A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Our Member's Interactions Lunch In Cincinnati

I'm talking on the speaker phone with Glenda and Shirley while they are sitting at Applebee's in Cincinnati Pictures will be posted of this meeting around 7pm tonight Glenda has a meeting to go after this .
WHile Talking to these two we have all decided the summer camp of '08 will be at Cindy Lou's, because she can't leave Lola so we will come to her!! Ya Hear that Cindy?? Shirely can take a bus to Glenda's I can fly to Glenda's, and we can drive to Cindy's That way if you fall in the pond there is someone there to pull you out!!

Shirely's phone only had one bar left on it soo I told her to hang up incase she needed to use her phone on the way home ( safety factor ) They sounded like they were having a really good time over lunch and good conversation,,
More will be posted later today!!!

I'm back!!

Cool Penny..thru Ohio huh?..then you could pick me up and I could pay the rest of the gas money...and there we go!! Right?!

Glenda and I had a great time!! A lot of gabbing, and , and eating, and talking on the phone to Diane!!!!

I wanted to be there first, but Glenda was already there!
That Applebys is COLD!!

She brought me such great surprises!!!!
She made me a beautiful basket, lined with red printed material!! My favorite color!!!

We figured out where I'm going to put it and what I will use it for!!! I was glad of Glenda's help on that one. Since my kitchen and everything in it is white, this basket will make a wonderful splash of color sitting on one counter; and Glenda said put a glass dish in it and put a potted plant in that!! That's exactly what I will do, then tell my son he has to come over and take a picture of it!

AND....while he's there he can take a picture of me in what else Glenda gave me, and made!!!!

She gave me a gray T-shirt, like she made for Cindy, and mine says Shirley4 followed by giggles in pink, just like on here, with the gardenhelper underneath!!!!! I'm so proud of both things! And appreciate them very much!!!
Thank you again, Glenda . I so enjoyed meeting you, and look forward to another time!!

Souinds like a wonderful time!!!

We are patiently waiting for Pictures!

Thanks for saying that for me Triss!!! :wink:

Yes, I'm haveing a hard time! :mad:

My stupid laptop frooze as soon as I got to the forum so I had to get on the desktop. It's as slow as molassas!

Give me a few more minutes please.

Glenda's on here now!!!!!!

OK
Should I tell you about what we did while were there?

To start, We were talking so much that the waitress came back twice(atleast) before we even opened the menu.!!

Here is where we ate:

And if you think it was at Burger King you are......... wrong!

After ordering:
We were like chilfdren at Christmas and had to open our gifts.

This is what mine looked like:



I will admit I took mine home and rewrapped them jst so I could tease you with the picture.

I feel like we are all holding our collective breaths!!

Here is what they look like unwrapped. Shirley said the plant is from one of hers and ahe made the wonderful pot herself. The little stone is one she got in AZ.
The bird will chirp when the pot it is stuck in is too dry. I absolutely need that!!

Isn't the sleeping Willy adorable?

Thank you very much Shirley.

Oh cool, that is some nice stuff you both exchanged!!!! Waiting on more pics!

Very nice.

I told Glenda that the cell battery in the bird is suppose to last a year, and that by then she would be so sick of hearing it she'd never replace the battery!!!

Here is what Shirley got.

The basket was made by me as well as the basket liner.

I embroidered her shirt with

Shirley4 Giggles
agardenersforum.com

I LOVE that T-shirt! And isn't that basket beautiful?!

Wow, the basket IS beautiful--I love the shape and colors! And the shirt is too cool!

So nice that you two got to meet up!

Wow, very beautiful.

We had a lot of fun while there and and have already talked about meeting again.

Shirley was very generous and paid for lunch and is delightful and funny.
You all missed out on a good time.

Oh, and since I had the camera Shirley got her picture taken by me.

This is last of the photos, I hope you enjoyed them.

You both look so great!



Me too Cindy, me too!

I sure wish I could meet more people....

Liked your edit! This is Friday night!! I am very nostalgic when it comes to our Friday night parties. I am missing them. It's been a long while since one happened!

That's going to be my favorite shirt too!!!!

Counting the one Shirley gave me, I have 3 house plants.

Maybe I need to find two more birds so I can have a choir!

I could send you another one?!!!

A choir of birdies.... Now that would be funny!!!!!

WOw I go to take a nap and all these picture show up!!! Hi Shirley Good to see you!!! Hiya older wiser sister!

Nice to see a pic of you beautiful gals.

I am so happy that you got to meet

Looks like the two of you had a wonderful time! It is so nice to see pics! The gifts you exchanged are wonderful!

Triss....I was going to say the same thing about the "Shirley Files" but as I read on I saw you wrote that.

((And now WE all have a pic for our "Shirley Files"))

Hey, you could have seen me anytime in my PB!!

How many files do you have anyways Shirley?

The Shirley Files!!! Are these centrally located? Or, does everyone have one??

Jessica, I have A BUNCH !!!!!!!

People Files: Their Profile, so I can remember who they are;
..any picture they've post that I like...the best funnies, said..etc...a whole file of Diane's Rock Tower...all the Cindy Classics and lots more...all of Bill's Wild Willy stories and pictures...etc.

Gardening Files: Lots and lots and lots

Game Room: Some things I especially wanted to keep

GH Info: Questions I have asked about how to do things or what things meant, and the answers received.

Does everyone feel calmer now about my files??!!

Ohhh!!....and all of Diane's new puppy, Emmy Lou....and all the Poems from Writer's topic. I think that's all.

Should I copy all of this into BH so everyone else who has asked will feel more calm??

You are so funny Shirley! I bet it would be pretty funny to peek in at those!

It would, it would!!!!
