HI MICHELLE! You are the one who made the great phtot scrap book, right? Is that photo still on your flickr? My daughtere wanted to see, and I forgot to send the photo to her. Daughter does scrappbooking some. So while you are crafting, I might come look over your shoulder for a bit. Welcome to SA and no need to be shy, we do not bite.

YEAH, I have my Avatar! THANK YOU GATH!

This is not just a peach, this is a local landmark in our county, a water tower that is shaped and painted like a peach! I cannot get an avatar of the peach tower, with the base showing, they are not SQUARE photos. This water tower can be seen from Interstate 65, about 45 miles south of Birmingham, Alabama.

Mickey, put down that puzzle book!! Your job (if you choose to accept it) is to lead us in a craft class. This might be especially helpful to Stella, who can't seem to get her mind off time zone factoring . She obviously is having a difficult time going cold turkey, so we need to bring her down slowly. Making a card or album might do the trick !! Forget your shyness and help the woman!!!

HI ROLA, are you there?

Hi MizTricia, yep Im here....
Happy Mother Day

Happy Mother's Day to you also , well a bit late there. How you doing?

Good thank MizTricia, the boys gave me brecky in bed. Received a large block of Chocolate and cash (to go towards a 'Nest of Tables' I would like to buy for the Lounge Room.) The Cash is part Mother's Day/ Birthday gift from the Boys
Hubby and the Boys made lunch today.

What is your avatar? I cannot make that out, except a green circle with another circle inside.

oooooohhh forgot my chair....

Taurus the Bull........

OH GREAT, sounds like your family spoiled you nicely. I have not heard from my girls today, well cards arrived in themail and on the computer, but no phone calls yet. Hubby did take me out last night, our anniversary was last week. Had a nice Mexican meal.

That sounds nice, going out to dinner. We rang MIL in Scotland a few hours ago, and I rang my mum this morning to wish them both Happy Mother's Day.

Alll, Ok, from the zodiac. I like the chair you changed it too alo, colorful. Can you tell what My avatar is? I think it is a bit hard to see, for old eyes.

Glad you were able to chat with MIL and your Mom. Both of mine are gone, and I miss them both, espically on Mother's Day. it still seems strange that i do not need to shop for Mother's day gifts or cards.

I read somewhere that it is a Peach on a tower...... you live in Peach country.........yummmmmm love peaches, they are now out of season here.

sorry about your mums. My mum is 87 and is not the best health. MIL is much younger at 72...

I just saw that Stella was on EASY board, tired to get her to join us, hope she can.

MizTricia, sorry that the competition is over, but hey it was getting far too hetic trying to keep the 5 minutes up.... Stella won, not long after hubby and I left to go the shops.
Been a bit strange not checking times, chatting, and setting the oven timer, feeling a bit lost.

HEY, at 72, my Mom was still going dancing heheh. she lived to 87, so a very long life with most of it in very good health.

I MISS IT TOO! it was soo funny, setting timer, and wearing it in my pocket, yep, that was me.

I think I was about 4 or 5 of the YOU KNOW YOU entries heheh

MIL is quite active, very involved in Volunteer work, and is now on Holidays till 8th July in Scotland.
My Mum active still, goes to her many clubs, without her car is unable to do the volunteer work she still had been doing up to date.

So, why are you up so late? and what time is it there? I do not know Aussie geography, I really need a map. Are you on west coast?

No I just set the Oven, walking up and down the house doing things, while keeping an eye on the time, lurking on pooter, to try to keep the Competition going as long as possible. It was such fun thou, chatting to one and all.

Iam in Perth (in the suburbs), the capital of Western Australia, located in the lower South West on the Coast. The time here is 2 hours behind the date/time stamp....it is now 10.26pm

We All did a great job of keeping it going for so long. All of you in Australia keeping it up while we slept over here.

I ALMOST kept it going, one minute too late getting my post in after Stella's winning post, and I was really trying to type fast after I saw she had 5 minutes going when I first saw it heheheh.

and it is nearly time to go to bed. Son #1 went to Uni yesterday to do an assignment with other Uni Mates, left home at 10.00am, got home 5.00am this morning. and I dont sleep very well, when the babies are not home tucked up safe and sound in bed.......

I had two pages open, one to write the comments, and one to refresh. and had most of the comments ready to send in time towards the end.

thank you! for the geography and time zone info.

I have never chatted with anyone from western Australia. I have cyber friends in Whyalla, I think that is south estern? I actually met this gal and her hubby and hosted her 25 year old son for a week when he made a trip over at a year later. Other friends on east coast also.

Well MizTricia, you are my first Miss Alabama......
where is Alabama located in the USA. I know where Oklahoma is - hubbys Uncle (in Law) lived there for a while, he now lives in Florida...

OK, you get to bed, I know how it was when children not at home when they should be. Mom's sleep with one ear open till they get home.

Good to chat again, Rola, and you must tell me about Perth someday soon. Since i shall probably never get over there, hearing from natives is next best.

OK, if you know where Florida is, I am just north of the panhandle part of Florida, In fact, /Florida robbed Alabama of much of it's rightly deserved coast line heheheh. So that makes me south eastern USA, and just west of the hangy down part of florida.

Yes, I am going to bed now. Nice chatting, catch ya next time........enjoy your day.

I will check out Google tomorrow, and locate you......Thanks, does this mean you are in same time zone as Florida, or the next (1hour later)

We have HOT summers, espically July and August, with high high humidity, about 6 miserable weeks. Spring and fall is delightful, winters mild, but we do drop below freesing, and trees loose leaves, things go dormant. But many winter days are in the 50's F , and I can't find my table for transfering to Centigrade, maybe about 12?? cool, but sunny and nice enough to be outside in light jacket.

One hour later, Florida is eastern time, we are central. I have a daughter living in florida, on the east coast, MELBOURNE, bet you did not know we had a melbourne in florida.

your weather sounds somewhat similar to ours. will get back to you about that, when my brain is working !!!!

I can hear my bed calling me.........

yes I did know you had a Melbourne there, As I said Uncle Greg is in Florida not that far from Melbourne, he is in Winter Haven....... not far from Kathy/Valrico, Ed/Lithia....
I must stop talking in my sleep

night Rola, sleep well, and good to chat.

I thought it was time I came and sat on that chair I had reserved. Cat came and woke me at 3am and I have just finished all the puzzles so I guess I qualify to be here with you all
