    Goooooooooooood morning everyoneeeeeeeeeeee!!

    too cheery ? did I wake you up? hehe

    It's cold here and it's never cold here this early in the Fall!! I need some help planting out plants.. any helpers out there?? lol I'll feed you... :)

    So bunny .. our latest financial disaster.. that roof leak. Got my son up on the roof who came back with the news that the roof is actually sinking in in a few spots. joy.

    wonder how many tarps lowe's has.. and how many bricks it'll take to cover the whole roof..lol

    ugh!

    maybe I can find a bright orange one and claim it's Halloween decor... and then it can also fit into the Fall/thanksgiving decor... then maybe I can find a bright red one that'll look like a welcome mat for Santa's sleigh... that would also work great for Valentine's of course.. multi-purpose color tarping.. who knows?? maybe it's the next big thing !!!

    trying to keep up a sense of humor about this! :)

    We're going to a 'Taste of..' event where you get to walk around and sample all the restaurants in the area's yummy foods and all the quaint lil stores will be open for us to browse thru. It's in the town I lived in as a small child, and one of the last places my mom took me on a 'tour' of before she died. she had me drive around and see where my great grammy lived and the restaurants my g'father took me to ever sunday as a child. It was a lot of good memories. sadly the place that was my first home has been knocked down and turned into a car lot. progress eh? but it'll be a day of fun and memories I think.

    Later on we'll all be planting out plants that need to get in the ground and bringing in the BIG plants that have been basking in the sun all summer long. Leaves are everywhere already. I love to watch the cat and dogs chase the leaves in the wind..cheap entertainment! lol

    Hope everyone has a nice weekend!
    Hugs,

    Ameila, your package went out today and I emailed you the conf#.

    Joan

  • 17 years ago

    Bunny, I'm sorry your package didn't so out today. I made it as far as the car and realized I wasn't going to have the energy to walk through the store to pick up the final things I needed. It's been a really bad couple of weeks.
    I'll mail Monday. I even had to have my daughter come this evening and go make a Fall-Apart run for me because I knew I couldn't do it and I was out of stuff.

    On a good note, I received your box today. It was a great "I don't want to grow up" theme box. It contained

    tulip bulb Happy Generation very pretty
    tulip bulbs Merry Go Round beautiful red color
    sixlets candy I loved these as a kid
    Lindor chocolate balls Never had these
    Halloween suckers
    Spiced Apple Cider
    Spided Autumn Tea
    Cocoa spice tea
    brown sugar and fig body lotion
    mulled cider candle
    candy apple body lotion
    two giant halloween suckers
    grape lipbalm
    two Oscar Meyer weiner whistles (How cool!)
    Burt's Bees day lotion (my dermatologist thanks you too)
    homemade cinnamon grape jelly (can't wait to try it)
    stickers
    a flower cross-stitch kit
    Believe! magnets
    gel pens
    a Peanuts Wisdom book about cookies

    Fun seeds like (will have to google most of these)
    paper embedded wildflower seeds
    snake gourds
    sunflower sunspot
    hollyhock double yellow
    pumpkin Jack O Lantern

    Wendy~ Some of the fanciest houses around here have tarps hanging from them in various places! LOL
    Seriously...UGH...hate to hear that about your roof! That stinks in the worst way. Good thing is, though, that you can do spot repair if the damage isn't too wide spread. That'll buy some time before you need to replace the entire roof. I know your pain, I truly do....the beams holding our roof up are sagging in the middle & bowed out....so our roof is not flat at all. It's like a giant sink hole in the middle. :O)

    Hey, on the bright side...they DO make camo tarps, so maybe the neighbors wouldn't notice! LOL And after you get your roof fixed, and have no more use for the tarp, you can get the "Blue Tarp Bible"....it's a great book with all sorts of ideas for using tarps! The boys love ours....we have so many tarps, it just ain't funny. In fact....that is the current roof of our shed that got damaged during that ice storm. A tree took the roof off, so we've had a tarp up there ever since. It ain't perty, but it works! :O)

    Becky~ I'm glad you got your box & I hope you enjoy it. The kids loved packing it for you. :O) The grape jam is made from Tontitown grapes, grown just 2 miles from my house. We buy bushels of them every year...there's nothing better than a home grown grape!

    I hope everyone has had a great weekend so far.
    Stay warm & be safe!

    Bunny your DC #0308 2690 0001 9960 2054

    I got sent home from school today because I had a fever over 100. I felt like a kid! Apparently that is the policy during flu season. I wasn't feeling that bad, I just wanted to know if I had a fever. Geesh!

    Hi everyone, hope everyone enjoyed the sunshine today ( even though it was monday and I had to go to work ... I did get a chance to enjoy it at lunchtime, for the first time in 4 days... but I must admit it was a good thing that I had no good excuse to not stay indoors and catch up on some much needed housework this weekend !

    Becky, are you out of school again today, young lady? I hope you're feeling better! The stuff going around is so hard to kick...A close friend of mine has been sick since August, and antibiotics aren't doing ANY good!
    H1N1 has hit hard here, too. A local school has over 100 students out with it (their entire enrollment, K-12 is only 1100 students!), and those are just the REPORTED cases! They've got more students absent, but aren't confirmed cases.

    Yikes.

  • 17 years ago

    Yes, I was out again today. I had to go 24 hours without a fever before I could go back to work. I'm going back tomorrow. We've had a lot of students out also.

  • 17 years ago

    I got Jessied's box out yesterday (lost a day somehow, thought Tuesday was the 19th - oops).

