Linda from Minnesota

Hurrying to check out your pictures, and remembered that I hadn't thanked you for your nice words about my family.

Linda, Hi! Hope you're having a great day! Here are some flowers to brighten it! Picture the flowers in wine bottles! Love the label! You don't need to work, you can just make and sell your wine! My SIL makes wine for fun too. Remember, you're welcome at SA2 anytime! Take care!

Linda, yes, please feel free to use the poem. I adapted it from an anonymous Irish blessing. I had looked up so many last July when my Dad died that I just seem to be using them alot. Watching Nal's video of the Rainbow Bridge was definitely a tear jerker, so very sad. The depth of Nal's feelings definitely comes through. Have a great day!

Hey Linda.....Don't worry about it. I'm just very appreceiative that you tried. You just ran into the same stuff that I've found here on the East coast. Its been awhile since this coin was released and I was sure you'd be able to get it there also. However, Kathy/Md has one and is saving it in reserve just in case you ran into problems...always good to have a plan b. Glad you had fun anyway...that was more important...stay safe. The good that came out of this is that now we have emails and can be in touch whenever....Wonderbar!

Hi Linda. What's happened to your Naughty Corner Toesé, your Spanking Good Whine and Canuk Greg's Private Reserve? I tried to show your labels on line today to someone and they have disappeared.

Hi Linda, 'Brandy' is one of my favorite songs from my youth. I've never seen the singer before and he is not what I pictured (the Marlboro man dressed like a sailor).lol He kind of looks like Alice Cooper. Still a favorite of mine anyway. Thanks.

Linda, thank you for being there for me, specially in this time. Love your babies much and take loads of pictures. I spent the whole day yesterday putting all of Rocko's pics in one folder. I cried much and the pain, sometimes, is unbearable; then I remember how distraught he would look whenever I was sad! I feel his presence constantly!

hi linda honey!!! well we made it back home at 3am on saturday morning. 18 hours in the car with sadie was enough. thanks so much for meeting us. that sure was fun!!! we sure did put away the liquor, huh? we need to do it again...this time for longer! it was the highlight of my trip! thanks again hon!!!love ya

Hello, LK. Things are fine here, and I hope they are with you as well.

This wine lover says for your addition to my new site. I put together the annual ''Days of Wine & Roses'' for the LaCañada Flintridge Tournament of Roses for over 10 years. My husband & I had the 'terrible' job of traveling the wine country each year to get about 20 participating wineries each year. One year we visted 70 wineries in 11 days (most by appointment). Your choice of gift is greatly appreciated. Hope you had a couple of laughs at the video.

Gewürztraminer, one of my favorite wines - with the spritz on the end. Great with Thai food.

We use to have 'Gewürz' blind tasting in the Spa (104°).

LINDA, where is the 'delete' function? I saw you saying thanks for it. I had spoken to Gath about adding delete back when he asked for suggestions (I probably was not the only one) , now I can't find it! Any help appreciated!

Since I know your not around yet...BEER CAN!

LINDA, many thanks, yes, I found the button, very good! I shall use it wisely

Hi Linda, Thank you very much for the birthday wishes, I had a very nice day. Your beautiful picture above had me courious so got out the map to see where you live. I have never had the chance to visit your part of the U S, maybe someday.

Hi Linda,

My dogs are named Dudley Do-Right, Bentley, Penelope, AKA, Mamadog, and the baby is Dilbert. They are my pride and joy. I want you to know how much I love the fair city of Duluth, in your state. If it was a litle warmer in the winter I would like to live there. My grandfater was an old Swede who came to the United States and settled in this area. During the latter part of his life he didn't like the hot summers here and moved to Popular, Wis where he lived out his life in the climate of his youth. I learned of Duluth through him and love the summers there. I enjoyed your visit to my page and want to thank you for your visit.

So here I am on the site alone...no one to stop me from spreading all of my beer cans. So I am here to leave cans everywhere and just like at CGregs, I will leave one full one for you to enjoy while you look for others!

Liked your song today Linda, and commented on your latest photos! Cheers my friend!

hi Linda,
Seems there are quite a lot of changes around the site.Many changes as well in my life. Hope to contact you soon.

Thanks for visiting my page! I grew up in Waterloo, Iowa, home of John Deere Tractor Works. Waterloo's weather is probably similar to yours: long, cold winters and hot, humid summers. But wonderful soil to grow anything. I have also lived in Cedar Rapids and Johnston, Iowa, a suburb of Des Moines. Cedar Rapids is the home of Quaker Oats and Johnston is the home of Pioneer Seed Corn. The reunion was held in the Amana Colonies because of my mother's German heritage. Now where are you from in Iowa?

