Our immune systems do suffer when we're under stress. Gosh I wish you could transport that beautiful house to TX but I'll be praying for the perfect place there for you both.<br /><br />And yes, you better save me some time when you visit your sons next! Y'all have to come see us! And if Doreen and the Fisherman are down here at the same time, what a time we would have! <br /><br />So let's plan on it!<br /><br />Dewena<br /><br />P.S.

I will keep my fingers crossed with you! :-) Hydrangeas are one of my most favorite flowers but I've never been able to get them to grow. The one bush I have is thriving at this house and I have to leave it behind. In Midlothian, where we lived previously, hydrangeas would not grow because of the soil. I do hope that wherever we live when we move, that they will grow. <br /><br />I look forward to being able to get together with you girls!!Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.com
