Hi everybody around the world!
Welcome to my page,  here in the eastern edge of the Midwest US.
Come in, make yourself comfy, have a beer (Moosehead, my favorite) or a glass of white wine and don't forget the chocolate buckeyes!  If you've never had a buckeye, let me explain:  Ohio is called the "buckeye state" and our state tree of course is the buckeye tree.  The Ohio State Buckeyes are a great college football team (although I'm not much of a fan, having grown up in Maryland).  The buckeye tree produces a nut that is round and dark brown, with a tan spot at the top.  Around here you can buy chocolate buckeye candies - with peanut butter inside!  Yum!

A little about me --  I have 3 kids, 2 cats, 1 bunny and a husband who works too much.  I work part-time during the winter/spring preparing tax returns for H&R Block, while trying to grow my website design business (Midwest Web Design -- www.MidWebDes.com) in my "spare" time, as well as a new business selling comfortable clothing for women at parties.  Great quality stuff!  New division of an old company. www.myjockeyp2p.com/lindamustric if you'd like to see the catalog.

Our son - 18, just graduated HS, daughter - 15, 10th gr, other daughter - 13, 8th gr.

Our labradoodle puppy, Rocky, is 3.

Hi Linda! Glad you stopped by my page & enjoyed the painted bunting. We had no idea what it was when we first saw it. I had to search through some bird books to find it! Hope your daughter has a good time at G.S. camp this week. Is this her first time away from home? I can still remember my first week at resident camp, my daughter's, & now my granddaughter's!!! Wow, life goes fast.

Linda! I hope you have a great day!

And since I am here on Thanksgiving I will also wish you and your family a wonderful thanksgiving and hope that you have much to be thankful for!

I have 2 girls - 15 and 12 years old - and one of our dogs is called Rocky. Weird and freaky how small this world can be!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, Linda, to you and your loved ones!

Be safe if you're driving in this winter season! My sis in Shaker Heights tells me about the severe weather they've been having and it sounds pretty scary! (that may be why they are looking to retire in Virginia or other warmer state)...

Hi Linda
I was reading your blurb above and noticing similarities... I have a 15 yo who will start Year 10 in January (might be February due to a planned teacher's strike) and a 12 yo who will start Year 7, and also a husband who works too much. But the most important similarity.... there is a six pack of Moosehead beer in our fridge right now!

Thanks for the birthday wishes Linda. I hope you had a great Christmas, I have not been on much, I got married on the 13th of December so it has been a bit hectic. I forgot to mention this to people.

Linda, as an animal lover, I just had to stop in to send you my heartfelt condolences on losing your bunny. How sad to lose such a precious pet. Thinking of you ...

Sad to hear about Benjamin Bunny.
I hope he was hoppy before he went to that hutch in the sky.

Hi Judy,
Came for a quick visit and saw your b-day pictures, it looks like everyone had a good time! I turn 50 this year and not sure yet how I want to celebrate, except I have already told my family and close friends no surprise party for me. I think I would like to go somewhere new for the weekend, well we will just have to wait and see. My birthday is Cinco de Mayo, so it's usually a good time - any reason to have a party! (BTW - Your oldest daughter looks so much like you.) Well let me know if you have any words of wisdom on turning 50, I am hoping that it's just another number!

Take care and be well,
Aimee :)

Hi, Linda! How exciting! Jekyll is the next island south of us. It's just 18 miles from our door to the Jekyll Island beach. I go there a lot for the beach, tennis and biking. The only conflict in July is the week Fiona will be in Orlando. Kathy (Valrico) and I are planning a Sudoku get-together sometime between July 15 and the 23rd. We'll be talking this afternoon about setting the date. When will you be at Jekyll? I certainly don't want to miss an opportunity to meet you!!! ♥Jane

Hi, Linda! I don't know if you got my last message, but I was hoping that we could get together for lunch on July 22nd while you're on Jekyll. Does that work for you?

Hi, Linda! I really enjoyed meeting you last week at Jekyll! And I hope you'll be able to attend the next big Sudoku event (probably a cruise!) I showed your catalog to the "chooks" while we were in Florida, and Kathy seemed very interested in some items, so she took the catalog home with her. You should be hearing from her! ♥Jane

Hi Linda! I sent you an e-mail yesterday about a Jockey item I saw in the catalog Jane gave me. Did you get it? Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. When do your kids go back to school? My Florida grandies started yesterday. My granddaughters are very close in age to your daughters!
