And,
You are more than to visit my own page any and every time you wish.

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.

and Happy St. Patrick's day from semi sunny Chicago, I think Spring is in the air but snow and rain is in the forcast, but I'm looking on the bright side today. Sending along some deep dish Chicago style pizza along with a pint of green beer. Enjoy your day. Mary

rts, and welcome to your own page here in Sudokuland.
Hope you have as much fun in here as we all do.
Have A Great Day!

Gday and belated greetings to you rts. Great to have you with us.
I look forward to seeing you around the pages.
Have fun.

A belated to you, Caligirl!
I'm out of town and checked in today to read the posts and there you were! I've brought to decorate your new place.
You're going to love it here!

Caligirl, I missed your joining our wonderful world. Saw your comment on Kathy's page so I had to come and visit. I see you were at Pax River MD what year?? we were there from 1982 til 1986. Also guessing the military took you there. Hope to see you posting.

Caligirl, Yes, hubby was military, 9 yrs Marine's then 22 yrs Navy. Lived in Oceanside way back when, then at Pt Mugu. Lived in TN three different times, Pax River and Andrews in MD. Last duty station was Jacksonville FL, then we moved here. Was not home to either of us but my sister lived here. Where in CA are you? have FIL, BIL & 2 SIL all in CA.

"cali",
Much appreciated, hope you have had a great weekend.

Oooh, another California girl! ! I leave some and some my favorite chocolates! What part of the state are you? Aileen, Judy, and I are in southern parts and Keith is in the north was it near San Francisco? When we ever get our California sudoku meeting together, want to join us?

Oh dear your hubby a Marine? Ouch! My son is a Marine based in Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. I'm going to visit him and his family end of June to mid July. He's schedule to deploy to Iraq in July. I hope you have a strong family and friend circle to rely on when there's a deployment. If not include me as a part of your friend support system! We'll plan some Los Angeles social times to carry you through your alone time.

Hi to you too Caligirl,
I'm OK here. But thanks for your concern. All we're having is some rain and high winds. The high winds are normal since my farm is on the highest spot between Louisville KY and Nashville TN. If it hasn't blown away yet, it won't now. At least we always have a cool breeze in the summer.

Besides my 6 horses (I ride and drive), I have 80 head of Beef Cattle (primarily Red Angus); about 100 Bamoka Sheep; LOTS of chickens, turkeys, guineas, ducks and geese; 12 Collies, 9 cats, 30+ pigeons; a rabbit and lots of fish. I just lost my Llama last week. So it's a full house. Or rather, a full farm. But I cannot imagine life without animals around.

The reason that I can't put up pictures on here is because this is a Microsoft based site and my Mac is not that compatible. I COULD run Windows on it if I wanted to, but I would then be subjected to viruses. As it is now, no viruses at all. And no virus protection needed. I like not having to worry about that. Do you use a Mac too? That might be why you cannot put up pictures.

We now know how to identify Mac users on the Sudoku site..... NO pictures.

It's a good trade off- No viruses vs no pictures.

Caligirl, Thank you for your sacrifice(s) while your husband was deployed. Military wives seldom get the recognition they so richly deserve. And a big "thank you" to your husband for his service to our country!

Hi Caligirl! Obviously I am very late in welcoming you to your own page, but I can't think of a better day to do so. How wonderful that your lifemate is returning safely to you. I wish you both a super reunion!

Congrat's on hubby's return! and welcome to the site.. I recently welcomed myself again Back to the site, after disappearing for about a year...

It's a great site, so now I'm getting know new people and reaquainted with old :)
Hope you like it..

Hi there Caligirl'''' I missed your arrival on site...that is what happens when you join up on St Patrick's day.... you miss out on visits from the mob that are out celebrating their Irish roots....
Good news that hubby is coming home... wonderful news. Have a wonderful day... I am sure you will

Have a brilliant reunion with your hubby.
And thank him from me.

Yea, Caligirl!!! Give him a big hug and forget to let go!!! Kiss him long so he comes up gasping for air!!! Make that man remember what he's been missing so he won't go anywhere without grabbing you to come along!

Caligirl...Sorry to be so late getting around to welcoming you on your page,but I've been a tad busy thus far this year...but I'm here now and wishing you a big warm welcome...that wish however well meant, must pale with the great news that your hubby is arriving today after serving in Iraq...So this is to welcome you both with thanks and unending love...nothing I can give you could match what you have in the return of your hubby...so enjoy the reunion, the hugs and talking and the quiet you two will find to spend.....as I quietly close the door as I leave, I'll just put some flowers on the table next to some wine and snacks for the two of you.

enjoy your man Caligirl!!

Caligirl, I'm so happy for both you and your hubby for his safe return from Iraq. Enjoy yourselves and thank you both--you are both heroes in my eyes--him for fighting for our freedoms and you for staying and standing beside him. Again, a great big THANK YOU.
I well remember those returns; my husband was Navy and would be gone anywhere from 4 weks to 7-8 months at a time. It's somewhat difficult when they first return, you have to give up a little of your independence, but I truly believe it made our marriage (38 yrs now) stronger. God Bless.

Hi caligirl... I was talking to Gath, and he taught me how to use smilies!!! You do NOT click and drag. You just click on the smilie you want, then when you click on submit comment, the smilie magically appears in your comment!!! Cool, huh?

Caligirl...You helped to ad to my birthday with your birthday greetings....especially with having hubby home for such a short time. Home you two arestill making sweet music and enjoying your time together. How long will he be home...that can wait until you need a break, then respond. I'll look forward to a visit when you're ready...

Taking the time to say thank you for your message of love and support through the tough times with my mum, and her death. My heart has been lifted by the warmth and love shown to me here.

Thanks for the good wishes for my niece.
It's been a long haul for her because they want to make sure the infection is completely gone.

Hi Caligir. Haven't seen you around the site for a while...hope you are well and things have been going ok. Ciao

Hi Caligirl! Wonder if you are settled into your new duty station yet? Since I am a retired military wife (23 years!) I keep my eye out for the other military wives in Sudokuland! We have to stick together wherever we are. The support of others is SO important. Hope you are well & happy.

Oh, golly, my dear - does your current situation ever bring back some memories for me!! We were in temporary quarters more times than I care to remember - we moved 17 times in our 23 years!! And yes, the transitions part of the moving are the roughest. Interesting coincidence that a couple who were (& still are) good Navy friends of ours adopted a son while they were stationed in San Diego & named him TJ. He's now 26! Does your husband plan to stay in for 20? If you can stick it out there are LOTS of benefits. We're glad we did. Hang in there!

Hi, Cali:
Thank you for your good wishes and kind words.

I guess the only constant in our lives is, "Something's always changing"...

Do you have any kids?

Caligirl, please forgive me for eavesdropping, but I was over on Aileen's page and did I read that you are expecting?

with everything.

Caligirl! I hope you have a fabulous birthday filled with and of course, love!
Wishing you blessings throughout the year.
BTW - where abouts in CA are you? I'm between Sac and Lake Tahoe in the mountains. We're meeting in SF on 11/15/08 if you are interested in joining us.

Hope you have a great day. All the best Happy birthday!!!!

to you, it's a sunny late summer day here and we are in the mist of Baseball fever with both our Chicago teams, of course, the Cubs are once again toying with our hearts -- it can never be easy with the Cubs - I hope you are enjoying your special day, Mary
