The purple flowers. I saw some of those on Saturday. See my post later this week. I am not sure if it is a type of lavendar or what. I notice the flowers are fuzzy. Do you know what it is called?

Beautiful! We've never been there. Those vacation rentals are beautiful. Do you rent them through the Gardens or are they privately owned? I wonder if they'll let you bring dogs?

Hi Sue,
Isn't BG a relaxing place! This was my 3rd time going. The first time was about 20 years ago...and it was before it was developed...just the ruins and museum...no golf course,cottages or restaurants. Loved all your beautiful pics! BG is really situated in a pretty area, isn't it? I loved all the rolling hills...like another world there. :-)

Oh, I tried to wash my hounds with the mouthwash, too...and so did one of my friends. LOL Fortunately, nothing came out...it wasn't working. I have a feeling everyone who goes in there must do that...that's probably why it doesn't actually work...so many folks trying to wash their hands using it. ;-)

TIME OUT..........................

In the best interest of my left hand I find it necessary to take a short break from blogging.......that nasty staph infection has refused to go away and with no signs of it improving I need to stop using the computer......every time I go online to type the finger resembles W.C. Fields nose.....not a good thing.....I hope I can return soon and catch up with my Weekends in Paris....but in the meantime...remember.....Don't garden without gloves!! See you all soon.....

I SEE DEAD PEOPLE.........a Blog Pause.

Daughter got a call on Wednesday at 4:00 a.m. from our home town Police Force..... It seems the "Big Boss" called them after seeing women in his closet and a dead man hanging from his Ceiling Fan.... Only Problem.......He doesn't have any ceiling fans in his house... Daughter...... having to make the decision what to do with him.....since we were home in Georgia sound asleep....and unable to hear even a bomb go off... Had the police take him to the local hospital...... Now the BB is heading towards 90 in a few months.... He lives alone and still drives.... We have been trying to get him into an Assisted Living Home for the past three years... He refused to budge.... He refused to let anyone into the house.. We also tried to get him to give up his license....to no avail.... The sad part is we could not get anyone to assist us... His doctor told us years ago that he was a grown man and we couldn't tell him what to do.... So back to the ER this Wednesday he was checked ...

Our Tablescape "Diva" at http://www.betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/ Stop by Susan's site for links to everyone participating in this fun weekly event. HAPPY 50TH. BIRTHDAY BARBIE!!!!! Do you remember when you received your very first Barbie doll? I do and it started out as the all time worst birthday of my life.......It was October 8, 1959.....Barbie had just come on the scene on March 10th of that year and she was the hottest thing to hit town....Every girl wanted a Barbie doll including me.....My birthday came and the folks did not get me Miss B....I was heart broken. Then to make matters worse I was shunned by the neighbor friend who was younger then me... Wendy Combs lived next door and was a semi-friend.....meaning she only had to be friends with me because I lived next door.... So that day she was going down to Superior Pharmacy with her "real" frien...
