Anne from Albany W Australia

5:11 Thank you all for your thoughts and concern on my behalf. I didn't realize what a great source of support was out there. I am truly very thankful for all of your postings and positive encourgements. My prayers are all with you and your loved ones.

My recipe is slightly different from yours. The Russian version is more bread like and filled with potatoes, sauerkraut or meat suffings. Then deep fried until golden.
Your recipe sounds so yummy I'm going to try to make some.

Anne, wanted to drop by and make sure you got a little of my jambalya and rice that I had made for Greg's party that was cancelled due to weather. However, If you are still in a party mood after all that sleep you had, find a way to come to my lair and party down...hopefully it will last awhile. I need some help eating all of the food. Sully will be mixing drinks, just help yourself to the food, Then join us on the dance floor and strut your stuff!

Anne - I have been very slow at getting around to visit everyone this week. Thanks for stopping by my place. Sorry it was so bare - I'm just beginning to move in! Imagine my surprise when I got to your place & found NO PICTURE! You of all people! I was so enthralled by all the wonderful photos of your Machu Picchu trip that's one of the places we've chosen to visit in 2007. Thanks for the inspiration!

howdy, a biscuit and cheese for me to go with my coffee,,,,, please

Hope you've forgiven me for eating the beavertail and drinking the Canadian wine while you were sleeping, I'm sure CG will come up with some more - I'll ask him.

Hey Anne

YES!! I got the quadrella tonight on the kids puzzles!! ;)

Hi Anne. Just stopped in to feed Willow a small can of Atlantic salmon since you're away. Hope you had fun at the party. Just noticed Fi's message. I left one for her to say she had 3 pictures today, but all 4...Wow!

Hi Anne. Had every intention to read all your comments...then I say 3 pages....You are a great hostess!

Hello Anne, sorry I missed your visit. My place isn't up to scratch yet, will have to wait till my more computer savvy offspring rise!! Please accept these flowers and some Yellowglen bubbley to share!!!

Enjoyed having you here to watch the hockey game Anne, but why so many questions? Yes, they're on ice, and yes, they can hit each other (body check), and yes when the whistle blows there is always a TV commercial, and on and on and on. By the way. Did you enjoy the popcorn I made?

And by the way Anne, I enjoyed having you. Feel free to visit again and we'll have some Atlantic salmon rather then watch hockey.

Anne, hi. 'just checking in to say hello. It's been a crazy busy weekend. I want to leave you a few plane tickets and boarding passes for your first class ride to San Francisco! This week, we're leaving BWI and heading west to tour Napa and Sonoma. We're also trying to reserve a limo to Big Sur and south to California's central coast for more fun. See you onboard. Cheers!

Thank you Anne. I think that I have finally posted a pic on my page, although the sizing is way off. Still makes it feel more like home!!

Thank you again Anne, for your lovely comments, and what a lovely idea, to get some pics taken today!!

Hi, Anne. Thankyou for your birthday greetings. It's lovely to be wished a happy day by so many nice people, even though I've never met them.

Hi Anne, just time for a quick pre-dinner tipple. I'll have a VLS please.

Hello Anne,

Thank you for dropping in with the chocolates and wine. Just thought I would pop in, say hello, and leave some chocolate liqueur cherries to nibble!

Enjoy the day/night!

Hi, Anne!
Thank you for sharing your Piroshki recipe.

MMMM, I have a cream cheese dough I use for little pecan pies that I usually make for Christmas treats...have a taste and see if they're to your liking.

Anne, thanks for the invite! The snacks and drinks are wonderful! Am doing the limbo ....Ahhhh, I've fallen and I can't get up!!!

Hi Anne
Nice photo of Middleton Beach. only 3 weeks to go, Albany here we come. Peter and I be down the road at Emu Beach. Can't wait!!!

Hello Rola - that was quick, I only just managed to put the photo on their. I wanted a different one but it was a scanned photo and didn't work out too well, so I thought the beach photo would do.
I will e'mail you my 'phone number soon.
Thanks for visiting my newly renovated place.

Just walked past the computer and thought lets have a look and photo came up on your page.
Had a look at the flickr photo's as well, saw Emu Beach in the distance.
I will also email you with our contact details soon.

Anne what a wonderful picture that beach looks to die for, you are so lucky to have so much on your doorstep. Had a little browse of your piccys, wonderful! Now about this party....(shall I bring the chips, might as well as I have them for a few days!!!!)xx

A beautiful picture Anne! I'm bringing my swim trunks when I come to visit. Do I need an electric prod for Aussies sharks, or will you protect your guests?

Hey Anne. What's happening. It's after 1:00 a.m. on the east coast of the U.S., and I've just been allowed out to play, so I thought I'd stop in to say hello and take a walk through all the warm sand on the beach. Ahhhhhhhhh. LOVE it.

Lovely photo, Anne. I first visited Albany 40+ years ago, when the smell of the whaling station hung over the town. It was much prettier on my next visit, 30 years later.

Anne, I love your renovations. What a beautiful beach and I'd like nothing more than to join you and other sudokuites there someday!

like Judy/Bendigo, I remember the smell of the Whaling Station.
Some 30 years ago while on holidays to Denmark with Mum and Dad, went to the Whaling Station, had the tour, and watch a Whale being cut up. This was just before they closed down.
Can still smell it when visiting the site now.

Hi Anne, just a quick visit, brought you some fresh and some more .

Hi Anne, What a beautiful place you have! I can get lost in that beach! (Bet there are gazillion animals for me to photograph! )

Beautiful photo Anne! Makes me want to visit the land down under.

Anne, I've received a notice from the flight crew that it's getting unruly in first class!! I hear rumors about pushing and shoving and wine glasses breaking! Our pilot has arranged for a naughty corner whilst cruising at 35,000 ft.
I wonder who will be the first to be banned?

Hi Anne, Nice place you have set up. Looks so warm. It's 39 (F) here in the Pacific Northwest,USA. I am enjoying your party. I would love to try some of your piroshkis. By the way, What is it?

I've brought you some smoked salmon. My hubby loves to smoke the salmon avter he catches them. Hope you like it.

Hi Anne! Nice photos. Peru, Chile, Australia, New Zealand, France. Wow! A world traveller while sitting on a train eating!

thank you for your concern about the fires and we are very safe at the moment but shocking weekend ahead.

LD from WA, USA - thanks for calling into visit me at my place and thank you so much for the smoked salmon. You little beaut. I will enjoy it.

Love this pic Anne - it's where I spotted the two southern right whales - mother and calf, I just couldn't believe it...one of those special moments when you know all is well with the world...

Glad I could bring a little something you like to add to your spread appitizers. I really enjoyed your piroshkis. It's so yummy! What is in the filling?
