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!!!

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!!
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.

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.

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.

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!!!
The basket was made by me as well as the basket liner.
I embroidered her shirt with

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.

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!
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!
