    Jazzy, didn't realize NM can get that cold in May. Do you have mostly hardy plants in your garden then? Would love to see picture. I am still experimenting with gardening

    Merry Christmas gals! Got snow last night.... and I am just bummed! 30 degrees out.... Janie gave me lots of beautiful plants, but we brought them home, and I KNEW not to bring them in.... They are still out in the car... safe !

    The pink rose bush I ordered, came, and is in my kitchen window. I don't know HOW all the plants in my garden are doing... I covered everything I could, knowing we were getting this weather.... Oh well... could have been worse...

    Going to celebrate Mother's Day Wednesday... Both our girls do this together, and that is when Janie is off, so lunch is Wednesday! She has to work today.... busiest day of the year for Florists!

    Jwow! Beautiful link of Owls! You nailed them ALL in one post... Ha!

    Loverly! Good cartoon! That's like Sassy! And WHAT procedure? Jazzy said something about that? What did I miss?

    Just want to wish all you Mom's Happy Mother's Day.... Wish I could talk to my mine....

    I am choosing gratitude today. How grateful I am to have had the most beautiful and loving mom.

    Oh shut UP miss Spooky! Hah! We got about 3-4 inches.... just now melting.... my plants are shivering under their black pots! Trying to keep them warmer... or at least not freezing.... They look okay, so far...

    The plants in my car are all huddled up together, I heard them hollering "WTH happened"? I TOLD them..... Nope, can't come out until tomorrow.... then we'll see....

    Sass! You mean you are letting DDDDDDBBBBFFFFFFFFFF OUT???? To go over THERE? I hope he minds..... Tell him.... "or else!"

    You are going to OUR place? In Celebration? Well.........okay..... Have fun!

    Happy Mother's Day gals....!

    Hi all...I am waiting for my ambien to kick in! So might wilt any moment.. hahah stuff never works that good, but better then nothing. Love the owl picture. Snow in May is just so wrong. So to answer your question-"how was your day?"

    We took all three girls, 21, 19 and 14 to the Rose Garden in Portland. First we went to a food cart area and got great Egyptian Gyros chicken, yogurt sauce, lettuce tomatoes onions, cucumbers and seasonings all wrapped up.. WOW! 5$ and I was stuffed. Nice to sit outside on a gorgeous day 74 degrees and sunny. We then walked through the garden, smelled everything. My DD1 has loved roses since she was wee little- burries her heard in the flower! Funny..she was so happy! Told us "such a good day!" The youngest was a bit bored.. 14 and roses so so. It was great to see our college age kid and catch up. The Rhododendrons there were in full bloom and old growth a good 20 feet tall and 15-20 feet across! I was in heaven. It was a very good day - flowers and everyone together and healthy - oh and sunny no rain!

    How was your Mother's Day?

Both of my girls woke up 1 hour b4 their usual time to make me breakfast...gluten free pancakes with eggs and a fruit platter .So sweet of them. It's not easy to prepare gf pancake. They gave up their sleep!!! It is usually very hard to get them up on Sunday morningsfor church. Hope u r in dream land by now cuz it took me 15 min to type this on the phone. Good nite...

    Loverly! How can you type on your PHONE?

    image

    You mean you just type on the numbers? And then you pick up the receiver, and there is a screen in there, and that's how? Haaaaaaaaaahah! We HAD one of those when I was little... And party-lines too... And our # was 0753... THAT'S how old I am! You are going under the knife WEDNESDAY? I don't know anything about that surgery, but I will be in your pocket... Wear something with pockets, and write my name on a piece of paper.. and I will be with you.... okay? And then as soon as you get home, let us know .... And make your driver stop and get you a chocolate coke and a big juicy burger!

    Okay, and SASS! Good lord you made it out alive! He beHAVED!

    And Rosie, don't give her any ideas..... I told her she can't marry that ner-do-well (orhoweveryouspellthat) He might be nice and all, and whatEVER, but neither she nor my Daughter can marry these people! They can only keep them around as helpful friends.... that's it! When you need your furnace fixed, call THEM.... or pictures hung... stuff like that.

    Rosie, that sounds sooooooo good!

