refresh the page; your bookmark might not pick up the pic change.

Tina,

Even when I log in from scratch it doesn't change. Not that it really matters much to me because I'm almost there (YEAHHHH).

We're doing our darndest on the blue robin to get it back to you fast, fast, fast!!!

Marianne

Yayyyyy! The blue robin is picking up speed! I love a good race, so count me in to do my part. I can pass the batton in one day as soon as I get it. I'll have my seeds sitting by the door with their bags packed, waiting for their trip.

Blue Robin rulz! We can beat the Red Robin withoug breaking a sweat!

Go Blue!

Lauri

FYI- the picture in both the previous post, and this new post will be the same because I updated the picture on photobucket. I didn't create a new picture, so yeah, in that regard, they will be the same, if that's what you mean.

Oh, LIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...

The rest of the group is waiting on you...please respond.
Email going to your old & new addy's again now.

LISA- I NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU BY THE END OF THE DAY TODAY REGARDING THE STATUS OF THE RED ROBIN OR YOU WILL BE DROPPED FROM ROUND 2.
Based on the information you have been provided, which included a snail mail, all posts here regarding where the Robin is and when it was expected to arrive, an email to your AOL address from my own addy- NOT from GW- to remind you that the Robin had been delivered at your house (sent to your AOL addy because you did not inform me that you had a new email address), and also an email on Tuesday & Wednesday looking for you (to both your old & new email addresses)...you have had ample opportunity to both know when the Robin was arriving, and to inform the group of its whereabouts and/or status.
Please respond; the group is waiting on you.
Thank you.

Just checking in...i haven't recieved the Robin yet...:(
But will let you know when i do..
Jeanene

I received the Blue Robin at noon. I choose 25 packs of seeds and put 25+ back in. I just got back from the Post Office mailing it to Marianne. Delivery Confirmation Number# 0304 1560 0002 1532 7258

Thanks Tina for hosting.

Don (dem_pa)

Tina, I received my "snail mail" and want to thank you very much for the useful goodies AND your great organization. Any news on our RED Robin? My seeds are packed and anxious to travel!

I have not heard from Lisa at ALL >:(

The Blue Robin has landed at my doorstep - wow what a selection of seeds! Unfortunately, it is too late for me to get it out today, but it will fly on Monday morning to Jeanie.

Hope the Red Robin shows up soon.

Marianne

I am really sorry to hear about the status of the Red Robin. I think I jinxed it with my post about loving a good contest and hoping for a good race between the Blue and the Red.

If the red one never turns up, we could send the blue one to the red people instead of having our round two.

I got my snail mail, and it is just so impressive to be involved in this, my first, robin.

Hello Everyone,
I also recieved my snail mail and Tina thanks for the useful things you included. I am very impressed of how well you have handled this Round Robin. I am next to recieve the Red Robin but no sign of it yet :( but i'm hoping it will show up anyday now. I will keep everyone posted of when I recieve it.
Jeanene

ALL: THE RED ROBIN SEEMS TO HAVE RESURFACED!
WHILE I STILL HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM LISA, I JUST CHECKED THE DC THAT SHE WAS ISSUED, AND IT HAS BEEN LOGGED AS OF FRIDAY THE 12TH.
JEANENE, PLEASE BE ON THE LOOKOUT, AS IT SHOULD SHOW UP VERY SOON IF SENT PRIORITY!

This is good news!

The Blue Robin is in flight and should be landing at Jeanie's house soon. Conf. no. is: 03043490000117902092.

So glad to hear that the Red Robin has surfaced (almost).

Marianne

Hey Everyone,
I recieved the Red Robin this morning!!!! YEAAAHHHH!!! I took out 20 seed packs and put 22 back in. There are alot of goodies to choose from in the Robin. I mailed it back out this afternoon I wanted it back in flight as soon a possible. It is on it's way to Daisydo...
Thanks Tina for hosting the robin
Can't wait for Round 2
Confirmation #0304 3490 0001 1790 1972

That's wonderful! Hooray for the Red Team!!!!

Well now I am rooting for the underdog Red Robin, even though I am on the Blue team. Such great news that both are moving along so well now.

This has turned out to be even more fun that I expected. (I may need to look into getting a life.)

