this year I have bought myself 2 different kinds of thornless blackberry vines.. I have been keeping them in the house for over a month so they keep warm....they have big green leaves all over them and I can't wait to plant them.. We all ove blackberrys at our house....I have been lugging them out during the warm day and back inside at night.... yumm my mouth is watering thinking about blackberry cobbler...well that won't happen till next year ..but I can dream!!!!
My Stella De Ora Daylillys are comeing up and I have some that smell like cantaloupe...
Now my tuplis has met a nasty mole--He Ate them (bulbs) and some of my Easter Lillies too!! BAD MOLE!!!!! we have tried all kinds of things to catch them...even the traps which I hate--I have two miniture dashunds I was afraid would get in the trap..it took some presading me to let my DH put them out with covers on them....well it didn't work....

My Fight Cancer Button

My button on the right side of blog is for a survivor and that I am!! In 2002 I was told I had Hodgkin's Lymphoma Cancer.. when I was waking up from my operation....when you hear the word Cancer you only think one thing Death! I was going in and out of sleep but I was crying and the nurse kept asking if I need something for the pain and all I could do was shake my head no...
well after countless PET--CAT scans ----bone core and many other pain full things I got my port in place and was given Chemo..they told me my hair would be gone in 2 days because I was on a very high and strong dose of Chemo medication.... I lost hair but I managed to keep most of it (although thinned out) the whole 12 round of Chemo ( that is 7 months of my life every week--5 hours each time) I was sick-tired-but I never gave up.. I am a survivor and I had a baby granddaughter I wanted to see grow up....and a Family.. My family was and is the best--they were there for me all the way!! On my first Cancer Walk it took me 20 min. to go around the track but they walked it with me... I never questioned their love for me.... I have now been in remission for 5 years as of Sept 2007!!!!!! YEA for ME!!!!!!!!!!! yes I am conceded but I have a right to be! I now go for a yearly CAT Scan and Dr. Ck up..... I still have and will always have the fear of it coming back or a different kind....If you have been told you have Cancer you know the feeling! so I have put this button on my site for those that have died--and those of us who are still hear to tell about it...... If you think you have something please get a check up!!!
Thanks for letting me talk your ear off but I thought I needed to explain what the button represents to me.

Busy Weekend

Oh here it is Monday already and I never got around to doing anything with the blog! it was 70's this weekend so we were out cleaning my flower beds and repairing our driveway from the ice.
so the blog and all files were on the back burnner.. I am sorry. I am trying how to do a thing when I type
HERE IS THE PATTERN you go directly to my files.

another blogger has told me to highlight the word pattern then go to the link clip and put in the url.. I do this but when I click on it --it says page not found. I save the files to 4shared maybe that is the problem.. anyone have a better place?

Well just a few days till I go to a personal crop and get to see a friend. (Sharon) We are all going out to eat and then crop till? at our local scrap store(Scrapbook-Fever) Joplin, Missouri. and then the next day is a 16 hour crop!! Let me tell you it don't get much better than that unless there is a sale!

I have some new Cricut Cartradges coming too!!! It is hard to wait for the UPS driver. I even
went and bought myself a new tape runner. (Kathi and Paula has one) boy is it big ----but they asured me I can manage it. LOL we will see....

Well it is about time for my kids to be coming and I do need to get the oatmill ready--todays high is 35 and snow flurries for the next 3 days.. go figure....
I will work on the file thing --if anyone has any ideas or wants their blog listed here that shares files I will try again and maybe I wont be a spammer.....LOL
till later
