Just wanted to do something for fun. I have a secret. I notice my flower garden has almost 50,000 flowers, varying, from tiny little baby's breath, to beautiful red roses... I like red roses, don't you? ..I also like all flowers in between. ..Oh yes, getting back to my secret. I didn't know when I'd share it with you . Looking at my beautiful garden I thought,' If my garden doesn't grow to 50,000 by Thursday, I'll share then'.... So I won't post any projects, to help it grow. I'll just depend on your watering and planting for me, if you want to find out my secret before Thursday. ..You won't have to toil much, as I am making it easy, just need 77 more gorgeous flowers in my garden. I will TRY to watch it grow, but it will be like waiting for water to boil. Don't be angry for me teasing you, just trying to have a little fun!-Can you guess my secret? One Cutie is excluded from participating,and she knows who she is.-lol-Good night all-Toogie--------------EDITED SUNDAY-I am laughing because some of you went over and beyond, with your gardening! I was expecting my garden to grow to 50,000 before Thursday, but not this quick! ....Oh, I guess you're waiting for the 'secret'....A week ago, Ashley,DH and Nora were here. Ashley told Nora to show Gram (me) her picture on the IPhone. I guess you've seen it by now, have you read it? After I closed my slack jaw, I re-opened it and asked Grayson, "Were y'all thinking about filling that new house up, with more children?" He very seriously and slowly said, "Gram, (pause) I don't know what we were thinking." To which I replied, "Evidently, you were NOT thinking!"-and we all laughed....So next year our family increases, hopefully by just one, but if it's more, we can accept and handle that too. After all, this pregnancy wasn't in any of our earthly plans, so He (God) knows we can handle it! Just ask all goes well, for Ashley and the baby. EDITED Monday- Mom just went for first ultrasound. It is with great pride that I announce, we are having just one again this time! That's all they saw so hopefully they are right, even though it is early, they should have been able to see.

I will look it up and see how beautiful I know it will be, thank you. I just gave you one, however it can't be from my real live garden. I'm afraid I have neglected it terribly this year. Thank goodness I just have to 'click' and your garden grows!-lo
I found the Sturt Desert Pea you gave me and added to the post...I wonder if this is more or less than 50,000? Thank you,'tis a beautiful flower, that looks like it is hardy and would grow anywhere.
thankyou Toogie. And no, it doesn't grow everywhere. Likes the desert best.

Wow, Chris, that pink rose is beautiful, though in general they don't go so well with greyhounds (the latter tear their skin way too easily).
Now Chris, as you knew my 'secret', you shouldn't have worked so hard. You have to be exhausted, as you were up all night gardening! Your poor hands! Now go have yourself a good manicure and get the dirt out!-lol
I knew I couldn't say anything, so had to trick people by saying I couldn't wait to hear your news. It's so lovely that you are going to have another grand-child. It will go by too quickly. I did give my nails a bit of a redo of my copper nail polish this morning as I was actually gardening (for real) on Saturday when we had 27C and then yesterday it poured with rain all day and was only 17C - a drop of 10 degrees within 24 hours. Love Chris
I wish I could put those 100 roses on my dining table, they are pretty,thank you.

lol- Lillian, I've been holding it close to me for a week, but wanted to share our good news with all of you. When I noticed my count and Ashley sees the doctor Thursday, I thought I would celebrate at 50,000 or Thursday, whichever came first. I never thought less than 100 would come so quickly, thanks to some diligent Cuties!

Thanks for the flowers, they are so nice,aren't they-I hope I can keep up with all the sewing. Nora will be a good 'help', fetching diapers,etc. with the new baby, but Ashley will have to watch her. She may think its hers.-lol

Congratulations. I had thought that it might be something like that. Isn't it exciting?

I knew most would guess, however, his parents and us too, thought that Nora was going to be the last grandchild for each family. Boy were we surprised...I haven't seen SIL's mom yet. I am sure she was just as surprised. Yes, we are blest once again.

She looks far too happy about this. I'm assuming she can't read yet! Cute, cute picture and exciting news.
Thank you gerryvb and its such a lovely pink too. Thinking of colors, you know pink for girl, blue for boy. The day they came and 'told' us, they ate lunch before they left. My husband and I had cooked that morning. Anyway, I ran in here to get my hourly free designs from Sick, and the free design for that hour was, "It's a boy!" I started laughing and called Ashley in here to see. Was that a sign?...time will tell.
Graceandham, what do you mean, you're assuming she can't read yet, she WROTE it. Didn't you see her birthday photo when she got this chalkboard? She wrote MINE-lol-....(you do know I am kidding)...she doesn't know it, but someone may soon cause it to rain on her parade.

Doesn't she look so sweet telling us....she's too naive to know, her parade is fixing to get rained on-lol-I don't know if I can keep up with the sewing, like you do for all those nieces of yours, but you know I'll try...or buy-lol-thanks...

Congratulations early for March 2016. I am afraid I was never a big sister, Only a big sister in a sorority. Kay
1 comment
I wasn't either Kay and no brothers. I do have two older sisters, though. Yes, I told a friend, it's so early can you be 'barely' pregnant (lol), to which she gave me a positive NO-and we both laughed. They find out so early these days. I always knew early but the doctor or no pregnancy test had to tell me. At 6 weeks the vomiting started...it ended with the birth, thank God.

Congratulations. What a wonderful way to let you know your family will be increasing in size next year. Hugs Shirley

Shirley, Nora really didn't want to bring me the phone, she likes to play on it. But finally after from me saying, "Let me see your picture, come show me, and let me see how pretty you are" and mom saying, "Go show Gram, Gram wants to see your picture" she finally brought the phone to me. Of course I couldn't say anything, until Papa saw and read it too!..My daughter always comes up with great ideas to present things, or announce, in this case.

Doesn't she look so sweet....yes, she will love the baby. Ashley's friend had a baby a few month back. When they went to see the new baby, they let Nora hold it, of course with mom's help. When it was time to take the baby away Nora didn't want to give it up saying, "It's my baby"-lol

Thank you Marian, from all of us. Her appointment was changed from Thursday,to today. They were able to set her up for 4D imaging, or some number imaging so they reset her for today. That's good because her husband is off work on Mondays and he can go with her.....She was 9 weeks when she found out she was having twins and she was by herself. I am glad her husband will be with her today. Hoping all is well...

Thank you so much! They are beautiful! My husband sometimes gets me the red roses for our anniversary. Someone made the remark,that its a waste of money, they don't last. I'm thinking, no, they don't last forever, but the memories do........His wife's MEMORY last I'm sure. Remembering that he is too tight to get her any!

Boo-Hoo- I know, I thought of that, but I am not putting it back up! I can't anyway. I took that room for my sewing room, and the 'new' guest room doesn't have a space for it. Thanks for the lovely flower and I've been told I'm full of it before,... oh you said surprises!-lol-
