Good morning everyone...resting an bit since I slightly twisted my ankle, no Ron, I was NOT dancing up an storm either. Scotty came over as you all know and the first afternoon, we hauled another truck of stuff out of my garage, and then he came over and washed my carpeting upstairs and down, and then planted an evergreen tree for me, so I don't have to look at my neighbors trash bins this year from my patio. Its been such dry weather here over the last several years I'm about to lose an huge huge azeala bush I had planted there 30 years ago. It's just barely got some life to it this year again, I don't know if fertilizer would bring it out and grow some extra leaves and start it anew or not...it's an yellow/orange flowering type. Anyway, this works out so well, because I paid him $70 and it helps him while on "Spring Break" also.  You have NO idea, how much this really really helps me around this house do things that are hard for me to do. So indeed, it IS an good day!!!

Shirley try sacks full of pine needles for mulch around the azalea and keep emptying your tea pot all around the roots (unless of course you use a tea bag in a mug).  Might help somewhat. Try pruning back a bit too so that it doesn't have so much to keep alive if there is a water shortage.

It's Friday, schools closing today for the Easter break, son should be having an interview in UK today, hoping everything will turn out great for him.  We have had a little more rain overnight so the garden is still green and right now everything is good in my world, for which I am really grateful.

Thinking of Cathy E, we haven't heard from her in a few days, Krissy & Stephanie's mother and move, Diana & Rick's mother & move and any one else who needs the thoughts and prayers on POE

Yesterday evening I started going back through the old Picture Chats and what a great visit that was, chuckles and laughter reading the comments and re-looking at the older photographs.  Do yourself a favour and lose yourself on this old chat forum - it is so worthwhile.

Wishing you all a wonderful Friday and great weekend Smile

My goodness Ron - your early today!Wink

Hi Cathy, you don't miss much do you? The truth is I had a little too much to drink last night and had to get up for my head was pounding. Don't normally drink too much but had to try to get a nights sleep after several days (nights) where I just couldn't sleep soundly. Anyway, I'm okay now so looking forward to eggs, bacon, mushrooms, black pudding etc......mouth watering stuff eh?

I agree - you beat me to it today Ron! I have been up since 5 though writing a complaint!

Thank you Cathy & Urmi for your good wishes. It is hectic here - Terry got his "man shed" yesterday - he has always wanted one! The electrician was at the new house most of yesterday and the gas fitters didn't leave until 7.30pm. I took a load of stuff to the charity shop and then my car was playing up so I had to call the AA. It's all go!

Morning Cathy - thank you for thinking of us! We are a bit up to our eyes - we have carpets and floor boards up all over the new house, leaks from water, a half fitted central heating system, My new oven & hob are still on the floor in the kitchen with no gas pipe to them, half done electrics and we are moving early next week! Yesterday Solomon ran in with dirty wellies and ran straight over the light bedroom carpet so he have us another job to do!

I am worried about Cathy & Elsie - hope things are improving.

I must apologise to my all my friends for not getting in touch with them enough - things will hopefully be back to normal soon.
