She also brought Fairy rocks from a Park in Virginia, where they are found everywhere,, fairy rocks legend says When Christ was crusified, all the fairy's of the lands cried and that their tears turned to stones as they fell to the ground and took to the shape of Crosses,, ,, The two little fairy rocks I've placed on top of the book truly are in the shape of crosses,, How interesting is that! they are small about an inch in length, she also made a CD of all my willy village stories so far! How sweet is that <Thank you Shirley! and she brought a Angel feather of the September Angel I want to have a shadow box made for it! Thank you thank you Shirley for everything!

First, here is a very nice bath set she got me, as I may not have been able to bring much on the plane. Very useful here and when I get home. And here is a solar light ball, for me to set among my plants in my apartment! (my plants and gnomes are going to love that. But I hope they don't play all night with that light on them! And here is my I Love Texas t-shirt she got me. You saw that one on me, I wore it to the comedy club. Love clothes!!! (Now I have 4 new t-shirts! (I bought myself one too, when we went shopping!! )

Sorry that last picture was so blurry!! And besides all that, which I get to take home, I got the gift of being around Emmy girl, of the tiny sweet face and loving on her!!! I wish I could stick her in that carry-on bag!! Except, she licks me too death....she looks me right in the eyes and as soon as she gets close to me her tongue starts going before she even touches me!!!! I am drinking the most scrunptious Dreamcicle right now!!!!

Hi Glenda! Thank you and Diane for letting me try them one! Got back from a lake...watched men put their big ole' boats in the water....watched kids feeding big ole' fish with BIG ole' mouths!!....and watched ducks, geese, and something with an ugly head that looked like a turkey to me!! Got some Texas souvenirs, besides my t-shirts,.....TX frig magnet and coffee mug,....and a gardening magazine to look at on the plane. Diane is cleaning hummingbird feeders AND making blueberry pancakes!!

But Dodge I'm usually laughing or smiling at home too...I just don't take pictures of myself to share! Plane take-off time is 7:15 this evening...that's TX time....my son picks me up in Dayton at 7:30 .....that's OH time!! Wow, it looks like only a 15 minute flight there. I've had a wonderful time! And Diane is an excellent hostess!! Hey there is a red bloom open on my one Vinca, and other buds which will probably open tomorrow! Diane, take good care of my babies!!

I even got her in the kitchen and showed her ( well actually told her and she did it) how to make a grahamcracker cake. you can't tell by the picture so much but it's blue and red striped, cool whip for the frosting,
