Well it's me 17 days later....Oh well.
I have been very busy I have joinedWOSIB.

I'm in the Beginners Creators Garden.

I've joined the Garden of Frienships...TNT. (Tubes N Tuts),

I've also joined PSPUG.

I have not been active there yet.

With Darylynn's HW, GOF, WOSIB, PSP 201, I have been overwhelmed.

I got my PSP 101 certificate...yes!!

My grandsons...Travis & David are coming to spend a week each.

I don't know if Gramma can keep up with them.

I finally heard from my friend Linda, I was so pleased.

I hope she is feeling better soon.

I have not heard from my friend Patricia.

I hope she is having a great time home here in the states.

I've yet to buy my pansies for the summer & it will be too late if I don't get it done.

But my flowers(perrenials) are beautiful this year.

The deer did not get my Tulips this year,
But we had to put an ugly rope with
plastic bags around the whole perimeter.

Well I need to do my HW for PSP 201, so I'll close here.

Hopefully I can get caught up,

and be back again SOONER...LOL!!!

Hi everyone, Well just like clockwork I'm back 10 days later.
I am just so involved in sooo many things right now.
I've joined a great group "Garden Of Friendship".
It sounds really fun. I'll have to learn the ropes first.
I joined the Welcoming Committee.

I have been messing around with PSP7, I've made a few things with TUBES, wonderful tubes.

I am taking a class right now also, PSP 101.
Hopefully I can learn something. I would truly love to draw graphics.

I also opened my own "Tall Tails Adopt Shop".
I only have 2 so far but hope to be getting or making more.

I've included an area for temporary pictures on my "Tag Me" page. I've also added a "Tip" spot on my "Tall Tails" page.
I've also had a reply back on it & she said it worked great for her also.
Check it out.

I've changed my recipes for this month at "The Recipe Box" .

I have been working in my flower beds & taking some pictures to display.

I've been out blog hopping, checking out everyone's homework for Darylynn's HW.

Well everyone have a great week & an even better weekend coming up. GBY

Hi everyone, first I'd like to wish everyone a Happy & Safe Memorial Day weekend.
Me myself & I will be spending it alone, Ernie, Lucas
& two of my brother in-laws went to Canada fishing.

Josh is still in Italy, I've only heard from him twice since he left
& recieved one email. He's been to Rome & Florence & several other places.
I'm sur he will have lots & lots of great pictures.

Hello Patricia, I hope you made it here safe & sound. I miss your tags. =0)

Well I just started my science project plant, from seed, I have faith.
I've been wanting to plant some for a few years we used to have some & still do but they are
all intwined in my flowers. (a mess)
I'll have to find a permanent home for them of thier own.
It's a Mystery.

Well I am a big country music fan...& particularly "George Strait".
It was just great seeing him get the award for thee most #1 hits.
And oh so appropriate that they had Alan Jackson give him the award.
George is most definitely one handsome man.
My husband is always teasing me about him...calling him the old man.
Recently he found out that George is younger than him...LOL!!!

Our daughter is moving again, she will be a little closer this time, but still 3 hours away.
My grandsons Travis & David are suppose to each spend a week this summer with us.
I'm looking forward to it, but we may have them both together instead...I'll be calling on Calgon, I'm sure.
I'm not used to that anymore, I love them dearly
but don't know how fun Gramma will be.
They are so sweet & on Spring break they came to visit a couple days.
Travis told me I was the best Gramma in the whole world.
That made my day, he even took his hands & used them
as a balance & showed me that I was way up there as high as he could reach, as far as Grammas go.
Everyone needs to hear things like that once in awhile. =0)

And he is my little sweetheart.

Well I don't write often but when I do I don't quit rattling on. So until the next mysterious visit, have a good weekend. GBY

Well I'm back...I'm just so darned hooked on getting things put up on my pages that I don't get the time to get in here.

Happy Sunday everyone.

Ernie & Lucas went picking Morel Mushrooms yesterday. With 3 other guys & they shared their
bounty & bounty they had. They came home with 23 pounds of Morels. So their share was about 9 1/2 lbs.
They are gone again today. I'm going to post pictures if they are any good here with a link. I can't upload pictures here.
I use the freebe.

I've been out pulling weeds in my flower beds today. I dug up a pink bleeding heart (baby) last Wedesday & gave it to a friend. I have sooo many new little sprouts popping up everywhere. So I share in my fortune. I have the white & the pink old fashioned & the white & the pink Fern leaf type.

Ernie ordered his Garden seeds from "Gurneys Catalog" & he ordered me 3 pkg. of Bunny Tail seeds. I just LOVE them, they are so sweet, too bad they are only an annual for me. I love to dry them & put them in a small vase. CUTE just CUTE!!! One year I did have a couple that came up in the spring/summer, they must have went to seed & the conditions were favorable for them.

