Victoria from Fernlands Qld

Hi Vicki

12 o'clock is fine. Squirt has been invited; she'll wait and see what her social life is like before she commits. I hope the others can all make it :) Martha

Hi Vicki,
I will be there, not even going to mention bells, tiaras or feather boas this time. Looks like Cyn and I will pick up Madby3 on the way. Cyn was going to check with K.

geez Victoria.. you could have picked a different day.. I've got to take mum to the doctors at 10.00am..
Guess that is a NO from me.. again!!

Oh, good Vicki - I was going to ask you if you wanted me to book a table, so I'm glad its done. I was asked to go to Sydney on the 23rd for work - said I was unavailable until 24th. Can't miss this one!

HAPPY 25TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

hehe
She did it again!

Just in case you look here first,

Happy Silver Anniversary to you both

Happy Silver wedding Anniversary. Hope you have had a wonderful day with lots of Bubbly to celebrate.

Vicky...Its still the 24th here, so since we celebrate everthing on two days at this site, I'm not too late to wish you and hubby a wonderful start on your next 25 years of wedded bliss! Sure hope you had a great time celebrating the first 25 years.

Hope you and hubby had a great anniversary yesterday. It was wonderful to meet you at last :)

Thank you Victoria for your visit. I enjoyed hearing about your SIL's(sister-in-law?) expeience in China. Yes, the pollution is out of control in Shanghai and Beijing but we were able to visit areas where the air is still relatively clean. Love your pictures of your dog.

Hi Victoria, and thanks for the welcome, am just catching up on what's what and where things happen - it's a totally different forum to what I'm used to and still trying to get the hang of it!

Yes, it would be terrific to try and catch up some time when you're down here. I am usually well and truly here on the Coast at that time of year as eldest is usually in full training mode, even training on Christmas Day if it isn't a Sunday. Ah the life of an athlete.

Looking forward to getting to know some of the folks around here.
Ciao,
Cathy

so much Victoria for dropping by and helping to make my day special.
This was my first birthday since joining sudokuland and it was so wonderful to have so many visitors and receive so many wonderful gifts. Gotta LURVE them cyber presents.

at least you don't get fat on cyber cake......

Nice to hear from you Victoria, I certainly hope we can all get together sometime. Mary is still talking about the get together down the coast, so Im looking forward to my first one, hopefully the next one's on a day I don't work, once again

Hi there Victoria... you're it.....you've been tagged!
See Angies comments on easy if in doubt of what is expected..hehe!!!

Thank you Victoria for making my birthday a special one.
Many sudoku friends from around the world coming to visit me and wishing me a Happy Birthday have overwhelmed me.
Peter and the boys took me out to dinner to a Chinese Restaurant, and on the Sunday, we had a delicious Roast Dinner at MIL’s.

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.

Hi Victoria, thank you for the birthday wishes and visiting my page.

Hello Vicki - a big for your best wishes on the arrival of my grandson, Bailey.
Thank you from us all.

Hi Vicki, just getting around to everyone who wished Col and I a Happy Anniversary last week. Thanks very much - we had a lovely 'short break' at Port M, an enjoyable mini-Sudoku-meeting with Elise and a nice dinner at a posh restaurant on the night. Back to the grindstone now, ughh! Cheers.

Captain Cook's Cottage I guess is the Scmapps one? Great photo, Vicki & congratulations! They got one of mine too, from Tasmania!

Oops sorry. Didn't seem to be going so I hit the button again after correcting the spelling!

What a pretty building! It looks like it is in a very pretty setting! Congratulations!

Hi Vicki! Love your photo. It's nice to think that I have stood in almost that same place! Seeing this pic makes me want to go back & search through our photos from Melbourne. It seems to me Rob took a pic of me somewhere near a red mailbox there - does that ring a bell? Guess the Schmaps people might be looking over lots of our Sudoku photos. They saw one of Rob's of Frankfurt, Germany on my flickr page & asked permission to include that one. Hope you are well & happy. How are Reggie & the other members of your family? Hugs from Florida.

