yes, I will be there. ^_^
