Has anyone heard from Florence/Zeffy Rose lately? I dropped her an e-mail a few weeks ago and did not get a reply. I hope everything is OK with her.

Thanks!

I don't think I've seen her posting on the forum recently. I'm also rather worried since it's not like her to stay away too long.

I was wondering too, I hope she is okay.

I've been thinking about Florence lately and worrying too.

RE: Zeffy Rose

I was wondering the same. Do I remember rightly that her husband was unwell?

Still no word from Florence? I sure hope all is well. She's such a little sweetheart.

RE: Zeffy Rose

I thought I had seen a post from her within the past couple of weeks, but I don't know where it could be.

Florence, I hope you see this post, and answer. She is quite involved with her family, and hopefully she is visiting them, and will respond soon.

I looked for her in the Roses Conversation Forum and that is pathetic. I wish we could renew it. That would give us a place for visits with those who don't actively garden much anymore.

She lives in a part of the world that has been having interesting weather lately. I'm sure she has a lot on her mind just now.

Florence emailed me this morning to say she would check in today. I am sure she will, but do not know when.

You have all touched my heart---thanks so much for your concern---

Most recently we were without power for a few days--Bob has a generator which helped with the important electric items---he also has a small propane cookstove which helped----not very much damage from Irene in this immediate area----

earlier in the summer we jouned BIL and 23 family members for a vacation in the Pocono Mtns

Haven't been spending much time on the computer lately---still have a problem with back if I sit too long-----
I have accepted the fact that my gardening days are very limited but still feel blessed to be able to walk without too much pain--

Carol I've been worried about your place on LBI----hope all is well

It has been a busy summer----DH brother rented a place for the family in the Pocono Mtns ---we were there with 23 family members---it was nice

My DD is still struggling with the divorce --it will be 4 years in Sept-----it has been very painful for all of us---remember---Sept 2007 when I had my second hip replacement----DD was here taking care of me and her DH walked out on her-
The divorce has caused many health problems for DD ( she had knee replacement last year)--She is doing better but it has been very difficult---She was devastated when he left---

I think my 81 years have been taking a toll on me--very little energy since second back surgery in 2010----but I'm still not complaining ---too many folks in much worse shape than I am----

I have much to be thankful for----I will try to check in more often---I miss all of you--

I too miss "conversations" we had such a good group over there---
This morning I was surprised to see a lovely liitle bloom on "Grace"---poor neglected baby----she is so pretty----

Thanks again for all you concern----

Florence

Hi Florence - You'd been on my mind and I slipped over here to look for you a few days ago. I'm so glad you turned up (!) and put all our minds at ease, happily just 'life' getting in the way.

Our summer has been crazy busy too - 49 days of guests from Croatia. I'm not even saying 'how'd it get to be September' - I KNOW how it got to be September.

Like everyone, I think of you often...

Florence,

I'm glad to see that you are ok and no longer MIA. Know that we are thinking of you and hoping that things smooth out for you and your daughter very soon.

RE: Zeffy Rose

So happy to hear from you Florence.
I had a funny summer too. It started with my wonderful trip to France and England then I was horrified at the stae of my garden when I returned. I've been working like crazy ever since trying to bring some order into it. You'll be happy to hear that my DD(Rose) is going to have a baby. I'll be a grandmother at last!

RE: Zeffy Rose

Thank goodness we know now that you're okay, Florence. The forum wouldn't be the same without you. You're the grande dame of our little group and much loved.

I'm so happy for you Pam! Congratulations on the soon-to-be new addition to the family. In a very few years you'll have a little person following you around the garden and "helping".

RE: Zeffy Rose

It is so nice to hear from all my dear friends here on GW---I think of all of you very often---

Pam----what wonderful news----It is the best joy to have a new little one in the family--Is Rose your daughter who had that gorgeous wedding in your garden?--Our neighbors have a little 2 year old girl who is a joy to us----and now a new little boy--what a delight to have such wonderful neighbors

Maureen I check on that wonderful book you sent me and think of you each time I read it---

Ingrid----I often think of you and your delightful DH----I often mention him to my DD----
Gardenatlanta----I just read on another post that you would like to name a rose for your DW--( she is a lucky lady)

I mention both of you to my DD as an example of some decent men in this world---

Take care everyone and thanks again for your concern--I will try to nbe here more often.
Florence
