Adorable Johnny, Once again thankyou for brightening our spirits! ;)

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Nonie which dress are you wearing? I don't want to wear the same one. ;)

I think the hats are fantastic. HB always wears a hat when she goes out.

Hi all. I got a great deal on yet more palms from the nursery at the back of Market of Marion.
They did a decent job on the installation. I am pleased. What a huge difference in price from only a year ago.

See there, even this yakkity yak thread can contain some decent info.

Johnny..That pic is adorable..
I love it...

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Love the picture. Now I have two things to aspire to. Selling the house and looking like one of the sistahs in the picture. As bad as the marekt is I still think I'll sell the house before I ever look like that.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Donna - from all of us -
Is there enough to go around? What happened to the drip? Nonie is stopping by your house to get hers. Remember you and John are flying east to deliver mine.

Love ya,

HB

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Sam, we have been to the market primarily to buy veggies.

Do they sell other trees at the market other than palms?

HB

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Yes. This weekend I bought bougainvilla, confederate jasmine, knockout roses, herbs, etc.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Hi Sam,

Please let me know if the Confederate Jasmine has a mild or strong scent. I was told that it is the best Jasmine to buy - flowers longest and has a beautiful scent. Want to see if we can get approval for an arbor to put vining plants on that flower.

We have one Knockout Rose and want to get more. It had beautiful flowers on it.

Looking forward to seeing what you bought.

Happy planting and harvesting.

HB

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

What a wonderful thread!! I have a feeling this one will be frequented more than any others!

It's so sad hearing about all of the folks heading away from TV. Hope you will be back to TV soon. But it's so neat hearing about the wonderful, deep friendships that have developed. Great group, TOTV people! :bigthumbsup: :bigthumbsup:

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Johnny

TOTV Sistah's pic brings back the wonderful day Mr. Bright and I spent with Susan and Tom in Mt. Dora on Susan's birthday. She and I spent more time visiting ladies shops to try on hats and model them than anything else. Our husbands were so very patient with us.

In one store we got a little carried away with the modeling. It was a shop that sold new clothes that were designed with the vintage look. And the hats in there were marvelous...reminded me of the Kentucky Derby. We just had to get the camera out and take picture after picture of us wearing many different hats. Promptly, we were told by the manager that pictures weren't allowed in the store. Oh my, I hope that's as serious of trouble Susan and I get into...but I have my doubts.

Anyway, I think every woman should own one beautiful hat. http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h.../36_15_571.gif Next time I'm in Mt. Dora, a fancy hat will be first on my must buy list.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

HB,

Im the one on the end in the green dress with the big butt!!! You would know me anywhere!

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Nonie are you sure, I thought that was me. ;)

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Good Evening Sistah's,

As I read all of your posts, I begin to http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/painting.gif a picture ----
I am here in RI , packing my bags to come to TV to enjoy the warm sun and friendly faces,
and everyone is leaving. http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/sigh.gif

Now I will never get to meet y'all. http://www.millan.net/minimations/sm...consoling2.gif :dontknow:
I was really looking forward to finally meeting the creators of all these posts that keep each and every one of us in stitches.

Just keep posting until we met. http://www.millan.net/minimations/sm...utersmile1.gif

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Nonie if you're in the green, then I'm in the plaid, that means Barefoot is in the red. (I hate plaid!) Will the other two sistahs please step forward and choose their dresses! :o

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Hi, I will take the blue. One of my favorite colors. Chels I agree with you about red for Barefoot, that is her color.

I guess that is why I have so many blue or denim skirts.

Wherever we go, it seems I am always carrying a bag or two. I have the largest Ameribag made - when we travel it has weighed over thirty pounds. Since it is a pocket book I am not questioned about it. Fortunately.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Hi Kathie, what did you do today. I thought I heard those bells on your toes ringing.

Love,

HB

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

We (husband Stan and son Mark) are heading to TV, but won't arrive till May 18th. and then leave June 8th to start making our way back to Canada. Hoping another luncheon or get together can be arranged while we are there. I know Paul & Marcia (PM10) will also be in TV, I believe, the same time as us. We will not have access to a computer and hope a date can be set before we leave. We are not computer savy, but hopefully will be able to check at the computer club in TV if we have not heard anything before we leave.

JoanneP I am sure you mentioned that you live in Liberty Park - this is where our rental home is on Mount Vernon St. Will you be there when we are??

Thanks. Donna

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Hi Donna,

The public libraries have computers you can use, also the one in Paradise.

HB

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

DD
Sorry I am arriving on May 9 and leaving May 18. I will miss you guys to.



As for living in TV, I live on the historic"other" side.......

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

That's too bad we will miss one another. Don't know why I thought you were in Liberty Park obviously I have you mixed up with someone else. Anyhow, enjoy your time in TV.

Donna

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

dd...we're not there now...but we have a villa on Montrose Court

Our house has an address sign that reads "Parrots Landing"

Wish I were there to meet you...just left last weekend and miss it sooooo bad already!