    YES! SNOW! But I don't think it hurt my plants.... Can't tell yet... We are soooooooo lucky to not be around those Tornado's!

    I watched that rescue last night, on the Weather channel, about those 2 morons who thought their pick-up truck could swim across rising water! It was all filmed live! Finally that military Black-hawk Helicopter came to rescue them....! I would have drug them through the river awhile, just to knock some sense into them. Hope they have to PAY for that rescue.... That one dip-chit was shown on his PHONE while he sas on top of the truck.... they intercepted his tweets, etc!

    Cute little OWL Loverly! Have a great day gals!

    Loveroflife- good luck with your final preparation for this week and we will be in your pocket on Thursday. It will be good to be on the other side of that TE being out. I did not have that, but my sister did and she was glad when it was gone.

    Winter seems to have moved on through and it should be back to the 70s today! It is a beautiful morning starting out here, and I spent some time on the patio to meditate and do some journaling before my day gets going.

    Chevy- are you warming up too?

    Lovelife- Wow you txt all that on your phone! Amazing.. Your breakfast in bed sounds terrific! What are your kids ages? I remember all those eggs and bits of shell from their efforts at cracking.. haha Well now they are older and no shells. You had a good day too. No gardens near where you live? We lived in CA for 12 years and Sacto and Davis and the Bay Area have nice gardens. I have been to a few in San Diego. That's all I know of. We will be with you for your surgery- wishing you well.

    Chevy you make me laugh. Maybe it will be Sassy's DS and his girlfriend who get married and make Sassy a Grandma! More pictures! I am glad all your plants made it. All our sunny weather has flown the coop! It's cold and rainy. Thank goodness I put our senile old dog in the kitchen last night apparently she christened the entire thing with poo and piddle. Sucks getting old. DH is a very mellow person to have cleaned it up before work. yucky.. now everything mells like lysol. I just can't put her down... sigh... even though she's going on 18 years old and losing her little doggy marbles and ability to hold it.

    I have an oncology appointment this morning. I hate going to the doctor.... such is life in cancerland.

    Thanks Jazzy!!! It's actually this Wednesday. Can't wait to be at the end of this process. The tissue expander is not the most comfortable thing.

    Ms. Chevy, if the plastic surgeon gives me a double D or if he makes me lopsided, could you come out of my pocket and yell at him for me? Can't do the heavy DD because I will fall over flat on my face. They will sit me up to make sure I'm even. Just make sure you don't fall out when they do that. I am so disappointed that I won't be awake to suck in my stomach to make itlook flatter when they do that. Btw, I love the video. Love her feistiness

    Loveroflife- in your pocket Wednesday! I promise! Get that TE out and onward to reconstruction!

    Rose- I hope your apt this morning goes well. In your pocket too. I hate the cancer doc visits too. Mine start up in late July again.

    Jaz- thanks.. glad that is over with for 6 weeks. I need to learn complaining doesn't help. Ah the games in cancerland, never can tell how the board is played, it's depressing. Going to the oncologist always puts me in a funk. Blondie's onc did scans to decide where she was in regards to hospice.

    Just got an email from the folks who monitor water pressure up at the cabin. I guess our big water holding tank and the spring that feeds it is only 1/4 full. There has not been enough rain, run off or snow pack to fill it. It could seriously run dry by the summer or when everyone is up at the cabins on holiday weekends. In 8 years this has never happened. The drought is seriously even hitting Oregon, on the Western rainy side! Oy I am shocked. Conservation is the key until the rains return. Here it is not even June and the lake it 1/2empty and the springs running low. So poor old CA isn't the only state with water issues! Just saw the news and our snow pack is 11% of normal, the highest snow pack anywhwere in Oregon is 13% of normal and the Southern Klamath Falls area the snow pack is ZERO. What the heck are we going to do in August and September?? OY folks. WOW. Water is life treat as nectar of the Gods!

    Be well ya'll.

    Rose- I have had similar experiences with healthcare that resulted in poor or pure wrong care. Despite cancer being such a huge thing in our country, you would think they would do better with us. I am sorry your visit was not great. You deserve better.
