well, i finally got it all packed up today. but didn't make it to the PO. maybe tomorrow.
isn't every place out of TX north of me?
i am NOT giving any hints. i personally am willing to bet she likes surprises and would like anything i send...
I would join a swap like that like! Where we could get anything garden or yard oriented but it has to come from a yard sale or thrift shop! Now that would be fun.
evening all,
oh what a wonderful surprise i came home to thank you jen_d i love ducks to begin with and this one is so cute!! will make a fine addition to my yard just so cute..
and the hummingbird feeder is beautiful! wonderful colors on it thank you for the nasturtium seeds always is a favorite in the garden and the humming bird nectar.
Hey everybody...
Please forgive me, I have my box all ready to go for my buddy but I have no clue when I will get it to the P.O.
On the 25th we had to rush my mother to the hospital, and she was diagnosed with cancer in her lungs, bones, and adrenal glands. Please keep my family in your prayers as I have people traveling throughout the world simultaneously, as the prognosis is very poor and worsening.
I have been at the hospital almost 12 hours daily and this is my first opportunity to check my email and boards.
Thanks in advance for your prayers and understanding. I will get it out asap.
Antoinine, I'm sure everyone in here will agree, your family is much more important that a box. Thoughts and prayers are going out to you. And your family too Gen. Life is so short, and family is first.
So sorry to hear about your mother, Antoinine! You are in my thoughts and prayers. My Mom passed three years ago. Her cancer began with breast cancer and ended up in her bones. I know what you are going through. If you have hospice available in your area, I highly recommend them. They were such a great help during both my MIL and my Mother's last days.
Take care and know that others are understanding and keeping good thoughts and prayers for you and your family.
Please everyone, don't worry, all of us know family comes first. We are all patient and gentle people and we do understand. Prayers are going out to all of you and your families.
I agree with Robynzest! But, TexasLizzy, if you are sharing BBQ, I will volunteer to be your Secret Swap!!! lol
I got my gift today and hopefully will have it ready to go before end of week.
Those of you with family problems, take care of them first. They should come first everytime. :~)
Echoing majority's sentiments here, Antoinine. If we were your neighbours, we'd be right there giving you a hand.
Texaslizzy, I'll wait a month for Tx style bbq brisket!

Antionine, please know you and family are in our
prayers. Family comes first! Do what you can when
you can and let it be easy. You know we all understand
hardship.
toni, sent you a d-mail. take care of your mother, and don't fret over this swap
Toni...praying for all of you...
My swap buddy box was mailed yesterday. It was hard to let it go, as it is something I love and they only had one of them!!!! Sure hope she likes it.
My swap buddy box is mailed today! I hope
it arrives safe and sound, and that she likes it!!
Out for delivery !
Hey all...I know Brandi's still deciding on a swap, but hoping this hasn't stepped on her toes...I started a swap for addicts like us!
It's the Red, White and Blue swap.
Come on over..

I forgot, I got so involved about Toni, but I think Cat has a GREAT idea!!! A swap where the item has to come from a Garage Sale or Thrift Store....wouldn't that be FUN???
Goodmorning everyone! I FINALLY located something...... the ONLY one they had with the xxx on them that I was searching for so I snatched it up. Found another interesting goodie to put with it that I sure hope my buddy likes.....
Have it boxed up and ready to go to the post office or UPS today depending on what time I get off work and which one is still open......
The goodie box will be headed South - and will hopefully arrive by Friday.....
Thanks everyone for the well wishes for my MIL - thankfully, at the moment, she is doing some better and has been moved to the nursing home. She is not a happy camper - but she likes that better than the hospital alternative.
Antoinine, so sorry to hear about your mother. I know how difficult that type of diagnosis is on everyone. I will keep your family in my prayers......

Sorry to hear about your mother. It is always hard when a family member is sick. Your family always comes first and you have all the hugs that I can send your way.

Wow, just back from Mexico where I took my Mom for her birthday. I got my buddies gift ordered today, and of course had to get one for me too! :) I could have gotten something from Mexico, but I never made it off the beach, unless empty beer bottles is on her wish list :~{)
Toni you are in my prayers
Hey, I don't drink so the empty beer bottles would be great for me ... I could make a bottle tree with them!

This is the first time I have ever seen the Catalog and I Have no idea what too get I am starting a Black and white container with Bulbs as soon as I get them now I have to think of some others colors to start. I am not very good at watering outside so this is going to be great I will update when I no what I want LOL that is going to take some time and some more pay checks LOL
Thanks
Kim (Dimmer)
Everythig I have ordered from that company came in really good shape Kim. I don't think you can go wrong no matter what you order.
It's the best company to buy from if you don't like to do the watering.
Kim, I hope they have more flamingos for ya!
Do they have a High Country Gardens website? N'er mind...I'll check.
Yes Kim and her flamingos...LOL She love them... but hey we all like what we like... they are cute.
