Keith from CA

Saw the hawk (Cooper or Sharp-shinned?) photo in your gallery... We get the same kind of bird at our feeder! He thinks it really IS a bird feeder! His definition is MUCH different than mine!!!

Keith, I have been away from the pooter for a few days so I have not heard whether a gathering has been arranged for yours and Lynne's visit to Melbourne. If it is arranged, could you please drop a post onto my page with some details, and who I should get in contact with to put in my "I'll be there"!

Hi Keith...have sent you an email...looks like we are all getting on the boil...will give you a ring if it is easier than organising things by email....cheap as chips with VOIP...I don't Skype...
Ciao

Hi Keith! I haven't been doing much reading or writing in Sudokuland lately. Rob & I are super busy with end stage planning for our kitchen remodeling. We only seem to have little chunks of time in between all our trips here & there. Speaking of trips how was yours up to Canada? I checked both your Flickr & Gallery pages hoping to find some pictures of the Northern Lights? Can you send me a quick recap of how things went? Know you must be super anxious for your trip to Australia next month. I read someone's note above about the William Ricketts sanctuary. Do try to see it if you have time - it's an amazing place!

Hello Keith, how is it all going? I so envy you both going off to Oz. To meet everyone will be lovely. I sat by a great sculpture the other day and thought of you. Sadly I didn't have my camera to take a piccy. Take care and hopefully we will catch up before you leave. Cheers x

Good morning, Keith! You know I am expecting a full report on Bean's corned beef! Of course, if you could freeze some and FedEx it to me that would be even better!!!

Make sure someone takes a picture of all of you enjoying the feast that I (sob!) will be unable to attend...

Hi Keith, looking forward to meeting you when you are out this way. It will be the first time I have met anyone from this site!

he he...Jane is a card. Absolutely no doubt about it.
Fancy Kathy being in the know about William Ricketts. I've been there a few times and each time I have come away quite awe inspired.
Did you see the new forum page I started?...I have set a date for the Melbourne meet...was unable to contact Angie about it before doing so ... I hope she will be able to make it.

Keith - I remember the name, but We were the toy makers show had a cart near the exit at Northern Faire. At Southern Faire we had a booth on the upper road. Wooden toy and games. Most people remember us best for our Spin top. Ed used to throw it in the air and catch it.

Hi Keith, I love the hawk pictures. Are they all cooper's? The one above has such tiny legs I thought it might be a Sharp-Shinned. My feeders have recently become a fast-food restaurant as well. I dont mind. I like all the birds. OK well maybe not the starlings.

Just wanted to pop in and wish you and Lynne a wonderful trip down-under. I so wish you had room for me in your luggage!
I look forward to hearing all about the fun you are having and I plan on skyping over to Broni's during the party she is hosting for you. Traveling Mercies to you both!

Hi Keith! I'm adding my best wishes for a wonderful trip for you and Lynne. Australia is an amazing country, and you have the added benefit of being able to meet so many Sudoku friends. I know it will be the trip of a lifetime!
Safe travels!

What an itinerary!! I am sooooo envious! Be sure to see a sunrise and/or sunset at Ayers Rock. It is spectacular! We didn't stay at the big hotel complex there, but at the smaller one. There was a great hamburger stand nearby. It's the first (and only) time I was asked if I wanted a "red beet slice" on my hamburger. I passed.

Just want to wish you and Lynne a Bon Voyage, Keith! I know you're going to have a super fabulous time, and I can't wait to see the pictures when you get back! Please give hugs and kisses to everyone for me!!! ♥ Jane

Safe Travels Keith and Lynne. Have a great time in Australia.

So looking forward to meeting you and Lynne. Safe travels. Catch ya soon.

Keith, have a wonderful time! I don't have to remind you to take lots of pics! Have fun at everyone's houses. Don't know if I'll get on line to see you there, but I'm sure I'll get all the scoop on SA. Wish I was going too. Have a safe trip!

The tulips were lovely, thank you. We are always behind, even when it comes to the lake. The crocuses are up down there at least and the bare patch on my lawn is growing. Winter can't last forever.
Almost time to go for you two. Are your bags all packed? Are you getting excited? Have a great trip. Lots of wonderful people over there.

I have added three pictures on Flickr just for you. Enjoy.

I hope you have a wonderful 'down under' holiday Lynne and Keith. Enjoy!

Up , up and away.... who would have believed it...the day has come....looking forward to meeting you....

Hi Keith, safe travels. I'm looking forward to meeting you and Lynne, see you soon.

Hi Keith - I am just stopping by to wish you a safe trip. (Sure wish I were going too!) I am looking forward to seeing pictures and "hearing" about it.

Hi Keith...glad you like my avatar! I drag out the Heinz periodically to remind people that I am half baked and they need to make allowances!!! [I usually only use it on SA....don't want EVERYBODY to know I'm cracked] I have seen your photo and really look forward to getting to Chicago one day for a photo opportunity with another 'Bean' that will almost make me look sylphlike in comparison!!

Now it is time to get into the Easter spirit!!

just hopping in to wish you a very Happy Easter and a season full of joy!

Hi Keith and Lynne
Have a
How can you not, being where you are? I am living vicariously through you

Hi Keith, Hope you and Lynne have a wonderful Easter.

Dear Keith.
Wishing you and your family a very,

" HAPPY EASTER " .

Ah ha! I saw a sharp-shinned hawk on my feeder the other day so I thought I would stop in and check on your feeders while you were traveling. Lo and behold, your hawk is gone, replaced by a sculpture. Do you think your feeders are empty, thus the hawk left and is dining at mine? I know they migrate, but I thought it was a north/south thing not west/east! P.S. Hope you and Lynne are having a wonderful time!

It sounds like you and Lynne are having a wonderful time in the land of Oz Keith. I envy the two of you. Keep on having fun my friend!

Dearest Keith and Lynne, what can I say. Meeting you both has been a beautiful experience. I cannot thank you enough for being so understanding about the change of plans. I think we were all of the same mind, it meant we could have a much more relaxed afternoon.
You are up for yet another jam-packed day tomorrow. Enjoy every minute of it, and give my love to Dino.

Hi Keith and Lynne! It was lovely to meet you at Gail's, and we had a great time on our Puffing Billy trip with you. Hope you enjoyed seeing the penguins, and we wish you all the best for the rest of your holiday!
Judy and Rob. :)

G'Day, it was good to meet you and Lynne, like catching up with old friends.
Lynne, I'm glad I didn't scare you in the plane.

Keith, where are you? We need to line up Cairns...have u heard from PD Pete?

Hi Keith, I've finally put up a couple of photos taken at June's -nice one of you & Lynne. See you at Broni's.

okie Keith meet u in Cairns on Friday....so looking forward to it...pity i have to work or i could have spent longer there

Keith, hubby is coming with me after all...see u tonight ....

Keith, I do hope you and Lynne are continuing to enjoy your adventures Down Under.

I'm so glad you are enjoying yourselves. You are seeing a fair cross section of the country which, I presume, was your intention. I understand travel weariness but don't give up yet - before you know it, you will be home again and all that will be left is fond memories and a few photos. Make the most of it.
I am marginally well, broni knows all my secrets so you should ask her when you get there.

It is brilliant that you were able to meet up with Susan in Cairns. Now you have met more of the Aussie members than I have!
Have fun with Broni...her I've met...and have a wongerful time tomorrow.
Love to all.
