Morning all

Barb good to see you and its great about the move.

Had a PM from Isabella a few days ago , her back was still causing a lot of pain and she had been seen by the emergency doc again for pain relief but hadn't got much. Will PM her again and see how she is.

Big hugs to all.

Barbara, best of luck with the move, and I hope you have a great time on the cruise. Hugs.

Alyson, I PM'd Isabella too and hope we hear something soon.

Barb, the new house looks beautiful.  Have a wonderful time on the cruise!

Would one of you who know Isabella best ask for her Daughters contact info for an emergency. I feel protective of our group and am afraid for anyone to just disappear.

Hi everyone

Alyson

Hello

QCA

Hey.  (That's what we say down South!)

SoCalLisa

come on back here...

Alyson

A seagull watching me drink my coffee!!

Alyson, that reminded me so much of a conference I attended in Laguna Beach, CA a few years ago. Our hotel was right on the Pacific and I had a great balcony. Every time I was in the room, seagulls would come to the balcony and "talk" to me! Here's a shot I was able to catch of one of them.

This was another shot from my room, looking toward the left one night. Tough to have to go out of town for business!!! I miss those years when our company was doing well enough to send me to conferences. Had some great times in great locations with great people.

SoCalLisa

glad you could enjoy our west coast Mary

Alyson..that bird looks like he has an eye on your coffee, watch out..

I saw this bird in the living desert Monday, I love his blue eyeshadow

Hey pals! Going nuts since walk through is Wed. And closing is Thursday. Then cruise Friday. OMG. Then moving 4/12. Holy cow! Love to all.

marlegal

Deep breaths! You'll be more than ready for the r&r the cruise offers.

So many good things happening at once can be as stressful as so many bad things happening at once!! Go figure....

SoCalLisa

You will really, really enjoy the down time on a cruise!

SoCalLisa

Must be spring..

QCA

Beautiful, Lisa!  Our irises haven't even thought about blooming yet!

Kathy

SoCalLisa

I love this time of year!

marlegal

Spring? Is that when it stops snowing and the temperatures are over 50? Nope, haven't seen that around here yet

Gingerbrew

One of my big huge Rhododendron bushes in the front of the house is in bloom, all pink very pretty. I owe a debt of gratitude to whoever landscaped this house with so very many beautiful blooming busghes and trees. I havent even counted how many there are but they are gorgeous.  There are also azaleas, camelias, in addition to the rhodies. 

Everywhere they planted a grouping of trees they surroiunded them with these beautiful bushes.

I love Rhododendrons..we don't have them here, but I saw some forsythia when we were up on the mountain Tuesday...that doesn't grow down here either..

Lucky you having all those planted..I bet it is beautiful..we need pix

Gingerbrew

I'll ask husband for some photos.   On the other hand we don't grow avacados here!  I love avacados, my aunt down in Glendora had them in her backyard. So yummy. 

Hugs Ginger

SoCalLisa

Guess we can't have everything!

SoCalLisa

I just love spring flowers...

Gingerbrew

Me too and then a few weeks from now I am enthralled with English Garden flowers. Stalky Holly Hock, all sort of stalky flowers and the fragile daisylike flowers that look elevated and very slender stems. VIOLAS, lILY OF THE vALLEY, Johnny Jump Ups. later Nasturtiums.  Oh so many!     

Love Ginger

Thanks Connie..

Hi ladies,

My apologies if prev message was abrupt or rude, it wasnt meant to be.



See, theres a group of us that met a lady on here about 4 or 5 years ago and some of us bonded with her. We just found out that we lost her, this weekend. In a lot of ways it was caused by BC but instead was even more tragic and horrific.

Some may remember SV. She was wild and free, lived alone, remotely. God, did she love the wild rawness of nature. To those who missed knowing her, as she was actually banned from this entire web site, well, she was the most unique friend, ever.



When I am stunned, as I am right now, I tend to write. I may not continue on here, but just in case i'll apologize for that in advance.



You would have loved her too.

~Connie
