STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER

VULCAN, the world's Largest Cast Iron Statue, stands atop Red Mountain, overlooking Downtown Birmingham (shown) and the over the mountain area of Homewood. Vulcan was recently taken down for an extensive refurbishing, and when replaced he was rotated slightly on his pedestal so that he no longer mooned Homewood. Vulcan is the Roman god of the forge, a fitting symbol of Birmingham's past iron and steel industry. He has stood watch over Birmingham for 100+ years.

Welcome to my page. Looks like Linda got here before I figured out how to get here myself I have left a big basket of Alabama peaches, help yourself, and know how special you are. this year's crop will be reduced by more than half, a late freeze. They should go well with the peach chardonnay!

Hi, MizTricia! Welcome as a new member! I'll be leaving some famous Frango Mints. (Unfortunately, they don't have peach flavored.) But, I'm sure glad I stopped in. I'll just enjoy some of Linda's peach chardonnay and your Alabama peaches - my very most favorite fruit. Thanks! Enjoy your day!

Hi MizTricia, re your soccer question: each state has their own tournament for each age group to determine who is the best in the state for that age group. ODP teams, Olympic Development Program, consist of some of the best players for their area. They are like the premier team my son plays on. We don't have ODP in upstate NY, just downstate near NYC. Some kids from this area do play on it though but they have to travel 3 hours every week for practice (which is mostly what they do, practice/development) Your grandson must be very good. Oh, and yes, I love apple butter, but good stuff is hard to find. You'll have to give me your recipe.

Hi MizTricia - I heard your have peaches so I came by for a taste! (I love peaches....) I use to always ask my mom for a peach pie instead of Birthday cake! I have been through Alabama several times in the past 5 years. I take that route to go to Florida. I think Alabama is a beautiful state and I really enjoy the ride. Thanks for the peach! to Sudokuland.!

MizTricia -- I'd like to add my greetings as well. What part of Alabama are you in? I envy you, I would give anything to move back to Alabama even though we only lived there 3 yrs. (in Opelika).
I come bearing key lime cookies and some SC pecans, enjoy. Glad to meet you.

Hello MizTricia........

You want a new Kitchen, my husband is a Cabinet Maker, he could make you a new kitchen. I'll just come for the ride !!

ROLA, sounds great, come on up! Now it might help if you tell your hubby that the kitchen will be in a geodesic dome, so my counter tops have a 36 degree angle in them! And no top cabinets on the outside wall. But if he is still game, Ya'll come!

Thank you Cyndi, for the pecans, that is another thing we have here in my county, to go with our peaches. Not as many pecan groves as in the past but still a few good ones around. I am dead center in Alabama, only 10 miles from the road sign that marks the geographical center of the state. Half way between Birmingham and Montgomery, near interstate 65. Rural, unincooperated area.

Cheers, and see you in the SA members room.

ANDREA, would love to meet for lunch in June, Birmingham is doable for me. Can we get in contact somehow? I LOVE meeting up with cyber friends, espically Aussie ones when they are in the states. Maybe I could suggest some places of interest for you in the area.

Thanks for visiting my page.

All the avatars you submit stay in your user details. To change them go to Update Details, it shows your current avatar, click on Manage Avatars, select the one you want and click on Select button, that takes you back to the user details page, then click the Update Details button. I keep forgetting to do that and then I have to redo everything. So don't forget that last important step.

MizTricia: Thank you so much for the info re: avatars. I had tried looking at 'freeavatars', but I think I can't navigate the site properly, what I saw was definitely not what I wanted. Had the 'shrink pictures', but that didn't help much without a picture to shrink.
We lived in Opelika while my husband was at Auburn in 1974-77. Such a long time ago, but seems like yesterday. It was so wonderfully peaceful; and it's the first place I'd lived that the sky was so clear and so blue. My brother's widow (I call her my sister) lives in Pelham, her daughter is on Calera. It's a litle busier, but I still loe it.
If it's okay, I may check back with you when I have problems with my avatar. Thanks again.
Have a beautiful day.

QUESTION IN GENERAL.
Does this site reject posts that contain website addresses? I left out URL addresses and my post went through.

ROLA, yes, we could exchange e-mails. Go to that website, click on CONTACT US, and write an e-mail in the big white box. You do not have to fill out all the other white spaces. Please put your name/sudoku first, so my mail can be easily seperated from business mail. Be sure to click SUBMIT when finished. It will make it's way to me. I will contact you by e-mail.

Looking forward to exchanging mail, hope to hear from you soon.

Hello, Miztricia, I see you're moving right along.
I like your new avatar. Passion flower, huh? Are you making a statement, or do you like maypops?
Has anyone heard from Stella? Specifically, has she let anyone know how she has/will spend her Amazon bucks? Who won the $50 drawing?

Hey MIZ T, Welcome to your own page...nicely decorated too..love the wild azaleas. I also like your avatar too. I see that you enjoy meeting up with folks and if you'd like to have my email address, Rola has it and I will let her know its ok to share it. I don't want to overload the business addy. Great job cping for 6 pages straight..I was hoping the streak would last longer. I think you have the record there..cool. See you around. Oh, I forgot, I've brought you some great cheese and wine,..if you wish to offer it to your guest, I won't be offended. I think I read somewhere that you don't drink wine...no problem.
