Check in (generic- LOL!!!!)

Hey, everyone

I miss yas! I want to take a few minutes away from the pile of W-2's and copies of Social Security cards to say hi!

I lurk when I can but not much time. Tax season is always like this; at first, the ones with refunds coming want them right now, and then it slows down and then there is a grand finale on April 15, when the ones that have to pay, like us, finally file our tax forms and send in our checks! ;-(

Hubby & I had a wonderful 5-day cruise early January- everyone should go at least once! My bed finally stopped rocking after we were home for 4 days! Had to come back to reality and homecooked meals, instead of gourmet food and being waited on hand and foot!!

I got my brug seeds planted. Waited til after the cruise to do them, so they were planted on the 15th of January. I wish us all luck, those growing seeds.

.............And, may we all avoid the mites and other critters the rest of the winter. I have had aphids, and did the Murphy's Oil Soap dip- that worked! And I have Forbid and Avid ready, just in case. Still have some brug seedpods hanging on- will have lots of seeds. Need volunteers- I'll let yas know the crosses and when they are ready!

Two more months and I can move my brugs outside on warm days. We had a few 70's days in December, and I let the plants have a fresh drink of water in fresh air for a few days, anyway. It was nice! Now, frigid wind, and some flurries now and then here in NE GA. My 60th Birthday is this week and boy, my aching knees in this cold are telling my age!!

Lucy, I'm keeping that lucky coin handy- thanks so much!!!!

Take care, all- you're in my thoughts often!

Brenda wow that sounds like a thing of a lifetime. Where did the cruise go to? Had to laugh and I am not sure how I would do with the rocking thing lol.

Tempting to take the brugs for a little fresh air. Glad you got your seeds planted. Crossing my fingers or should I say good luck with your crosses? lol

Of course you know I have always been a big Volunteer so why stop now rofl

You got a SPECIAL birthday.......oh man....WHEN? Do we know?

So glad you took a few minutes to stop by. You know of course that we miss you a whole lot! But work always comes first.

Hugs

Hey Brenda, I want in too. I'll try my hand at growing some of your seeds. Got plenty of space to plant them little suckers.

May your birthday be special and filled with lots of gifts and surprises.

God Bless you and Yours, Love Marian

Brenda, great that you had a bit of time to check in here. I can just imagine how busy tax time must be. Sounds like you had a great time on your cruise. I would probably be sea-sick the entire time and would have to have a patch or take something for it. Happy birthday, but we will leave that for another post!

I'm so glad you had a good time on the cruise. I would like to hear more about it too. I have always wanted to go on one. Those are going to be some great crosses if they come from your plants no matter what they are, lol. Tax time is the pits. I hope I am well enough to at least finish putting the plastic up on the greenhouse. Then I can get my friend to finish the wiring and I can at least start using it while I finish the hardi board on the outside. Happy Birthday from me as well. Love ya!

Early happy Bday. Glad you got away for a nice vacation. I won't go on a cruise but I have no problem sailing, water skiing or fishing for the day. DH loves cruises so I told him to find a girlfriend to take. lol

Hi Brenda... good to hear from you after so long. The cuttings are doing great, and I am looking forward to a spring with many blooms from a dear person. I, too, am not big on the whole cruise thing. Laura wants to do it real bad. Maybe Karyn's DH can take her.

Brenda,

Nice to hear from you. I'm so glad you had a wonderful time on your cruise. I would love to go on a cruise one day. Not sure I will be able to convince my husband into going.

Taxes...yes, you must really be busy. Ick! We are still waiting for all the W-2's to come in the mail. I sure hope we get money back this year. ha ha.

Glad your back. I would love to see photos of your seedlings once you get them growing.