    I recieved her box with all kinds of goodies. She was so thoughtful, she sent tons of seeds in the cooler colors that I have in my garden even though here theme was "Warm Colors, Cool Treats". I devoured the Twix candies - yum!!! She sent a reblooming Iris, purple tulips (which are chillin' in the fridge) Camassia bulbs, candy corn, caramel apple lollypops, lots of Hollyhock seeds and others in yummy colors, a kitty toy that Misty adores and treats for her too. Thanks soooo much Jessie :)

  • 17 years ago

    Margo's box went out Tuesday, USPS #0308 2040 0000 7895 9263.

    Be back later!

  • 17 years ago

    Everyone else posted pics, I don't have any old ones uploaded to my computer. This one is from this weekend. My Daugher was showing me how the built in camera worked on my laptop. I had no idea where to look. ;)
    Now that I know how it works, I'll post a better pic soon.
    Hopefully, this one isn't too blurry from being downsized.

    Hugs,
    Deb

    Wendy,

    Leah's box is scheduled for delivery today according to the USPS website.

    Margarita10

  • 17 years ago

    I received my box from Deb yesterday but just now had the chance to sit down and post. My 16 year old son came home sick on Monday with all the symptoms of the H1N1 so it is assumed it is what he has. He is feeling better but now my 17 year old daughter is home with it. I am trying to call the doctor to see if I can get her some Tamiflu to help her out. The symptoms are headache, severe aching, high fevers, (Taylor hit 103.1 and Emily is 102.5 last check), cough, possibly nausea and diarreah. Taylor had it all and Emily has it all as well as vomiting. It is rough.

    Since I have been a nurse all week, I was excited to receive my box. The contents were as follows and keep in mind it is themed "for the birds" and Deb got quite creative.

    a pack of 12 tulip bulbs (Parrot)
    Cardinal figurine
    Red Ruby grass seed which Deb mentioned her birds love
    A leaf cutting from Savannahs Mocking Bird streptocarpus
    Hen and Chicks, red which I do not have
    A really neat metal and glass Hummingbird feeder. I am definitely going to put this out next year. I haven't seen hummers here yet but after the smorgesborg I have planted for them for the last three years, I think it just might be their year.

    The following are not bird related but fun anyway,
    a pregnant onion houseplant start
    Cookies and cream candy

    Thank you Deb for the great box. I appreciate everything.

    I hope everyone and their family stays healthy and if by chance the flu strikes, make sure they take tylenol or ibroprophen round the clock and drink lots and lots of fluids. It lasts for several days so make sure the sick person keeps their patience cause it isn't fun.

  • 17 years ago

    I received my box from Heidi today- Chocolate and Vanilla included:
    small white pumpkin
    chocolate caramel coffee

    fancy feast appetizers for my Jack
    Mt Everest Allium bulbs
    tootsie rools
    a pair of earrings
    snickers
    ginger cookies with recipe
    hellebore seedlings
    glade candle and
    seeds from her garden.
    Thank you!

    Please, no hugs from me... I wouldn't want you to get whatever it is I'm dealing with. I much prefer to send out seeds and bulbs, not germs and viruses. I think I'm going to go get some more tequila, I'm out now. I don't know if it's working, but it sure he;ps me sleep!

  • 17 years ago

    I received a wonderful box from Linda late last week. I have only peeked in but I saw some great things in there including assorted teas. I will have a cup tomorrow as I go through it and will be back to post the contents.

    My "On a Misty Morn" box from Linda was very special. I hope I am not leaving anything out, but here are the highlights:
    Thalia daffodils
    Ollioules Tulips
    Dutch Iris, mixed colors
    A package of Jiffy 7's that I will definitely be using.
    Wonderful hand knit warm slippers-just my size!
    "The Ultimate Gardener" a book which I look foward to reading while I am trying to ignore winter and waiting for spring.
    A glass mug with assorted teas and hot cocoa. I love the clear mug and I am having the citrus spice tea right now.
    A little pot pre-seeded with forget-me-nots for spring
    and a large box of "Creepy Cakes" just for me. I have never seen Creepy Cakes before-too cute!
    Thank you Linda. Everything is perfect including the beautiful Thomas Kincaid postcard!

    HAPPY PART...
    Okay, the votes are in, and the judges have made their final decision! The winner of the picture contest is Joan, with her pictorial contribution of "LEGS"...lol!!! It was a tough decision, and all the pictures were great, but what really won it for Joan was our fear of what she was holding behind her back in the picture, and whether or not she'd use it on us! LOL!!! Joan, put the chainsaw down!!!
    Now all I need is Joan's address (can't find it anywhere here on this computer... Bump's been "organizing" files again!) and her prize will be on it's way!

    Thanks to Everyone who participated and came through with their trade! You all made this swap a great one!

    UNHAPPY PART, BUT SADLY NECESSARY
    We unfortunately had one person fail to follow through on her end of a trade, and yes, I'm talking about Leah/dancingrabbit. The last time she posted she said she'd be mailing out her boxes (she's in two RRs that I know of) this past week, so, I'm giving her this coming week to either post delivery confirmation numbers (so the boxes can be tracked) or for these two boxes to actually be delivered. If no proof of these boxes has surfaced at the end of this coming week, Leah will be banned from further trades within the MNF group, other groups will be alerted to her actions, and a VERY unsavory rating will be left for her in the rate and review forum, hopefully warning anyone else from including her in any trades or swaps.

    Leah, if you are reading this, and you wish to save your reputation, post the delivery confirmation numbers of those boxes, AND e-mail me right away.
