Welcome to my page

This is a picture of the Naperville Riverwalk in the fall of 2008 on a early Sunday morning. I love to walk along the Dupage River early morning and even in the Winter. Just up around the bend is a bridge with rapids running underneath it - you can listen to the water - very nice.

Mary - sorry I didn't catch your post yesterday - requesting info on Northern Lights. This You Tube video - I used at Christmas - it has some of the most amazing photos of the Northern Lights.

Hi Mary - Just stopped in to get some pointers from a pro. I can't beat my 4 year old daughter in wii bowling. She routinely bowl 180+. Today she had her personal best - 204. On a good day, I'll make it to the 150s. Can you offer any hints?

Hi, Mary! I hope you had a great day with your son (and his laundry)! At least he got to experience an almost spring-like day in IL!
You have mentioned your class and water a few times in comments. I thought I had it figured out that you teach water aerobics (an almost daily habit of mine). But then you mentioned putting together a story and guided imagery. You have my curiosity piqued. What do you teach - and is it at a YMCA, health club, or wellness center?
I hope you enjoy these tulips, as they hold the promise of spring.

Thank you for the welcome, however late. Looks like I'm having more visitors and need to lay out a fresh spread. I collected Breyer horses when I was a kid. I gave the (small) collection to one of my nieces. Another one has started her own collection, but she doesn't care if they are Breyer's or not - just as long as they have 4 legs and a tail!

Seems to have become a family affair as we all ride and chase cans.

for your comment Mary! I'm at work atm (Saturday morning here) and I really just cannot wait to get home. It's going to be hot today, around 32c - 35c I think. Lol I can't wait for the change of season either, autumn is beautiful, Spring is better though! Have a great weekend!

Mary, check under the photo there should a little green rectangular icon on the left (it's smaller than a fingernail) if it's either yellow or red it's a private photo & you can't bring it across. Just click on it & you get a messaging asking if you want to change the privacy rating, then change it to public!
(I put this message on the sudoku page but then thought it would be easier to find it here!!)

The other thing you could try, Mary, is make sure you're in the medium size and get the URL at the top of that page. These are mistakes I was making when I first tried to get some pictures across!

Hi Mymare: Thanks for the welcome and an early top of the mornin' to you too. And Chicago style pizza oh boy, love that, but I'll be celebrating in snow. Someone just told me that snowmen arrive unassembled - now that's a fact... Drop by again anytime

A belated thanks for your welcome visit... I love your spring poem. Your winter, from what I hear, was MUCH worse than ours, so I can't really complain. However, it is awfully nice to see the tops of daffodils and a few brave crocuses blooming. Enjoy your day!

Mary. Somehow I have managed to not visit before...not sure how.
I would remember visiting you....

'There is a pleasure in the pathless woods......
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne'er express, yet cannot all conceal.'

I can actually FEEL these words. Dunno how to explain it..weird.
I also love DWTS, dogs, horses, the outdoors, plants [especially trees], reading, water [have to live near water] and I have forgotten what else I was about to say.....
My given name means 'The Wanderer' - there has always been a wanderlust deep within my soul urging me to commune with nature and forget the ratrace.
for sharing Tom Petty & Runnin down a dream..
Have a wonderful day and I've enjoyed dropping by.

Hi Mary: Well Spring has sprung
The grass is riz
I wonder where the birdie is
Not quite as eloquent as your poetry - nor is it true where I am... We still have a foot of snow, been a long winter. I do however, wish you and your family a great Spring and a very Happy Easter. Did I tell you how much I enjoyed the Pizza... Cheers...

Hi Mary,

Thanks for the birthday wishes! And thanks for visiting. I don't know exactly how much Ian "loves" Sean at any given moment... they keep me busy, that's certain. Have a lovely day!

Mary. I am reading about your horse show every day and I am very interested in everything that is mentioned by you. Tell me more about it if you can. How many horses do you bring to the show and how far do you need to go. Have yourself a great weekend. Orianne

Hi Mary, your cheesecake sounds so good, could I get the recipe for that as well? Hope Lizzie has found a safe warm place to live. Bassets are renowned for just following their noses.
Hope you have a great day/night.

Hello Mymare and thank you for coming back to me about your horse show. It must be very interesting, I don't think we have anything like that around here. What is the approximate size of the horses. Have you been doing theses kind of shows for many years? I am glad that you did well and were happy with the results. Do people sell them at times? I wish you could have pictures of them so I could see what they look like. I am going to search on google to see if I can find anything similar.

Yes Angie made a beautiful figurine for me, I love it, I use it on msn when I chat but cannot use it here since I am not a supporting member.

We are finally enjoying better weather, our snow is almost all gone here in the city but not in the country.

Wishing you the very best and hope to hear from again.

Hi Mary, I wanted to thank you for the birthday greeting and welcome. I did just join, but I have enjoyed this site for many years. Actually, my birthday isn't until November 4th. I'm not sure where Gath got April 10th, but it made for a very special day. The timing was perfect. I believe that even mistakes happen for a reason. A very happy 16th birthday to your son. What a great age! Again, thank you for the special birthday wish and welcome. Sudoku forever, Margot