I bought a couple new perrenials the other day...I cannot go in a greenhouse this time of year & not buy perrenials. I bought a flat of Lobelia also, I truly love that too. I just love everything. =0)

We have had our HummingBird feeders up for over a week now...lots of business there. No Orials yet, I hope they come, I love watching them...they are gorgeous. We feed the birds & squirrels year round.

I have been trying to learn to use that PSP7 but I'm really not getting it. TIME...TIME, yes I know!!

Well I should go see about putting up the Morel mushroom pictures.

God Bless You All.

Hello World,

I'm back can you imagine that?! I went to my doc. appt. today at 11:00am & found out
after Ernie dropped me off, for an hour...that the appt. is Friday. HA HA
Oh well I did some visiting, I have several friends there.
The reason I messed up is I usually have Wed. at 4 pm
but she had to change it & I was thinking it was just the time not the day too.
Oh well, I better get my ---- together.
I blame these kind of things on my stroke...I never did things like that before.
Well I finally heard from Linda Mayes yesterday, so I know she is ok.
But not really feeling great. I wish you well..Linda.
Went to the Market & got a few groceries, Ernie dropped me off & went to get his haircut.
Well I waited & waited for him, I put all the frozen stuff back.
I went out & walked to the end of the parking lot
& I could see him standing in the parking lot gabbing with someone.
I was just a LITTLE perturbed,
it was down the road & across the highway so I was not checking
out & pushing the cart all the way over there.
Men...somedays!!! Well I guess I'll go & get something done.
Have a great day & GBY.

Hello Everyone (Patricia),

I guess no-one should put me down as a daily read, I just get in here when I can.
I've got way too many things going on, on & off the PC.

Well I have a great new friend on line, anyone in Darylynn's HW class
should know her...Patricia. She is really a great friend & most importantly a good person.

I was out surfing & not tending to things I should have been,
Ernie will really vouch for that.
Anyhow I found one of the greatest sites...well actually several.
But one in particular Welcome to Vicki's Place.
Nope not mine, & I couldn't do anything as nice as that.

Mother's day Ernie & Lucas got me a truck load of Mulch for the walkways between my 10 Rockbeds.
That is what I asked for.
They shoveled it all out nice & neat. I just love my flowers.
I make 10 trips out there every day to see what new is popping through the ground.
Then Luke, Ernie, My Mom, My Sister Cindi & I went out to eat. Great food, I had fresh water Perch.
I haven't had them in years & I love them.

Then of course we watched Survivor...I was pleased with the end.
I would not have said that a few weeks ago, but the way it played out, I have to say...YES!!!!

Joshua called from Italy on Mom's Day, said he had been in Venace all week.
I guess he is enjoying himself.
He reminds me so much of my older brother...Randy.
Who passed away in 1992 at the age of 45.
His pancrease shut down, he had diabetes very, very bad.

My Mom has it now & she is suppose to take pills for it,
but I don't think she does.
Her house is the Sweet Shoppe.
What can I do?! She's almost 79 years old, I guess if she wants to eat it she can.
I don't like being mean & I know it really isn't, but she perceives it that way. So I give up.
Well everyone have a really great week.

God Bless You

Hello everyone, it's been a few days.
I've been busy.
I had a friend reformat my puter last night & add more
memory.
It seems to be going a little faster but one of my speakers
are screeching when I turn it up.????
She also installed Paint Pro 7, what a foreign looking object.
I guess I have my studying cut out for me.
Well later gator.

Hey there...it's a gorgeous day here in Michigan. I have been out blog hopping checking out lots of Darylynn's HW students, HW.
This is really kinda fun. I do feel old though...they are all youngin's & I'm older than the hills. My pc is having PMS, it needs a doctor, so it takes me 3 times longer to open your pages. I have more memory but just haven't added it. I don't feel good about me getting inside there. I have had as of right now 12 vistors at my site & some very nice compliments...Thank you all. I myself have visited 22 sites. 26 but I could not find 2 of thems HW, one I don't know why I couldn't get to anything, It was something new to me. It was Gina's site. Sorry. And then one did not have their HW posted yet. So now I need a nap. LOL. I'm wondering about Linda from Country & Cows, I have not heard from her in almost a week, I'm a little worried. She has not posted her HW yet either. I hope she is okay.
Well my son Joshua is in Italy now. He called shortly after arriving there. I hope he has a great time, & gets lots of pictures. He is a great photographer, he can do just about anything in Art. I will have to post some of his Moose pictures on my site.
My son Lucas got his Turkey yesterday, he was quite pleased with himself. He called it in himself & did it all alone, they usually do it in a buddy system. I will be posting my Twenty Questions here later, my first...it should be fun.
Well I'm seepy... I'll have to continue this later. Thank you all who visited my HW. GOD BLESS YOU, Vicki
