My mother in law loves hers and I am amazed at how well it does in Ohio!
I got it from the Arbor Day Foundation so I'm sure they sent me a type that will do well here. I love mine too. It's beautiful and I think it drew my first hummingbird of the year FINALLY 😍. I haven't seen a single one until today maybe. I have a Rose of Sharon too so I think he'll be fine without the sugar water. Also the neighbors have Rose of Sharon. We'll see.

I always cringe watching gymnastics. Afraid someone's gonna break their neck on live TV.
I do too but it's beautiful what they can do. I enjoy watching the ice skating too. They both remind me of a form of dancing. They probably love doing it or they wouldn't because of the risks.😊

Beautiful day today, really fantastic weather.
We watched the Opening ceremonies...very cool.....the 100 yr old French Olympian was cool to see too.

I had a friend who claimed to ski like the famous French skier Jean Claude Killy, till I put him on ski's. Guess what? He boo boo'ed. When at first we deceive, what a web of lies we weave. Apparently those lies hurt, a lot! Lol

kerry got her new car this morning, I am following her home from the car dealership 91 miles from home. She calls: "I need gas"
Ok hon,I'll follow you to a gas station. Meanwhile I'm thinking that it was odd a new car came empty.

She rolls to the pump, I park on the side to wait.
3-4 minutes pass
Phone rings
" yes honey?"
"The gas won't go in the tank"
LOL (here we go)
"Don't worry sweetheart, I'll walk over"
I go over and take a seat in the driver's seat as she shows me the symbols which I am looking at for the first time-- a long while line with a short red line under it.

"It keeps turning off, maybe I'm pumping too fast, do I have the right gas, what could be wrong"

Next to these is a number
It read: 386 miles
I had to take a moment before starting my truck when I got back to it. I was just laughing too hard. Hey, no doubt she was nervous with it being the first time in a new car and I might have made the same mistake but that doesn't detract from the fact that it was just too funny to make up!

I know it might not always seem like it, but Kerry is the most magnificent woman I've ever met.....but it takes patience....lots of loving patience .....

I watched as much of the opening ceremony as I could before I fell asleep. I enjoyed what I saw anyway. Especially the French national anthem and the other music too.
