Hey Olds, how do you keep the roses looking so good year to year...mine usually start to droop and lose petals after about a week.[;)]

If a man says he knows anything at all, he knows nothing what he aught to know. But...
You all are a hoot. Susan is doing fine... we think anyway. So much for doctors.
I told her she needed to start thinking of getting younger... Man o man this is getting $$$$$$$$$$~~! [:0]

Hi Olds,
First time I've been able to log on for some time. Glad to hear that Susan is doing well.
PS
I probably will not be able to log back on for another week or two. Renovations are going much slower that I could have imagined.
Olds,
You know she is worth the expense. She has to put up with you! I am glad to hear she is doing better.

Kummok, do you use semi-gloss or satin? I was thinking a high gloss finish would give them that "just taken out of the rain" look, sort of the wet, freshly cut effect.

I like the way you think, WTF! Maybe if we brush flicked on a few drops AFTER the initial coat dried, it would look like fresh morning dew drops!![;)][:D]

<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote"> Excellent news, Raye, I've been wondering. Elaine and I went out for dinner on the 9th to celebrate life--it was one year to the day since she was diagnosed. She and her cousin went swimming in a local lake on that day to get that tingly, roll in the snow feeling![:0] That would do it, since it was raining and the temp was cold.
Thinking of you both,
Tom
Keep On Tom... keep on... 1 year down and 4 to go. My best to you both.

Olds, you're an inspiration to the rest of us. I hope my wife dosen't see this topic.[;)]
I count about 23 roses there. Is that about right Olds?
