Shirley new web site address.

I like the bracelet all colorful like that!!

Congrats on your own domain!

What a good son! Loved looking at your beadwork, and your garden is scrumptious! Have to go back for more later.

Thank you Jerri, They were the only cube beads I had got. I bought a bag with 100 of them in to use on my beaded tassels. Shirley

Thanks KathyZ, yes he is a good son as is his younger brother. My garden is looking less than scrumptious at the moment. We have had two weeks of persistent rain and every looks sad and soggy. Probably need for DH to do some drastic clearing when we get a dry spell. Shirley

Shirley, Love your site. Your garden puts mine to shame. I remember years ago when I went to Stratford upon Avon, seeing the end of a row house where the entire front yard was all purple - different types of flowers in that color, I've never forgotten the impact.

Thanks Patti. Like I mentioned before it is not very pretty after all the rain we have had. It spoilt the oriental poppies. The roses are not their best. Which is a shame because I was drying the petals in the microwave to use as confetti at GD's forthcoming wedding. We are not allowed to use paper confetti at the church.

We do have loads of frogs however and they have been all over the garden enjoying the rain, the fish in the big pond eat all the spawn before it get chance to hatch Every spring I rescue a dollop of spawn from the big pond and put in my little fountain pond. I feed them until they get to small frog stage then put them in the small pond where there are no fish. The frogs help keep the slugs down that eat the plants. Hugs Shirley

Nice website, Shirley. Is there anything that you can't do??!! I absolutely love the Butterfly card you made, and the Silver beaded end caps on the blue cord necklace are pretty cool, too. :)

Thanks Linda, There are lots of things I cannot do, but I keep trying. LOL Hugs Shirley

I also have two "good lads" as well, 17 and 20 yo. They keep me on my toes, LOL.

Sorry to hear that your garden is soggy. But that should mean it will be beautiful in a week or so. When is your GD's wedding? Hope you have time to collect more rose petals for her. We've had a dry spring / early summer so far -- my front lawn looks like straw, but the lavendar is almost ready to harvest.

Our pond is full of Pacific tree frog tadpoles this year. Our koi (all 13, sigh) died last summer, so the frog spawn was undisturbed and able to hatch into tadpoles this year. Last summer we caught about 10 of the tadpoles to watch them grow up in a large goldfish bowl.

My sons are somewhat older than yours. 50 and 52. The eldest is still a bachelor. The youngest has 3 children.

The wedding is in September. I made all the wedding stationery plus I am doing the cake.

I started cleaning the soggy mess up in the garden yesterday before it breeds some nasties in it. I can only do a little at a time due to my heart probs. Shirley

I once asked him if he was going to wed. He said he did not want no woman taking his money. That was after several of his friends who had got wed and been divorced. However being in the MN is not an ideal situation being away from home for long periods. A lot of women cannot hack it. Shirley

I'm not going to say what I thought that said (here, I pretty much don't have to. You get it).

Shirley -- congrats on the domain, whoo whoo!!!! Good boys, you have and can't wait to go visit.

....Pushing Karleen out of the way.....Shirley, about the bachelor. LOLOLOL. I'll turn 50 in October! He is perfect for me.

What is the MN? I don't think we have it in the US. I've ran into a lot of men who don't want women to take their money over here... I don't want anyone's money, I'm perfectly capible of taking care of myself! LOL

You brat! I am BY FAR the oldest and wisest of the lot... LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Actually I've been trying the internet dating thing... and may I say... MEN SUCK... I forgot how many jerkazoids there are out there. Jim was such a prince, I forgot about all the toads. My bad.
