Met my first forum member yesterday!
« on: October 21, 2008, 04:40:21 PM »
Yesterday Brian and his Mom stopped by to pick up some lily bulbs.

We had such a nice visit.  My pond and flower gardens are not looking too great right now.  I had spent the day cutting back perennials around the pond and all of the waterlilies, etc., in the pond.  Hopefully he can come back next summer when everything is in bloom.

I was "plumb tuckered" last night.  Today my butt muscles hurt.  :o Think I am getting too old to do so much in one day, but it is so nice to look out and see it done!

Sure wish I could meet more members.  I need to talk some of those southern Indiana and Kentucky people to come up this way!

Always nice to meet other members. Think I have met around 15 to date, but LeeAnne is the leader in this field - she has met so many.

The other rule is that if another ponder comes to your home, that is when your garden and pond are just going to look their worst! Go figure.

Cheers,

Mike

Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what is that thing?

It is great to meet them EagleEye stopped in here last month, I've also met with some members on another forum  always a good time as you have things of similar intrest to share so it's not like talking to a total stranger.

We had a great time visiting with Karen and Bob.  They have a gorgeous home, gardens and pond.  I wish I had grabbedd the phone out of the car and took some pictures of our visit to post.

So true.  My pond and garden have never looked so bad as when Kamala came over recently to pick up the turtles..... :redface:

Let's see, Mikey & Mrs. Mikey, Lorraine, Mikie, and Mike, Richard and Liz, and Cindi & Rick. It feels like I've met more of you but can't come up with anyone else.
