Local Events for Dallas, TX - February - April 2018

Ron and Alexandra Seigel - Thank you for being the only one to comment and like me today! I sincerely appreciate the compliment about my collage and photos too. That really means a lot.

May you continue to find the happiness and joy as you always do. 

Kathleen Daniels - Purple is also my favorite color. I remember the day my parents took me to the store to pick out my own winter coat. I must have been around 6, 7, 8, or 9 years old. That was a very important day for me, because with 2 older sisters, I always got their left-overs. 

The place was called Robert Hall, a department store in Chicago. My siblings had to stay home by themselves. I got to touch and feel all the colors of the rainbow on that coat rack. Winter was coming, and as always, it was going to be another cold winter in Chicago. I picked out the only purple coat they had with a hood and white fur trim. My mother told me to try it on and it was  roomy but mom said, you'll be wearing layers. It looks perfect on you! My father said I looked just like a purple Eskimo and I remember smiling back at him. They bought me that coat and I loved wearing it. 

You know Kathleen, cherished memories last a lifetime. Yes! I wish I had kept my first camera, but as luck would have it, he bought me more cameras and transistor radios for a long, long time. Those were happy days too! 

I still love flowers, the color purple, music, and photography. They represent the blending of my life story. I'm glad to share this with you today and give to you the gift of joy! 

Hi Sheri Sperry - MCNE® - Don't you love seeing bulbs burst into color in January. I remember the first January in my new house in Flower Mound, I was absolutely thrilled when I had crocus and tulips. It has been a longer winter than usual here in Flower Mound. The temperatures are either in the 80s or below 30 or 60ish. I think you're right, plants can get confused too!

Myrl Jeffcoat - Awe... thank you so much for appreciating my photographs and collage. I try to arrange my collage as carefully as a bouquet of flowers. Also, thank you for featuring me in the Photos Group! What an honor! Thank you for the joy!

As far as being lucky, I do consider myself very lucky to have two choices: 1) Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens; 2) Fort Worth Botanical Gardens/Japanese Gardens. I wish every major city had one for residents and visitors. There's just something so special about spending a day at the Gardens. They always give me hope and happiness. 

George Souto - If I could send you flowers and brighten up the sky I would! Actually, today is cloudy and grey, gloomy too. Windy as well. When you really think about it George, there's a good reason why birds fly south for the winter and north when summer's near. In the perfect world, I would have 2 homes, one in the south; one in the north living in each six months each.