Linda it was great chatting with you this afternoon in the chat room.
Being the nosy person I am, I looked at your pictures. Looks like you live in a piece of heaven. Your children and pets are beautiful--oops you son is handsome.
Hope to chat with you again.

Wow, what a small world. We used to drive through Marshalltown regularly to visit my relatives in Alden and Buckeye. How do you like Minnesota by comparison?

Gday Linda, after having a quick peak at your page, I don't believe I've left my calling card as yet. How terribly remiss of me! I have popped in before because I remember the pics you had up of the mocksident that your daughter took part in before the prom. Gosh, that looked realistic.
I have brought along a bottle of bubbly and a plate of nibblies because my mother told me never to go visiting without a gift.
If you're ever in the neighbourhood, pop into my page. If I'm not in, make yourself at home, pull up a chair and meet my family.

Linda, as you can see in my photos, Utah (and the mountain West) have spectacular scenery. I had so many untreated allergies growing up in Iowa that I had bronchitis about half of the time. When I first moved out West for school when I was 18 years old, I discovered good health among other things. My first summer back home in Iowa brought flu and bronchitis back, so I decided the desert West was best for me. However, I did end up living back in the Chicago, Illinois area; Toledo, Ohio; Johnston and Cedar Rapids, Iowa; and the Kansas City area at various times. Kansas City (Shawnee) was the only climate that agreed with me other than the West. So I love it out here, but I miss many of my good friends back in the Midwest - that is the hardest thing about moving. As one of my daughters reminds me, every place has its virtues and downsides; just make sure you remember the good aspects. My granddaughter just informed me she needs to be at a birthday party in 20 minutes, so I need to go. We fly in to Minneapolis and then rent a car to drive over to Menomonie, Wisconsin, to visit my mother-in-law and love the rolling hills, rural scenery, and lakes going that direction. Your photos remind me of some of that area.

Linda ~ 24 years is a very long time ,Carly and I will be married 24 years in sept. 2nd and its a very long long time!over half your life huh!
Thank you so much for the birthday visit,it means a lot ,Mom got a kick out of it,shes going well ,shes getting another shot tomorrow to build her blood up so as long as she stays the same were in good shape!

So, it's your anniversary! Congratulations! I'll bet there was a hot time in the old town tonight, HYB! Um ... you were just kidding about the ''5 years'' thing, right? XO

Hope you had a very special day today.

Belated Happy Anniversary, Linda! Your 24th? Congratulations!! Our big 2-5 comes up on the 7th of August and we still can't believe it. Wishing you and hubby all the best.

Always loved Victor Borga. I had forgotten about this routine. As a kid it was one of my favorites. for finding and presenting this. Do you remember his Lieberstram.

Linda, never laughed so hard. You pick a prime one! I can even do the punctuations, too. But I'd slobber all over my keyboard.

Linda - I found the routine about she stabbed herself between the two big..... (he use to pause a lot longer in the old days) ... trees.

I saw this is Vegas and also on TV several times as a child. There was also the routine of lisping Listz & falling asleep playing Liberstraum. (Couldn't find those) However, they do have the 'Page Turner'. I've heard the jokes so many times, but still I laugh. It is kind'a like Abbot & Costello or the Marx Bro.

I had forgotten about the punctuation routine, but couldn't help but laugh.

Just watched Deano and Victor youtube with hubby. Thank you so much for the good old belly laugh!

Linda, Happy Anniversary you guys. I hope you took some time from the moving to celebrate. Congratulations.

Happy Anniversary! Loved the YouTube!

Hi Linda. Bet you're glad to have Tom home, and the labels on his bottles are great. Guess that his coming home was a great anniversary gift for you and your mate. Enjoyed the YouTube. In his day and age, few could touch Victor Borge for his wit and humour. Cheers my friend!

Hi Linda - Happy Belated Anniversary!

I am very glad to hear you, your family and friends are all okay! What a terrible tragedy.

Hi Linda! Spent some lovely time looking at your photo gallery. Would you please give Tom a message for me. 'Thank you so much for your time and dedication to our great country.' And I'm very glad to hear that you and your family are safe and well today. You were the first person I thought of when I saw the news last night. Talk to you soon.
