Hi Nikki, your garden sounds like it will be a very calming place to relax. Can't wait to see some pics.

My dad always bought live Christmas trees and it was our turn to get the tree for his last X-mas before he passed. The tree is now almost 10 years old and is going strong.

When we put our pool in the workers didn't understand why I would spend 600.00 to have it moved. I tried to explain how important it is to me but they just shook their heads. I am so thankful to hubby for not complaining about the money to move it. He loved dad as much as the rest of us.

I also have one of his rosebushes out front. When mom had to sell the house I went over and dug it up. I also put one of his big rocks he had next to it. My dad collected rocks, I even have his old coffee can half full of rocks that he wrote "rocks/ valuable" on it. They are just rocks (who knows since he worked at the test site, they may be radioactive LOL) but every time I see that can I get a smile on my face.

Oh and I pick up a rock to take home from every place we go camping. Hubby calls me Lucy Remember the Lucy episode where she filled up the trailer with rocks?

Anyway, I rambled but thanks again for happy memories of dad...Sue
