OBF APRIL~~~~SPRING IS IN THE AIR~~~~


Happy April Girls....


This month of April, you will send your partner a GARDEN FLAG (18 x 12 approximatley)!!! So simple and it will not kill your pocketbook. Flowery....Patriotic...Birds..... etc,,,,, lots of flags to choose from.


*Stores around me have many garden flags in stock. Shipping will not be over the top as a garden flag does not weigh much.


*If you are an Amazon Prime member, there is free shipping on many garden flags. You can easily find a GARDEN FLAG with FREE SHIPPING between $5 and $10, if you are an AMAZON PRIME member....and you can send directly to your partner).


Contact your partner, if you need their address.


*Deadline to sign up to swap is Thursday, April 6. Partners will be posted Friday, April 7.


*PLEASE send to your partner by Monday, April 17.


We will be playing BINGO....and maybe another game or two.....I am in and out of town, so I will need to play that by ear.


I will post BINGO today......


*PLEASE post when you send to your partner and when you receive....please include a picture if possible.


OK, kids...that is it. Very easy!! Any q’s, please ask!


Thanks,


Annie

    Ruth, I have run in to one post office charging ??....and then I go to another post office 2 miles away....and they charge a very different price for the same envelope/package. The PO is quite a racket...very strange and totally unacceptable....BUT....when I bring it up, they simply say...."SORRY"

    Glad it got to you okay, Annie. We've had bad thunderstorms from early this morning until just a little while ago so I have not been on the computer.

    Just got my beautiful new garden flag. I love it. Wanted to get a picture before the rain starts. If it starts. It's in the forecast for next four days.

    I'm loving all the flags and beautiful plants.

    Been working in the yard for a few days. Went to our Euless Garden Club plant swap Saturday but I only brought home a few plants.


    Thank you so much, Annie.

    Received Shirley ty, sorry for the late response we have been dealing with active wildfire Croatan national forest since last Wednesday it burned 35000 acres in less than 24 hours it’s only 30% contained right now. It was raining ash last Friday and Saturday on everything and the air quality was so bad you could not go outside. I have medical issues and it has been a struggle to breath well but thankful for the rain today and Sunday should help some. The fire is within 2-3 miles of our properties but it has been since it started they are making progress so hopefully they get it contained and keep it on forest land and it doesn’t jump to residential.

    Just checked my bingo words and I need one more

  • ruthz
    last year

    I haven't double checked my bingo words, but looks like I need one.

    Beautiful flag Kim. So sorry about the fires. I had not heard about that on news.

    Storms here again today. I did get my tomato plants transplanted yesterday. Also got some basil and flower seeds sown. I'm so behind on garden/yard stuff.

    Today was the monthly Roll Call Veterans luncheon. Instead of the usual location it was in a hanger at Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth. We had hundreds of people there. Not sure of number but I think they were expecting around 800. We had World War II veterans all the way to active duty.

    Bingo

    Looks like I missed # 28 last Saturday.

    Annie, I like that you put "Happy Saturday" so I know what day it was. I'm going to have to steal that next time I'm hosting.

  • SoLovelyLily
    last year

    Yes, unfortunately they have not covered the fire much on the news I assume it is for panic reasons but they now have a designated website and update us daily on the county website and nc forest site. Not sure how the weather is going to be today with the smoke in the air, if ok I plan to try and get outside some.

    Stay safe, Kim. I don't watch the local news frequently but I haven't seen them cover that fire. It sounds really bad. Hopefully all the rain that fell will help.

    Ruth and Jeanne....Great!!

    The ripping off of mail and packages has gotten really bad out here. Is it an issue where you both live? The stealing from stores stores like TJ MAXX is over the top. Purse/wallet stealing is huge at the Trader Joes in my area.
