Just because I am from Arizona and somewhat elderly Laughing doesn't mean that I can't learn new tricks. Last year I went skiing for the first time. I started doing Sudoku in the summer of 2005. Found this site not long after and like it so much I finally decided to become a supporting member.

I've brought you some brownies and coffee - you may wish to put ice in the coffee since Phoenix is so warm.

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 [currently first in a series for this week on Big Bad Voodoo Daddy]

I guess I should say congratulations to the Diamond Backs - figure you must be

Well hello Merrillskid, and (looks like a belated) welcome to your own Sudoku page! I'll leave you my traditional page warming gift, a double chocolate fudge beartail pastry from Ottawa, so I hope you enjoy sweets. I'll have to come back and biew your Flickr album another time, as it appears you have tons of photos. Enjoy the site, and cheers!

Gday Merrillskid, you must have slipped in while I was asleep because I'm usually around here somewhere, causing trouble, no doubt!
What did you think of skiing? Through good fortune, I was taken skiing quite a few times during my teens and fell in love with it but haven't been for (?!) years because it is a fairly expensive habit here, I'm afraid.
Lovely to have you with us, I'll bring a hamper next time I come back because I have raved on too much already!!!

A belated to you, Merrillskid Great to see you posting! I'm leaving a pot of Maryland Cream of Crab soup for you and your guests. I live very close to the Chesapeake Bay, so plenty of blue crabs to be had in this area. I've been to Arizona several times, mostly the Tucson area, but did get to Phoenix once. It was definately a welcome change from our cold winter! Take care...

My first visit, so I'm dropping off some Niagara ice wine for you to have with friends for dessert. It packs a wallop so be careful. I started skiing when I was thirty-five and have been hooked since, so it's great to meet another powderhound on the site. Cheers and

Gday Merrillskid, sorry it has taken me so long to get back to visit again. You know how it is, everyday stuff getting in the way of fun stuff like losing hours of my life virtually travelling all over the world and meeting new people.
This time I've brought some goodies for you. A bottle of Aussie bubbly, a plate of nibblies and a of roses from my page. Drop in any time and take a look around. The kettle's just boiled and my youngest daughter just invented a new dessert treat. Two fingers of a thin slice made from coco pops, sandwiched together with a layer of ice-cream. Help yourself, it's all low-fat, of course!

Had a great time going through your flikr album, how interesting all these different old barns and all the crosses along the way...Make you think...I am not so young myself but while retired from teaching I work my way to become a Pastoral Counsellor, I work two evening a week with individuals in therapy. I enjoy sudokuland very much and visit a new member each day...Happyly today I visited your site and enjoyed every minute of it...Take care and enjoy some maple syrup that I brought for you along some red flowers from my house. I seems that you were in Ottawa for a visit if I consider the pictures you took of the Baptist Church? Hope to have time to visit you again.

to Sudokuland and all of it's wonderful, sometimes wacky, sometimes, well, not so wacky, people around the world. It seems I'm the real slowpoke on the block in getting to welcome you; my apologies. I usually offer key lime pies as a housewarming gift, but it seems as though you've been overrun with pies. But, in case you haven't had them, I am bringing you some key lime tarts--they freeze very easily, so you can save them for later.
I do hope you enjoy this site as much as I do, it's been a real comfort when needed and the humor is outrageously funny most of the time.

Hello Merrillskid, and thank you both for the visit and the beautiful gifts! Your oranges were great and juicy!!
A great, big if somewhat belated welcome to this wonderful, wacky site!! I am leaving you some Aussie bubbly, and some cheese and macadamia nibbles to share. It is great about the skiing, never too late as my Aunt said when she got her Driver's Licence at age 63!!

Thank you so much for the oranges. Great timing, I was just about to go shopping so I can scratch oranges of my list! I love bougainvillea, in fact, when I was at my Mum's before Christmas, I was so impressed by hers in flower that I am thinking of putting in a few around my place. Not too sure how they will go, we are fairly high up in the hills above Melbourne so I'm not sure if the conditions are right. Our planting motto is, stick it in the ground, give it water and a for luck, then you're on your own buddy!



Wishing you all the best for 2008

Thank you for the oranges and bougainvillea! Oranges, of course, are an old favorite but I'd never had bougainvillea before. Tasty, and low-cal too. And they looked so pretty on the table, before . . .

Hello Merillskid - I see I have not officially welcomed you yet. Here is a great big to you. Wow! That is quite a picture of snow. I have never snow skied, but I always thought it looked like fun.

Happy Easter to you and your family.

Hello Merrill - I wanted to thank you for the delicious oranges and the beautiful Bougainvillea! I had looked at your pictures last week and saw the beautiful plant! If I am not mistaking, I think they grow Bougainvillea in Florida. I have heard my mom talk about it. I have brought you a bag of Michigan apples. Enjoy!
