Aimee from Pgh, PA USA

Gday Ame, I'm not sure how long you've been here but to Sudokuland.
I've brought along a bottle of Aussie bubbly to toast your page. POP! Cheers. See you around.

Hi, Aimee:
Arcadia is a little village on Magnetic Island, one of the few "real islands" (not just coral cays) on the Great Barrier Reef. We have mountains (well, high, pointy-topped hills!), streams, great granite boulders (once upon a time we were some very fierce volcanoes) and lovely beaches of golden sands. Over half the island is National Park. I have to pinch myself every now and then to believe I really have ended up living in such a beautiful place.

Hi Aimee! The recipe for the Cream of Crab Soup is on the 'recipe' pages. Go to the top of this page and click on Forum. Scroll down to 'Recipes'
(under Off Topics) Click on 'Recipes'. The soup is toward the bottom of the 1st page. It's one of my favorites, hope you enjoy it!

Oh, my goodness! I just read back and see that I never welcomed you! How rude of me.

Since you will be making the soup, I'm leaving a bushel of steamed Maryland blue crabs for you. Picking the crab meat from the shell is a bit tedious, but worth the effort! Bon Appétit!

Stopped by to wish you good cheer
Brought a little bubblie here
May your toast be great
For two thousand eight
May you have a very

Hope your Christmas was blest.
No resolutions to obsess
It is not too late
For to celebrate
Our Lord Saviour’s Righteousness

to you and yours Ame!
Wishing you all the best in 2008

Hi Aimee,
Thank you so much for your birthday wishes to me on the 16th. My apologies for being so late in replying. I had a lovely day, made even better by the greetings from my new friends on this site. Thank you so much!

Gday Aimee, I have just stopped by to restock your fridge. Here's another bottle of bubbly and a plate of nibblies too.
I will put these roses into a vase and leave them here on the table.
Drop in to my page sometime and take a look around. Hope to see you there soon.

Hi Ame, I see I have never welcomed you, here is a plate of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Hope you have a wonderful time here on Sudoku.

Hi Ame! I guess I owe you a belated welcome to the site as well! This is YOUR special page, and as a page warming gift I'll leave you a double chocolate fudge beavertail pastry from Ottawa. Enjoy, and belated welcome to the site!

I guess it is Aimee. I should have read your comment first. If you want to see icebergs, the best thing would be a cruise to Antartica. I have never gone on one, but if you Google 'iceberg cruises' there are a few travel sites that show uo with wonderful pictures.

Ame, A trip to Alaska I definately recommend! I don't know that you would get to see to many big icebergs there but the glaciers are beautiful and the landscape in general...I loved my cruise to Alaska and definately hope to go back again some day.

Aimee,
My cruise to Alaska was the first and only cruise I have ever been on but I must say that I absolutely loved the whole experience and the fact that it took place in Alaska…what more is there to say. As far as the Northern Lights go, no unfortunately I didn’t get to see that. I am with you on that I have always wanted to see the lights and will some day try to plan a trip that will allow that. I understand that it is something that is easiest to see during the winter but haven’t looked into it to much yet.

Take care

Hey! Ame,
Thanks for the message!
Yes, my name is spelled "wrong" for all of the Aussies and most of the US, but it tells me when people pay attention to detail!
I started a 1500 piece jigsaw puzzle today with a friend. (She also found a 2000 piece puzzle of Van Gogh's "Starry, starry Night.") We got the 1500 piece one about 1/3 finished. It's addicting!...especially in winter when there isn't much else to do!

You shortened your name from Aimee to "Ame"!
Shows that I'm not too observant, either! Guess I'll have to pay more attention!

Hi Ame, I came to visit you before saying how happy I was that you took the time to visit my gallery. Watercolor is what I use because it has no smell and it dries very quickly. Some say it is harder than oil because you cannot cover your mistake by painting over it...but I learned a few tricks...I enjoy making my own Christmas cards and have been doing it for 5 years. After I make the original I bring it to a print shop and have about 100 printed, cut with enveloppes. I mail all of them to family and friends. They are a bit spoiled and would be very disappointed if I sent them a commercial card. My-sister-in law puts them in a frame every year...I feel quite flattered...with plenty of humility.
Since it is my first visit to your site I brought you a big bouquet of daisies, just to help you decorate. Have a good year 2008.

Hi, Aimee-
Thanks for visiting. That cold beach picture was taken on Assateague Island in Maryland (where the "wild" ponies are). It was pretty cold, and super windy, but no snow. I have seen snow on the coast of Maine, but it was a rocky beach, not sandy. It was striking, though.
Have a great day/evening/night!

Hi Aimee, Thank you for you wonderful comments! Come visit anytime.

