Midge from Ferntree Gully

Hello Midge, and a warm welcome to the mad land of Sudoku!! Am leaving some bubbly for you to enjoy!! Happy puzzling!

my friend, Midge from Melbourne,

Hi Bluey and Goozidi - have enjoyed the puzzles for a long time - glad to join in.

Gday and Midge. So happy you finally got here. We need another Melbournite to bring some sanity to the place...AS IF!
I've brought along a bottle of bubbly to toast your arrival and a plate of nibblies to share with your guests as they arrive.
Drop into my page sometime, there's plenty to see. I look forward to seeing you around the place.

Midge, it's nice to see another Melbourne member. Glad you've stopped lurking and have joined in.

to you to Sudokuland, along with a Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie for you and your guests.

There’s lots to do around here, places to visit and chat. I'm just around the corner, stop in anytime for more pie and a video.

& to this very interesting & friendly site, you will find it very easy to lose track of time here.

Hi Midge from an ex Melbournian. Glad you came to join the fun!

Hi Midge, welcome to your own page. Hope you have as much fun here in Sudokuland as I do...I brought you some maple syrup to enjoy and daisies to help you decorate your place...

Midge! Hope you have fun visiting all of the pages and doing the puzzles! Stop by anytime! Here are some flowers to help brighten your day!

HI MIDGE and welcome to sudokuland! Join in the fun, find a comfy place and start chatting. We all would like to get to know you better.

to Sudokuland and your own page, Midge! I've brought a pot of Maryland Cream of Crab Soup for you and your guests. I live on the East Coast of the U.S., very near the Chesapeake Bay, home of the Maryland blue crab. You might say I live in a very "crabby" area!
We're very happy to have you here! Stop by the "easy" page and say hi to everyone.

Thank you to all who have welcomed me...

Hello Midge, thank you for visiting my site. Yes Bribie is a wonderful place and when you come up here again I would love for you to visit me. Hubby and I retired here in 2001, unfortunately hubby is no longer with me, but that's life.

Nearly all my beer cans are indeed empty. Of the 2300, I drank roughly 1100. Two cans remain full as part of a promise made when I got them. The rest are all empty. More than 50 are Australian!

Gosh Midge, I came on to say thank you for the link to the bird site (I like the bird songs portion so far and I've saved the link so I can look again when I have more time) and I realized I have never welcomed you to the site, so a VERY belated welcome to you. Enjoy my traditional page warming gift, a double chocolate fudge beavertail pastry from Ottawa. Cheers!

Hi Midge...noticed your post on Kates page...realised I haven't dropped in before...so welcome...hope to catch up with you at some stage..it is good to meet another Melbournite..

Hi Midge, just saw your comment on Hard.
RIP Dunlop
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Thinking of you Midge.
RIP Dunlop

Thanks heaps Midge, does this mean the party can still go on? YIPPEE!

Hi Midge! The girls did look very zombie-like that night, I disowned my youngest because who would let their daughter go out looking like that?? I reclaimed her the next morning... hehe

I'd love to see photos of your zombie-sons! Are they old enough to be real zombies? Teenagers I mean....

I was laughing out loud while I read your post Midge! I think it's fantastic! I'd love to have a look on youtube. Mine are only 17 and 13, the 13 year old is on youtube too. Sort of, it's a long distance shot...

OMG Lyn, I certainly will keep my eyes open for her. I am going down to Knox tomorrow as a matter of fact, so once I have looked at her photo, I will know exactly who I am looking for. Oh you poor thing, you must be going through hell at the moment. ♥

Any word?

Lyn, I am so sorry. It really sounds like you have had more than enough on your plate. I really wish there was something I could do for you. If ever you would like to meet up and grab a coffee or something, I have broad shoulders, you can dump some of your cr*p on them!

RIP Natalie

Truman sounds like a real character, at least you know it's not the local weirdo stealing your undies!
I am pleased you chose to rescue a dog, rather than find one another way. No pet will ever replace Nat, but it might fill a little of that void...
May you and yours have a Merry Christmas, and hopefully one day we can meet up for that cuppa.

Every school holidays the steam trains run from Ballarat to Maryborough. We love to go and watch them but when my eldest brother lived at Bairnsdale [ I was only a kid then] he used to take me on the Puffing Billy for it was walking distance from his place.

Midge.... here is an avatar for you, if you like it. I'll try to find some more.

Thanks for visiting my page Midge. The Jockey's caps come in heaps of colours. I think they are gorgeous too. Unfortunately that is my last one. We are revamping the garden to reduce labour and a lot of my perennials have got the chop. I hope it will be easier to garden with the new order.

I hope FIL didn't get into too much trouble. I know when others help and get too enthusiastic I have to bite my tongue, because its all done with good intentions!

PM sent Midge, check your inbox

Belated birthday greetings Midge, may each day be a blessing for you xo

Hi Midge, Thanks for the birthday wishes. I celebrated with some (not all of) chocolate cake!
We should compare sudoku techniques out front of Dan Murphy's!

Hello Midge - nice to see you posting a comment. I can't believe I've never visited your page before. Shame upon me!
