WHATS HAPPENING MONDAY

Oh my i wish all of you could have been with me this week end. I thought i had died and gone to Heaven....That is what i think Heaven must be like. beautiufl flowers and gourgeous landscaping with lots of large rocks , stairs made out of big huge rocks. and all of these lead up to a magnificante water fall with ponds and falls and ponds and falls. again and again....probably a good 1000 0r more feet of this. goes under streets. ....The azaleas werent in total full bloom but was still so beautiful, i think they said there were over 10,000 azaleas in the park with more being planted all the time. ...they had a gift shop there outside that was selling Azaleas ....well of course i bought some. scooted those bags over of the ladies we went with lol. I called JOe and told him that i had bought s ome lol and he said well of course. so now i have to find the best place for them...they gave me a planting guide. ......my worse problem with them will be the stupid grass roots that might choke them out. ...
oh of all the people on the trip , of which i was the oldest i think, not real sure but any way. I was the only one that walked up to the top of the waterfalls. , even Sugar didnt go up there. ....anyway i felt proud of getting up there by my self. and you know what my knee didnt hurt from all the walking.

Tomorrow Bec is suppose to be here. cant wait to see her....

oh while i was gone for two days so much stuff bloomed out. my early iris, my lilas, wisteria, the spirea is almost in bloom, the wegiela are all leafed out and ready to put blooms on i hope soon. the Mimosa trees are getting their leaves on ...just amazing what a couple of days do ...

Hope a few of you get to come down and see me this summer.

Jo are you all still comingo down in May? you dont have to be able to go to a show to come down. just come down and stay and visit .....bring your food and you can stay in the guest house for free.
we might or the guys might go fishing....dont know if you like it or not.....but we might go to the Landing in Branson. we can find something that you both like to do. if not together we can do it apart lol ...come down and go to the meeting and then on down to our house. cheap vacation.

well talk to all of you later. we will all have to  plan a trip to OK next year sometime in the month of April for this Azalea festival....beautiful beauti ful....anyone that loves flowers .....
Joe and I are riding th.e trike over before this month is out. .....cant wait

Sounds like a wonderful trip. We had a good meeting. I really missed you but we had a very inspirational speaker - made me feel like I could beat this Carb addiction. Was so good to see everyone. Bec sat by me and we had too much fun. Monique and Chris were there, Randy, Jeanie, Brenda's friends from Harrison, Fran and a new DS person who is so young a beautiful - I hope she'll keep coming so we can watch the transformation. I know I'm forgetting someone - oh, Jane and her hubby were there - her back is really bad. Also, Jeanie brought a friend.
I won't be there in May because that will be two days after my TT but June should be good and although I know I'll still be swollen I'm excited and by that time I will need the hugs and encouragement.
Take care and say Hi, to Bec.
Hugs,
Lana

Good morning OH,

Just wanted to say hi  , am doing ok today. Still have no ho****er, didn't get to tell my son not to turn the breaker on before the tank was full and the elements burned out. So my older son is replacing the new ones, and maybe by tonight I can take a shower.

I just did it the way we do at camp, heated water on the stove and took a good sponge bath. Hadn't washed my hair in the sink in along time, but managed to do it today.

DH has a dr. app at 1:00 so need to get ready to go, have a busy day am going to Dr. E's support group tonight with my friend.

Jan~Glad you had a good time in OK and also really glad you had someone watching out for you and Sugar.

Everyone have a good day, looks like we're gonna have a really nice week.


    

Glad you had such a good time Jan.  I would have enjoyed see all the flowers.  I just have no interest in planting them.  We have a good sized area in front of the living room window for flowers.  I know what I want it to look like but haven't succeeded in getting it that way in the 3 years we've lived there.  I may have to just do it myself. 

Max is still not feeling well today but I came to work.  There's nothing I can do for him and I always think I might need the time off for something more serious in the future.  He rested all day yesterday.  I'm sure he had a TIA and there's nothing you can do for that. 

I don't know about coming down in May.  That's a long trip for a meeting. 

I read most the new Atkins book, Atkins, A New You.  Very good.  It explains a lot about carbs.  I tried Atkins when it first came out and didn't last a day.  Then it was eat all the protein and fats you wanted and it was so boring.  Tried it again a few years ago for a week and gave up.  Back then I had cravings for sweets.  Now, I don't crave sweets but I can tell a difference in my appetite when I eat carbs even good ones.  The new plan encourages you to eat veggies.  I'm not starting with Induction.  I'm starting with Phase 2. 

Another beautiful day here.