Ok, everyone...we need a fresh Update:

The Blue Robin is sitting in Whitestone, NY waiting to be delivered to Jeanie's House.
The Red Robin is currently in flight to Joyce's place.
I completely forgot to add Amy into the end of the Robin (she's been here since the onset, but I never added her to the calendars)...so it looks like the little racey-poo that we've got going is going to be closer than we thought...HMMMMMMMM????????????!!! LOL!!! Funfunfun!!!

What else...oh, new map below, and all the ones up there are updated to reflect the changes...

The following people watch for your Snail Mails going out today:
Susan- Giverny4me
Annette- moonphase
Kimberly- lil_green_thumb
Wendey- wendeyzee
Elizabeth- zabecc
Amy (not registered at GW)

Looks like we will be looking at a 1st week of February start to Round 2...I need to go find my hostesses...

Thank you everyone for your patience & continued support of this (very long) Robin!!!
-Tina

The Blue Robin was delivered this afternoon, I have went through it and will get it to the PO tomorrow. I hope the hubby comes home before seven because then I can zoom to the PO today, but doubtful that will happen. Will definitely get it out tomorrow. I will post the conf. number when it has been mailed. Thanks so much for hosting Tina!

Jeanie

Mail hasn't arrived today, but I'm searching the sky for the robin to land! I'll get it out ASAP. We are finally getting winter weather here, and the seeds will be just in time for WSing. Thanks for such an organized robin!
Joyce

Update: The robin landed today and I had a ball sorting through and picking seed packets that I have been wanting to try my hand at growing. There was a nice assortment and I appreciated the veggie and herb packets. I have already added to it and it is on it's way to Brenda. The confirmation # is 0304 3490 0001 1790 2351.
Thank you, Tina, for your hard work in making this a success.
Daisy

The Blue robin has left New York and is winging it's way to Lauri in RI Confirmation # 0304 3490 001 1790 2344

Enjoy!
Jeanie

Great news -- I'll be on the lookout for it, and I'll pass it on right away.

Lauri (GardenScout)

Tina-
I got your letter in the mail today. Thank you for your kindness, I will definitely put the baggies and post-its to great use. Quick question though, in my letter it says to send it to Amy next... but up above it says to send it back home to you. Just confused about where it's supposed to fly to after I send it, thanks!
-Elizabeth

Up above where? Am I looking at the wrong thing? What did I screw up now??? Sorry, E!!!! Your snail mail info is correct.

The Blue Robin is now on my kitchen table. I abandoned all ongoing Saturday projects to browse the goodness. It feels like Christmas.

I feel lucky that I will have all day Sunday to continue my persual and reload it with some more, but be assured that on Monday it will be at the Post Office and on its way to Wendey in Massachusetts.

Thanks to each of you for sharing your gardens,
Lauri

Hi Tina got my snail mail and instructions today, DH was looking over my shoulder he thinks we have a secret society going on lol.../Susan

The Saints will be back next year!!!! Okay, back to business!!! I took out the following: Red Bee Balm, Red/Orange tall Marigolds, Moon Vine, Gold Sunflower, Moulan Rouge Sunflower, Teddy Bear Sunflower, Indian Blanket Sunflower, Autumn Beauty Sunflower, Four O'clocks, Lemon Thyme, Fried Egg Plant, Lambs Ear, Okra, Prickley Caterpillar, Mexican Hats, Antique Quince, & Campanula.

I put in the following: 2 packages each Begonia Semperflorens, Amaryllis (Peppermint color and Salmon color), Purple Straw Flowers, Lantana, Sweet Basil, Gerbera Daisy, Crepe Myrtle, Paper Whites, Ornamental Egg Plant, Yellow Gladiola, Liriope, and Hyacinth Bean. About 6 or 8 packages more than I took out. The Robin was chocked full of a wonderful selection and I can't wait to get some of these planted. I will post a confirmation when I take it to the post office and ship it off to Susan in Florida. Happy Gardening! Brenda (MimiB1)

Yea! MimiB/Brenda! Can't wait. Condolences on the Saints. Plenty of displaced Lousianans here in P'cola...Growing up Bears fans we are experts on disappointments!