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Joann, Hope we meet you soon. :welcome:

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Yes, Donna, we will be in TV the week of Memorial Day. It would be so much fun to get together. When it gets a little closer, lets try to plan something. Maybe more TOTV'ers could join us for a fun lunch!

Kathie - Lucky you! you're there!!!!!

Sam - thanks for mentioning the trees/bushes/flowers you bought. I'm trying to keep a list of names of some good plants/trees, so I'll have some ideas to look for, when we're doing some landscaping. (I realize I'm being so premature about things like landscaping, etc - being we're not going to be moving to TV until next year.) But I can dream, right??

Marcia

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Had cartoons running on 2 televisions (to keep my grandsons occupied no matter what room they were in) when a loud ruckus caught my attention outside.

It was a flock of bluejays.

As I looked out my kitchen window there was a chicken hawk with a jay in it's clutches and flying towards the "natural" area of our yard. The hawk settled in the midst of our pine trees holding tight to its prey.

About 100 other bluejays settled into the trees and loudly screeched while they swooped downward and around continuously.

I've never heard anything like this before, witnessed a hawk capturing its prey, or birds trying to protect its own.

What a sight...needless to say...the bluejay lost.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Even tho I know this is part of the food chain of nature, it always makes me feel so sad for the little guy that loses. :(

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Bright, Nature can be sooo intriguing. Did you get the 1st email of pics?

I respectfully request to be the redhead in the middle. It may be blonding now (the women in my family do not go grey) but I've always been a redhead. ;D

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Nonie I feel your pain about leaving. I think there must be something in the water in TV...adults just don't make such fast and close friendships in so little time as you do in TV. I think the place is magic. Those of you who read these posts...these feelings are not exclusive to us. TV is just that way. Amazing.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Got the pics Susan, ty

I have to admit something....I'm growing my hair out longer and it looks absolutely, positively, without a doubt HORRIBLE...

Please bear with me...

Until I decide to chop it off again...LOL

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Marcia, when those dreams start becoming closer to being a reality, you are gonna feel like your in heaven. I know cause that's how I'm feeling. I told everyone last night that when I turned the corner onto Morse from 466, I screamed "I'm Home!!" What a great feeling and when we're all there, it will be more wonderful than we can ever imagine.

Yes, I am lucky, I just love it here and am having a wonderful time with all my sistahs. If I'm back at the end of May, and I don't have any plans right now for that, we'll make sure we have a special party for you and Donna. See ya guys, soon I hope.

Kath

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Thanks, Kathie! We just have to be patient, I know. Now, have a great visit! And remind people to take lots of pics at tomorrow's luncheon!!

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Yes, Marcia. You can dream. Those dreams will come true before you know it.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Johnny, OMG, Barbara had tickets to The View??? My favourite program. I want to fly to NY with a friend from Canada, but tickets are so hard to get. Can you ask her to do a post on this thread ... describing what it was like attending a live show.

For those of you who aren't retired yet, The View is on at 11 AM, a panel show for women.
They discuss hot topics, have guests and it is often entertaining.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Hi Barefoot, Barbara is not a computer person, yet. I think I explained a while back that she taught kindergarten for some 35 years and never used a computer while doing so. She never was around computers as other professions might require. She enjoys sitting with me and reading the posts but would rather curl up with a book then be on the computer. I am working on her. She asked me to tell you about her experience. About 10:20am everyone was seated and given a breakfast bar and some juice. (unlike Oprah where you got a new car). A stand up comedian then comes out and warms up the audience. The set is much smaller that it appears on television and the crowd is only about 120 people. She said Barbara Walters looks very, very thin. During the breaks you are allowed to ask any questions to the panel. Make up artists also appear during the breaks and freshen up the ladies make up. The show is mostly spontaneous. There are a few set changes during the breaks. One at the table and another with a couch when the guest segment is on. BTW, the guest for the show was a porno star. They were seated in the top row so they could not see that well but enjoyed the experience. Well that's about the whole story. We hope to meet you when you and Mr. Barefoot return to TV. Stay well, Johnny & Barbara

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Johnny, I want to be the girl in the purple dress. Can I, can I, Can I???? ;)

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Johnny, thanks so much for taking the time to tell me about Barbara's experience at The View. I just watched that particular show yesterday. Too bad they didn't have better guests. It is interesting that guests get to ask questions of the panel during commercials, I didn't realize that. It would be cool.

How did she like Samantha (from Sex and the City)? She sure looked different with dark hair. I thought the porno queen who is transitioning into movie stardom by doing a movie called "Zombie Strippers" was really lame!! ;D I think she has a real stretch to transition into anything!

So now my secret is out, I spend an hour every morning watching The View. Don't tell anyone, OK?

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Sam I don't know if the purple dress is taken yet. I may have to add 5 more women to the pic and then name them. I think we have at least 10 sistah's. Maybe all the sistah's will have to do roll call for me so I can get a body count so to speak. :bigthumbsup:

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Johnny,
I will be happy with an encore pic... :bigthumbsup:
