vdV from Melbourne

Hi vdV, I have a vague memory of giving my email address to Rola some time ago and I have asked her to give it to you. Lets see if we can open up communications away from these (very public) pages.

Hi Cous. have forwarded your email address onto Ian..

Enjoyed the youtube of Elton singing. great !!

Just hopping around tonight instead of finishing up the puzzles - visiting sites and looking for BBQ - Your treat (pancakes) looks interesting - I have to do a google on them also. I'm in the Midwest - near Chicago - live in a big town with little town favor. It's summer but feels like a fall evening tonight - so I just finished up listening to Rocket man and I think I'll rocket off to bed soon, Take care and enjoy your day, Mary

Just dropping in to say it was great to catch up in chat the other day.
Have you fixed your stutter?

Hi VDV and thank you I have found your recipe for Poffertjes so Yummy, I have the poffertjes pan, and my dear Mum used to look after making the mixture, She passed away over 12 months ago and we've been looking for a good recipe for ages, we got so desperate we started to buy the mixture from a deli in Chirnside Park, as we like to make Poffertjes as a rememberance to our beautiful Mum, so thank you again Liz

vDv, I didn't pick it - in the photos of the Jabiru that I have seen the aircraft had spats. Nice photo.

Hey vdV. thanks for popping in.. it has been a while since we had a chat.. been busy busy busy.. next week is #1 son's 21st, we are having a big party for him.
I thought it was your Jabiru on the puzzels the other day.. speaking of which, Gail said I could borrow her Esky for the party, and I was wondering if you could pick it up and fly it here.
oh and a plate or two of the poffertjes would be yummy, am sure it will be very popular at the party !! hehehe

oh Cous, forgot to ask.
How is the 'Fishbowl'... are you getting used to it??

Thanks for dropping in, been really busy around here lately, just never enough time in the day, and this year has certainly flown by. Yep I did see your pic on tough the other night, very noice. Would love to try and organise a flight one day. Hope all is well with the new job location and have you fixed your sutter problem?
cheers

Thank you for the Birthday Wishes last week. I had dinner with Mom that evening. She then flew up to Portland, OR for a Class Reunion (68th) and flew back for the wedding on Saturday of her only grand-nephew (my cousin’s son – 41, first marriage). Mom (85) refused to take a nap after getting up at 3 am for the flight back and insisted on driving (through Los Angeles to Orange County) for the wedding – she still drives fast. By the time we got to there we were not speaking & the drive back was even worse – getting home around midnight. The wedding & reception was wonderful (so was the beach party the night before, which Mom had missed). Dad always said the reason we fight, was because we are so much alike – both strong willed women. But, we will always love each other. I left Tuesday, had a meeting in No. Calif. Wednesday afternoon, and decided to camp at Burney Falls State Park – making my dog happy, before returning home. The back is still bothering me – but no violent pains – more of the gnawing variety and when standing up after sitting too long (so there were a lot of stops on the way down and on the way home). Thanks for the good wishes – I’m safe if not sound.

Gday vdV, just thought I'd pop in to say a quick hello. Hope this finds you and your family well. Loved your post today. I'm thinking of printing and laminating it to put up on the fridge. Then I can just point to it and never have to repeat myself again!

Enjoy your holiday !!

Hi, vdV! Haven't seen you for a while on SA3, but read your post about your Blue Wren photo on Kids Easy. So, I had to go take a look. What a great photo of a good-looking bird! I don't think we have blue wrens in the US - wrens, but not BLUE wrens. Thanks for sharing!
Thought I'd leave some end-of-summer flowers and some fresh (still warm) cinnamon rolls. Enjoy!

Hi vdV. Nice to meet you! Sorry I wasn't here to answer your question on Saturday re the jigsaw picture. But you answered it yourself anyway! We were flying back from Tasmania & that's Lakes Entrance & 90 mile beach. Do you still live around there & if so were you affected by the June floods?

Hi vdV! I've never visited your place before, but loved all your funny posts yesterday & had to come tell you thanks for the chuckles. I guess you are a pilot? I read the comments from your other visitors to try to learn more about you. I guess you are a pilot?? Anyway, nice to meet you. Please stop for a visit at my place sometime.

Thanks vdV for answering my question. See you again!

Hi, vdV! I haven't "seen" you in a while. I hope you don't mind. I took the liberty to post your "Moose Juice" recipe on the recipe page. If you prefer that it not be there, I'm sure that Gath would remove it, if you ask. It just sounded yummy, and I figured that when Rolanda "cleans house" when she gets back, it might be deleted.

Enjoy a bottle of Oregon Pinot Noir along with this special Strawberry Pie (I used chocolate Cream Cheese). I figure if chocolate covered strawberries go well with Pinot Noir - well - you let me know.

It's been quite warm this past weekend - we are in the start of fall - the leaves havn't really changed over yet - but are starting. Oktoberfest was held this weekend - apple cider, caramel apples, brats, beer and music, mmm Take Care, Mary
