I'm from MI but live in TN now...I have a nephew and a niece in College in the state that you live in. Is that your whole family in your pic? I'm from a family of 4 girls & 4 boys. My older sister and bro. are passed on and our parents so now I am the oldest! Hope you recovered from your surgery well as it's almost 5 mos. since you posted that you had it.

Hey, I love your photos. That's a great idea with the flowers in the birdbath. might try that today. I have 3 birdbaths, but the birds don't go in them anyway, so plants will be just the eye catcher. Keep you stick on the ice !!!!! Your old pal from the Motorcity Diana

Doc is still warning me to stay off of leg as much as possible---So garden is still a mess--definitely not picture worthy!! lol This is my last go round for the leg-next is amputation!! YUKKKKK!!! Hard to even type that!! So I am trying hard to behave!! ALTHO I have been pushing the envelope some!!! MY bowling team are the champs this yr. So I have been bowling w/leg up on chair between throws!!! lol Yesterday was our last game!! AND we go to state competition tomorrow (which has been in the works since Jan.) I am only bowling team competition!! So 3 more games and I am done w/bowling!! I had originally opted out of doubles and singles--which has turned out to be a good thing!! Becuz that would be 6 games in a row and last yr my leg swelled up to cantaloupe size doing that!! You don't get much of a chance to sit down between throws on singles and doubles it is fast paced!!

With bowling done I shall be pushing the envelope again w/gardening!! Or hopefully Doc will turn me loose soon!! But it has only been a month yesterday!! So is doubtful!!

Keep up the good work all and I will keep reading and enjoying what YOU are doing!! lol
