Oh Susie, You are so so welcome. And thank you for your kind words and prayers. To tell you the truth, our family really needs them right now. Sorry it took me a while to respond. I haven't been on too much lately, but I'm hoping that will change. Happy and Blessed New Year, Nancy

whoopdedeaux, I found your post from last April asking for help and receiving it from so many of our TX and former TX friends (and others!), and even though I was not one of the ones who gave you the excellent, helpful advise, I hated to see you waiting for replies, but I can offer you a very special "you're welcome!". I'm so glad your garden is doing well and you've found so many tough roses to begin your garden. You've got some magnificent roses that will only get better as they mature, and with the rain you've had this spring your garden should be in wonderful shape. I share your excitement at your imminent spring show. Post photos!!! Sherry

Mike, I agree with you. Norma is very kind and generous. I have a bunch of leaves from my Hummel's that I am rooting and I am going to have fun giving them away. Norma has emailed me and given all kinds of sugestions. I need to hurry and post pictures of her generous cutting I recieved from her. Newbies like me can sure learn a lot from Norma if they listen to what she is saying. Thanks to her, I even checked out the website for Huntington Conservatory. I bet she has 10 very happy campers!

I am so glad you figured it out so quickly. Hopefully you will have better luck than Sandy did keeping her off of it. When my mom was in her final days of her cancer battle, Dilaudid (spelling alert) worked well but every person reacts differently to these drugs. There are so many options and I hope you find a pain medicine that works quickly. My thoughts and prayers are with your MIL, your hubby and you. Life isn't for the faint of heart, huh?
