It's just that men are much less discerning when it comes to a woman's looks than are other women. We're much more critical of each other than any man will ever be (unless he's a pyschopath who just hates women). Of course John did, in the long run, realize true beauty when he saw it in the person of the lovely Heidi. Or maybe he just got lucky.Someone up the comment line mentioned you had an injury. Did I miss something somewhere, or is this info received from another source? Hope you're okay whatever happened.Best Wishes,Myra Suzanne,

But then I'm older than both of you, I'm older than the dirt I'm planting the flowers and veggies in..... well maybe not AS old, but I sure feel like it. Aren't we Princesses this weekend, Princess Lori?

My husband isn't much for gardening. I on the other hand love it. It is a stress-reliever for me. Pulling weeds, works wonders. I imagine someone's head....oh, sorry. Any way...my husband may not have an interest in the flower garden....but just the mention of a flowering tree or shrub...WOW! He loves them. He planted a flowering cherry tree in the back yard last weekend - MAJOR project; took him ALL day. Gotta mix the potting soil with the peat moss. Dig the hole, mix that dirt in with the other mixture. he is such a perfectionist.... But the trees he plants do thrive and are beautiful in the Spring!!! So, I guess when you hit middle-age you need something to look forward to....planting trees, shrub and flowers - and then drinking to celebrate. Oh...and then off to bed by 11:00 because you are exhausted and every muscle in your body aches.Lori Gardening….hmmmm. My husband isn’t much for gardening. I on the other hand love it.

Some cool interviews coming up. I am not too excited about the Joe Farcus one though. Just from my own personal opinion I think he is making the ships a bit too tacky. Good luck with your gardening, I have given up on it entirely and resorted to buying my produce at Jewel. _BigMike Chief Blog Security John,

I even can grow grass really tall. It seems like our grass always needs mowed. I know what it is...I work to hard to get the flowers to grow. The only thing I can really grow is my strawberry patch. But it is kinda hard to kill strawberry plants; I have even mowed them over and the grow back.Try not to miss Hedi too much. Have a safe trip Hedi, and we will keep John in line....LOL.

I was born and raised in the UK(have lived in the US for many years). In the late fifties early sixties ( and you feel old) Mum & Dad would bring us to Southend on Sea for our annual summer holiday. Happy memories of days gone by. I was part of those olden days LOL. Heidi you have a wondeful visit with your Mum. What a great deal the blog thingy is for me. I have been drawn just a bit closer to my homeland, and at the same time have a good laugh. Thanks John. Mar & Steve John finding your blog catapultated me down memory lane.
