Hallson Gardens

Renaldo, I think I need to get me a silk komono to fill in one of the many spots I have this summer. They are all lovely.

Tami

Joan, the Garden Treasure you sent me in a trade about 4 years ago is huge and bumpy and breathtakingly lovely. I think of you each time I see it. So, happy thoughts go your way at least once a day in the summer. Unfortunately the ones on eather side of it are itty bitty, one eyed wonders this summe...

I shamfully admit I haven't really taken care of my hosta babies for the last two summers. Cleaned out the worst of the weeds once or twice and that was pretty much it. I went out and really looked at the beds for the first time today. I am missing probably 1/5 of my hostas. I think my spilt Milk is...

I thought those were professional pictures! Your daughter did a wonderful job and the bird is adorable. Funny, I have never thought of a bird as being a peanut butter eater.

The people who originally owned our lab, Sunny, had him bell trained. The next owner stopped using it, so he doesn't use it for us. But, I hear he was well trained for the original owners.

Tami

Oh, poor Lucy! It will get better. Hang in there and keep going.

Tami

Lucy, there is a lady on the WW boards that has lost around 150 # and she uses Curves. She is a long distance truck driver, and has worked out in a Curves in about 29 different states. Now that is dedication. DH has told me I can't pay for WW and a gym at the same time. So, next spring I will join s...

A lot of Dutch Oven receipes can also be made in a crock pot. But, Joan is correct, any large preferable heavy pan with a good fitting lid that can go in the oven will work. You can use them on the stove top also. You can get good off brands at Wal-mart for under $50 as opposed to the french brand t...

I don't post my WW stuff here too much, I have that on the WW boards. But since last Tax Day I have officially lost 52 lbs.! Went thru my closets today and had to get rid of all my old pants. Every pair was way too large. Last year at this time I was wearing 20/22. I had to go get a new pair of pant...

Actually saw something on a design show (HGTV) last week. They took several long feathers and arranged them on a large sheet of ?? paper? just sort of very straight forward, vertical design, framed. You might think about some sort of shadow box with glass over it. I might be more inclined to stitch ...

Lucy, those two are too cute!

Tami

When I was a teen, we heated with a wood burner and there was always a mess.

Tonight I have a fire in the fireplace, but no kittys to warm themselves in front of it.

Glad your two are enjoying the warmth.

Tami

That is such a cute quilt. You did a wonderful job on it. I bet you grandson will carry it around for years to come.

Tami

Fight with outdoor cat = overnight stay, lost eye and $1700 bill. Then the stinking cat runs away

Hope Jet feels better soon. Tiger finally got somewhat used to the collar after about the second day.

Tami

Haaaaa, makes me miss my kitties.

Tami

This should probably go on the receipe forum, but has I am doing WW, everything is diet or OP (WW discourages the use of the word diet). Wild Rice with Brown Rice cooked, 1 cup 1 small red onion, chopped 1/2 Cup of celery, chopped 1 cup of chopped mushrooms 3 Tablespoons Terikayi sauce (3 Tablespoon...

Really beautiful. I really must hit the lottery, so I can quit my job but still have money to do all the stuff I want to do.

Tami

Well, the kids finally put up posters, but it has been two weeks and still no kitties. I am hoping that Tiger has holed up with someother family and will get away from them and come home soon. He does have a history of disappearing for a couple of days at a time, but usually in warm weather. We have...

Since I have been loosing my weight at a steady 5lbs a month, I only have to keep that up. (the last week and 1/2 aren't counting )

Tami

My adopted shelter cat, Kanga dissappeared in Mid-November. Then last Friday (12/22) Tiger, my one eyed cat didn't come home! I have been after my kids to get missing cat signs up, but they have had an excuse each day, :evil: I have been working. I spend $1700 on that cat's eye last summer, now he r...