Hi Victoria. I was at Captain Cook's Cottage somewhere between the ages of 6 & 9 1/2, because that's when we lived in Melbourne! That was between 1958 & 1951 which would have been before you were there. I copied your idea & put it on my page! If you want to check what it looks like on the page go to: http://www.schmap.com/app/shortlist.do
I wonder how many others on the site have been approached & have photos there!

Hi Victoria! (my fellow Vicki) Thank you so much for the warm birthday greeting. I saved some b'day cake for you - enjoy as it has no calories!!! I've really enjoyed visting your page and seeing your beautiful pictures - and I love your avatar today

Victoria - Thank you for your bithday greeting. The weather isn't cooperating - yesterday was 108°, today, my "medicare" birthday, is suppose to be 105°.

Mom called this morning to sing me Happy Birthday. Last year I was in So. Cal. with her for my Birthday.

Tonight, I will be working Britt & listening to Midori and the Britt Orchestra, and being Pop Corn Queen - a title I got several years ago. [Not a fun job when it is hot - sun on the back & heat from the kettle. But during classical allows time to mix with friends.] I've found the least amount of clothes I'm allowed to wear and still be presentable.

Happy 19th Birthday to your #2 son

Vicki, yesterday was certainly a day full of highs and lows for all of you.
to your #2 son. for the rest of his apprenticeship.
to your boss and wife on the arrival of their granddaughter Meg.
to your niece, you and all the rest of the family. Such sad news to receive. May all your memories of him be great ones.

Happy birthday to Son #2 - J - for Wednesday! I hope his apprenticeship is going really well. My Son#2 is thinking about the same field, but at 15, has more time to think about it yet.

Hi Victoria. I guess you're still superbusy? Hopefully things will slow down for you soon....thinking of you.

Thanks for your reply. Oh well. Look on the bright side. At least you're not getting bored! A for your work desk to adorn your new surroundings.

Hi Vicki, thanks for the message about my retirement. Even though sale went through 2 weeks ago, Col was contracted to stay with the new owner for 2 weeks so he finishes today. I have champagne ready for when he gets home. So looking forward to going to WA and will meet Rolanda and Mary in Perth (not sure if anyone else is going) and staying with Anne in Albany so it should be a hoot. Will try to let people know how we're going but not sure when and if I can get to a pooter. But, will take pics and post them when we get home.
Enjoy your holiday - nice to get a break from work. Hope all is well with you and yours. Cheers C x

Vicki - thanks so much for taking the time to visit my page and wish me a happy birthday! I loved browsing your photo gallery. Please join me in finishing off my

Thanks Victoria for the lovely birthday message, My day was full of joy, love and laughter, as you said.
My friends are taking me to lunch today, so the celebrating still has not finished.
thanks again Liz

Hello Victoria
Thanks for your welcoming message. Yes I am a Bressie girl, from the big CBD. I am not entirely familiar with all the wonderful surroundings but my last acquisition(GPS)will help a lot. Before I used to go somewhere...anywhere...not knowing exactly where...and had never been able to go back there...but those days are over. If I don't remember, the GPS does! Coming back home always been easy....followed ''TO CITY '' sign. Always made it in no time!

****ATTENTION: ALL QUEENSLAND SUDOKUIST****
Our esteemed Ian from Sydney and his charming wife Anne will be in my neck of the woods (Thorneside) from the 26th to 28th September.
Any Sudokuists and their families are invited to join me in a get together at my place either Saturday 27th or Sunday 28th (to be decided) for a lunchtime BBQ. Please post your preferences on my page and I will confirm the date shortly.

Hi Vicki, sorry you cannot make it, Ian and Anne will be in town the whole time you are away...grrrr! Well next time. Hope you and yours are well.

Thanks so much for the lovely welcome to Zeke, Vicki! Yes, he will get lots of hugs ... he's going to be living only three houses away from us! Our other three grandchildren are within twenty minutes, too, so we are very fortunate. It's great to hear from you!
