"The biggest myth about Southern women is that we are frail types, fainting on our sofas. Nobody where I grew up ever acted like that. We were about as fragile as coal trucks." -Lee Smith
Married 61 years, two children, five grown g'children, and a li'l kitty, Miss Darby, a 10yo Turkish Van (never heard of that one). Our vet, whose shelter we adopted this tiny thing from, gave us no warning, but we soon knew something was up. I googled breed temperament: 1st paragraph, "Put away breakables if you have a Turkish Van in the house." ummm... too late. Geeez, our grey-striped tabby cats were sane:) It's been a 10-yr adventure with lotsa love for li'l girl Darby aka 'Dobbie-Dobbie'. She's settling in quite nicely as she ages. lol

Now what does that mean to a retired person? It still means the weekend is beginning very soon!
I hope you are not tired yet of my flowers that are blooming.
This Angel's Trumpet plant is my most special plant. Cricket, the first person to become my online friend in 2008, gave me a cutting from her tree in Georgia. She passed away many, many years ago. Gone but NEVER forgotten!
Our flower bed is finished. It took 6 bags of mulch. However, the flower bed below is not completely finished. We got 8 bags put down in it before we ran out of energy.
Now I would like to brag about our granddaughter Michelle. She and a friend made a video for their sign language class that is so professional. She also aced her first vet CDE comp on Thursday! She was second in her class! Our granddaughter Nicole is making beautiful flower arrangements in one of her classes. Our grandson Will lifted 400 pounds at the gym this past week. We are very proud Grandparents.
