Hello Elsie! Thank you for the Christmas greetings! My shopping is almost finished and most are wrapped. I started this summer so I am in good shape here! I tried to beat the bad weather. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas also!

G'day Elsie, my beautiful Sagittarian friend. I'm slowly catching up on Sudoku after our long trip through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, & Cambodia. I'm sorry I missed wishing you a happy birthday on Dec. 3 - hope you had a good one. I had a wonderful day on my birthday the 4th which began when we watched the sun rise at Angkor Wat in Cambodia - unforgettable! I have posted only one picture of our trip on my page so far, but I will try to whittle down the thousands of pictures we took to just our favorites & post them on Flickr as soon as I can find time. Meanwhile, Rob & I would like to wish you & your family a very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. I took a look at your latest photos - gosh, your daughter is beautiful. It's hard for me to believe that my oldest daughter will turn 40 on the 15th! Yikes, how can I be old enough to have a 40 year old daughter!!! The years fly by so fast. My oldest GRANDdaughter just turned 12. Life is good. I feel like a very lucky person. Take care of yourself & your wonderful family & stay healthy & happy.

Wishing you all the very best for the Festive Season

Hi there Elsie,


Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful Christmas this year



I guess that while we swelter in Darwin you will probably be feeling the heat also. Whatever and where ever, may it be a lovely celebration for you.


Here’s the traditional

LEMON CORDIAL
Ingredients:
Juice of 7 large lemons
Grated rind of 5 large lemons
1 kg sugar
1.25 litres of water
25g citric acid
Method:
1.In a large pan, boil up sugar, water, grated peel and citric acid.
2.Take off and add juice, If preferred, this may be strained.
3.Bottle whilst still hot into clean, sterilised (in oven) bottles

Mix it with gin and soda if you want an alcoholic drink.

May 2009 be a healthy, peaceful, joyful, hopeful, satisfying year for you

Elsie, may the Christmas spirit bless you and your family and the New Year be filled with joy and prosperity! Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Elsie!
Stopping in with Holiday greetings for you! Wishing you a Christmas full of love and joy ...and blessings throughout the new year!

Hi Elsie, just wanted to say Thanks again for the wonderful day in Adelaide. Amber and I will never forget it.
Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas and all the best in the New Year.

Hi Elsie, Thanks for dropping by and wishing me a merry Christmas . It has been a wonderful day. Starting with church this morning, then present opening. Dinner started at about 1pm with prawns and starters. We ate so much that we didnt start main course until about 4pm. Then we all went in different directions for a sleep and met up for pudding about 8[m - an all day affair. Having a 5 year old with us for Christmas added a bit of something special too. She helped to make a fresh floral Christmas wreath, and we decorated to make it a bit special etc.


If you were off to the beach, I bet you had a great time too.

Certainly hope so.



I'm heading south at New Year so May 2009 bring you health hope, joy, peace, love, goodwill -all the gifts of Christmas

elsie and family!

I know the feeling! But ... I don't believe it! My six year old has the grumps with me and wants to join the hoards on the harbourside next year!!!!!

Happy New Year!!!

Elsie! Wishing you a great new year!

Hi Elsie
Hope you had a great Christmas and that 2009 with health, happiness and everything good.

Hey Elsie, congrats to your beautiful daughter. She obviously has brains as well so she'll be fine

Hi Elsie, if I had known you were nearby I would have loved to meet up. I don't know where Strath is!

Congratulations to Stephanie on being accepted into mechanical engineering, and to you and Mr elsie on all you must have done to get her this far. You should all be extremely proud!

Hi Elsie! Thanks for the information on Disseminated intravascular coagulation that does (in my non-medical opinion) sound like what happened to her. It also sounds as if it is truly a miracle she survived. Latest report is that she is coming off dialysis tomorow, still needs a feeding tube, is getting out of bed (with assistance). Can speak, but half of her words are garbled. She spoke well enough to request a specific brand and flavor of ice cream. Thank you for you prayers!

Hi Elsie,
Thanks to drop by and i'm very glad to meet with you on our sudokuland.
i've been addicted to this website even if i can't get the line easily. ( from my corner of the world.

Happy Australia Day, Elsie!
Hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend!
Cheers!

Hi Elsie...so good to have you drop by.
I am also sorry that I missed out on meeting you when you over in December. Next time time you come over WILL meet...and if I ever get over your way I will certainly give you a ring. [of course I will need your number but I am sure we can manage that LOL...]
There was a photo on one of the puzzles the other and I said to hubby that I thought it looked like Elsie from Strath...and he said who?, where?...my reply ...not sure...haven't met her yet...he thought me VERY strange!!! But we will fix that!! Meeting you that is...I don't mind being strange!

Have just realised that you aren't on my friends list...no wonder I never catch up with you on site!

Golly...when will I ever learn to proof read before hitting send!!
Few missing words in the above post but I'm sure you will work them out..

Hope you have a wonderful long weekend.

Morning - elsie, could you please come over here and give me a hand. I'm working a double shift, have got 8 rooms full (improved from 11 a couple of hours ago), need help asap!!

Elsie's youngest!
Hope your special day is filled with happy surprises!

Happy Birthday to your youngest, Elsie! One more year and he moves into double digits! Wishing you both a great day of celebration!

Elsie - we melted (and flavored) white and milk chocolate candy melts in squeeze bottles (made for candy making) then filled molds and popped the molds in the freezer for a few minutes until set. Also made nougat centers and dipped them. And "turtles" - press caramel cubes into a flat rounds, top with pecan halves, and drizzle with melted milk chocolate. Finally, used homemade fondant in many colors (we call it "edible play dough") and cookie cutters to decorate the birthday cake.

Can resist posting message #150 while here. Looks like you have older/younger kid spread, too. I have 3 girls ages 21, 19 and 9.

Hi Elsie, please wish your son a Happy ninth birthday from Amber and me.

Pass on my best wishes to your youngest son for his 9th birthday.

Hope he has a fantabulous day.

Lots of love to you sweet friend!

Gday mate, just saw your question on last night's easy, so thought I'd pop over and answer it.
I am coming over to help my Dad pack Mum's clothes and stuff. I have inherited her bedroom suite, which was mine before I moved out of home, and her china display cabinet that I have loved for millenia! They are being picked up on Friday by the removalists, and I will spend the weekend with Dad, he's been pretty lonely and so worried about us over here with the fires etc that I think he will really appreciate the time with me.
Shame we can't catch up, I really don't think I would have the time anyway. Will be back over in early April for his 80th, maybe we can get together then?

Thanks for your kind words Elsie. It has been a hectic couple of months and I would love to be able to sit with you sometime and have a good old chinwag. I sure do still have your number, and if I get some spare time, or come over again, I will give you a buzz.
I plan on making the trip over every couple of months or so, I will make sure to contact you and make an arrangement. I often visit friends up Mylor way, so it will only be a hop, skip and a jump to come over your way.
Keep in touch xoxo

Hi Elsie, I'm sorry to say that our short visit to Adelaide in this Saturday (28th). We catch the Sunday Ghan for Darwin.
It's ironical that you are visiting Sydney at the same time as we are visiting Adelaide. But never mind, I'm sure there will be other opportunities.

just hopping in to wish you a very Happy Easter and a season full of joy!

Hi Elsie, Re Earth day - Wasn't it good that Sydney was without electricity for 3 hours around about then. I hope that they remembered to "not pass wind" as well.

They did it for all of us I'm sure. :)

Are you planning on going to the ACMI conference in Adelaide in September? I have flights booked but haven't been given leave yet.