Just dropping in to say Hello and wish you a great St.Patrick's Day Aimee, lots of

Hello Aimee - I am just stopping in to say, "Hello." I see I didn't make it by to you and I am sorry for that. I have a DIL who is from the Pittsburgh area. Please stop by my place for a visit sometime. Have a great day!

Aimee, thank you for the nice comments about my quilts. Yes, I have ejoyed making each one of them.

They dome photos were put up in show a couple friends what my hubby was doing. He builds kits for making dome structures, and was in NC with these 3, helping the man get started up with them. The photos were in July, they are finished and occupied now! Yes, alternative housing, energy efficent, much cheaper to heat and cool, takes less materials to enclose the space, and less waste too. Many homeowners can do much of the work themselves. I can send a link to the dome website to your private mail if you would like more information.

Dear Aimee, it was nice of you to drop in. Glad you had so much fun with the parade and all. I would have to go to Montreal to see a parade. It is quite big there every St Patrick's day. Nice of you to bring your hubby back to his roots. No Irish blood in me as far as I know but I had an uncle born March 17, they called him Fabien. I don't know if that is irish.

Aimee, thanks for your kind words. We are active, involved, irreverent grandparents, and it helps that the kids are all within 20 miles of us. As they say, "If I had known how much fun grandchildren could be, I would have had them first!" All the joys of parenthood without any of the stress ... nothing could be better!

Hello Aimee - DIL = Daughter-in-law

I am very new at the abreviations!!! I don't know very many, but I do know that one!

She is from Castle Shannon.

Hi Aimee - Scott and Christina live here in Michigan now, but her parents still live there. It was always a challenge for me to go to Pittsburg. I am a true country girl and that is definitely city driving! I can tell you I crossed a few wrong rivers a few too many times until I learned the roads better.

Thanks for the rock painting compliment, Aimee! I have a fascination with rocks and they have ended up in my luggage several times! Those particular rocks were at Hartland Quay in Devonshire, UK in a tidal pool. (Yes, I have one!) I do love painting and have found a new watercolor class recently where I've been learning lots of new techniques. Right now I am painting my first bird... A Great Blue Heron.

Hi Aimee,
Thank you. The cat on the left is actually the "baby" of the cat on the right, although he's twice the size of mama. We don't bother to cover our pool, because the main reason for doing so is to keep leaves out and we don't have trees too close to the pool. I scoop the few that do migrate in there out daily in the fall.

Hi Ame - Thanks for your kind welcome! Don't you love this site? All of a sudden I have penpals all over the world! And sudoku puzzles to boot! What fun You're right, Pbgh is "in the neighborhood" compared to Sydney or France!

Ame - when we are young, we like to remember the people we love as they were in our memory, and don't like that destroyed. It is hard to see them decrepid and needing our assistance. I hope the video, will help them to understand that their care and love can be a good memory as well. Bringing joy to the loved one (wheter it is revealed or not at tht moment) can also be a cherished memory.

I visited my great aunt in Louisiana (in 1963), who I only had met a couple of times. She was in a care facility and I learned that no one had visted her in a couple of years. I tried to explain to her, who I was - even called to California for her to talk to my mother (her niece) for her to talk to. The next day, I stopped back to say hello again, and she was in a comma. The nurse told me, that latter that evening, she remember who I was, my mom, her sister and family. That was her last memory - she never came out of the comma, before she died several months later.

Thank you for your concern. My family has been so good to me. My eldest daughter came to the hospital most night after work when her father was in the hospital and was with him when he died. I had just gone out the the motor home to rest. She lives close to me. The others are 2 hour drives away.

hi, thanks for your message! You do realise that Judy and I are just playing in our exchanges?! We are not really being catty (well just a tiny bit!!)No, seriously we are just winding each other up and trying to be smarter than the other! Thanks for your visit, cheers.

Hi Aimee,

thanks for your visit, it's not late tho'.
i'm always happy to get the mails from our sudoku lovers.
Myanmar is former Burma. We are east of Thailand.
The capital is Yangon (former Rangoon). i've posted some more photos, so pls visit my flickr again,
some beaches and detailed photo of shwedgon.

Hi Ame. Thanks for dropping in. I haven't been to see you either! Sorry about that! My mother made her wedding dress & I wanted to wear hers, but she'd altered it & turned it into a ball dress, so that's why I made my own! My sister, Maureen/Dubbo's son's fiance (does that make sense?!!) made her own wedding dress, her 4 sister's bridesmaid's dresses & vests & cravats for the groom & the groom's men!! She couldn't make one bridesmaid's dress till a week before the wedding because she was pregnant & they had to wait till she delivered! That was an ordeal for my BIL - I'm glad I didn't know about it till he sent me the email!!!! thanks again for visiting.

Ame, glad you enjoyed Petula Clark, and I totally agree, those dances are classic!

Aimee,
CZ stands for Czech Republic. But guess what, I now live in Pittsburgh.
