Well its not new anymore but I sure miss it.My cousins from Goose Creek S.C. was here over the weekend and left late Sunday night.We had visited the family graves and I rode in the back seat of there van.Most of you know I carry my trusty camera everywhere I go.I went to get it from my purse yesterday to take pictures of the cardinals playing around all over here in my yard wellllll it wasn't in my purse and the last time I saw it was in their van.I remember my purse falling over as we went to the last cementery.I called and left them a message on their cell and sure enough my camera decided to take a trip.This morning it was in Waco,Tex.They are to mail it back to me tomorrow.I guess it wanted to go see S.C.as bad as I did and just stowed away.

I had to go back to my thumping gizzard :) Dr.today.He said all is going well and my leg arteries are not as bad as he thought as it must be my back causing the most leg pain.I will go to my Chiropractor to help that.I don't have to have the angioplasty on my heart are legs yet.He said the bypass that was done in 2003 is doing its job real well.No more surgery anytime soon .Yippee !!!!!! He said I do have one concern in the lower part of my heart and if I start having more chest pain than I have now that I have to use Nitro pills on then I need to return to him. I am released to return to work Monday :) :) :)

This past Monday I came home from work about 10:45 pm.I had a message on my phone to call Kitty and a phone number.I called her this morning.It was one of my school mates from 1960 .I was a Freshman in Huntsville High School.
This is my picture in 1960 from the year book.

This is Kitty she was trying to find me for years.Didn't know who I married so didn't know my last name.
She found me from Ancestry .com
This is Kitty

This is my 5 best friends

Charlene ,Dorothy, Wanda ,and Glynda, No picture for Bonnie

I think the pictures are so funny and we were so very young.
I talked to Kitty, Dorothy ,Wanda and Bonnie for hours today had so much fun .We talked about everything we ever done I have laughed so much I hurt.
We are going to meet in Huntsville where we went to school in the fall. I left and moved to Madisonville and was in school in 1961.

This plant rules my yard

Passa Flora

I know I have showed this plant so much but it amazes me at how it rules my yard this year.Its so dry here and it is thriving.I pull it up moow it down,weedeat it and one is on my cedar tree ,on my
water fall figure on my headboard,and on my bird bath.I wonder when I will find it in my bedroom growing.

This is my water fall statue when the Passion vine started up it.

This is it on my cedar tree and birdhouse is almost covered and my plumeria is under all of this.On the right is the headboard with my Moon Flower Vine and Passion Flower Vine.Moon Flower not doing good this year.

I hope you can see the vine almost to the top of the tree.
The sad thing is its about the only thing in my yard that isn't dying .The grass is a dry crackly mess.I do have a few other things that are blooming but not many. I'll have to enjoy everyone elses.I do hope we get rain soon or my complete garden will be a thing of the past.

I hope you don't mind seeing this plant again.

I do hope you enjoy the pictures.

She did welcome me with a mooooo.

On her way out of the drive she seems to be saying goodbye.

I found this butterfly in trouble.I sure feel sorry for it but the spider had to eat too.

You would think this would have been a lesson to the others but I guess not.

These are my blooms today and tonight.

The white and wine hybiscus is taking off really good.

This hybiscus is so deep color wine but the picture shows it to be red.

The White night blooming Datura.

This is one of a bigger Datura plant this plant seed must have been tracked over to this part of the yard last year as my main plant is on the opposite side of the yard.

Another yellow glad is starting to bloom a little late this year.The apricot sparkle that got broke
some how is now about to bloom again.

One of my moon flower vines is blooming tonight.It also is struggling from wont of a good rain.

This is my mamoth sunflower but the flower is not as big as they usually get but with no rain it hasn't grown like usual.

My mandavilla is trying to start blooming.Two blooms
today.One in the morning and two tonight.

I found a few new blooms on my walk .
