The Young and the Restless - MESSAGE BOARDS

:-)

Good morning all. My daughter is on the way back to Philadelphia. V did not get the car she has been driving ready to be inspected and he wanted her to take my old Lumina with 191,000 miles on it. I could not bear that. That car is going to die soon & she is without resources. We usually have a yard full of cars. So, i sent her off with my Toyota Camry and I will have to drive the Lumina. Not looking forward to it. Maybe it is time for a new car. The Camry is a 2005 but it only has about 60,000 miles on it. It's a bad time to have to buy a new car b/c we just put in a new ac & I am going to have to have my house painted & new flooring done but what is is.
V has 2/3 of my garage taken up with mowers, chairs from the club, rolls of carpet & insulation, etc. To make room for A's things, I had to throw away some things I have had for 30 years & was not ready to turn loose of (like my horsehide motorcyle jacket & my karate clothes (not in good shape after 10 years in the garage anyway.
V has a 3 door garage but usually has at least 2 vehicles in it plus a million tools & cans of stuff.
Oh well. I think I will take a break & go look at my flowers. Have a good day.

Umm. Nice trip to the garden. I ate a snow pea. I will pick them tomorrow. The glads have enjoyed the rain & are reaching for the sky. The top blooms come to my nose. Lots of beauties blooming in the daylily rows. I see a lot of blue in there that I don't remember from before but I have been pollinating with the blue stuff for several years. There has been time for pods to fall off, seeds to germinate, & new faces to bloom. You just can't believe how lovely they are. Darla Anita bloomed today. She is kind of a rose pink with lots of golden glitter & with great masses of yellow around the edges. The ruffles are so thick tht sometimes I have to help it a little to open. It's short but I still use it a lot to pollinate the tall ones in other colors, hoping to get tht elaborate edge in purple or fuchia or blue or lavender (others have already beat me to it of course but its a thrill to have your own-and for free. Some of the really striking new daylilies sell for over $300 for just one fan).

Good grief! I went looking for you all and the thread was on page four! I was beginning to think I had just imagined you all.

We had an experience. We went over to the credit union and found that it had been robbed. A tv crew was there and interviewed us. The interview was lengthy but what actually got on tv was a few seconds. Fine by me. I would have been perfectly happy if they'd skipped the whole thing. You have your choice. You can go ahead and talk to them or make yourself look like a bigger fool by saying no and them putting that on tv. Guess we came okay.

If you ever have trouble finding the thread, there is a little white rectangular box right over ADD NEW POST. If you type Kritter in the box, then right click the even smaller white rectangle to the right of it two times, it will search and find the thread for you.
You can find any thread that way if you can remember even one word that is in the title.

I have brought a large purple vase filled with white and pink glads. I like the bright colors (like purple & red) better than the pastels but the voles & wood rats must like them better too. I keep buying them & they keep disappearing but the pastels prevail. Maybe the dark ones are spicier tasting.
There are thousands of day lily blossoms this morning but I like it better when they bloom one or two per clump each day. When a clump has a dozen blooms at once it is like when they set off all the fireworks at one time. (Plus the blossoms are not as big and some of them don't open fully-the duds.
Sumatran Mandeling coffee and banana nut muffins this morning.Peach tea. Red grapes, blueberries, kiwi slices, and strawberries.
Also for decoration, one large cobalt bowl with 8 white & lavender daylily blooms and another with "spiders" (long petaled, extra-terrestial looking kritters-very lovely).

Hi Annal, it is so good to see you posting a little. I guess you are resting up and are feeling better, perhaps? How soon do you have to travel to London?
