Hia Viv
I hope you have had a lovely day today your birthday,

Happy, Happy, Birthday, Viv. I hope you have a fantastic day, and that everybody will be especially nice to you today. Should anybody forget, take a newspaper and give them a whack on the head. :)

Viv! Hope you had a fantastic day! Have a great trip!

Thank you for the birthday good wishes.

Just wanted to pop by and let you know how much I'm missing you, my sweet twin! I know you are having a grand time...but I am looking forward to your return. Just not the same around here without you. As you see, I am not donning my Vibrant name until you return!

Yipee! Welcome home, Viv!
I hope you had a fabulous trip. It's great to see your smiles on the pages again - you were definitely missed!

Hi, Vivacious VIv! I love your pictures! I have a teeny little request, though. Would it be possible to identify people in the Sudoku Meet pictures? I don't know everyone by sight. THANKS ever so much! By the way, WELCOME HOME!

Hi Viv! It was great meeting you in Melbourne - hope you had a good time - I certainly did! :)

Viv for your kind words about Scrappy and Mum. You are so sweet.

Just went through your photos again, gosh they put a smile on my face. We had a great time, didn't we all. So much fun!

VIV for the big welcome.I will try to enjoy myself in the site as much as every one els does.VIVA La VIV and the PIES
Cheers

Hi VIV
I was talking about Ausie rules.Iam a COLLINGWOOD supporter for almost 38years.Don't try to change I triedafter so many disappointments and did not work.I love them.
Iwill say again VIVA LA VIV bacause you liked it and GOOD OLD COLLINGWOOD for ever.
Cheers

Caw Viv !!!
You really think that eventually I shall have REAL wings - ones that FLY.
Who wants a roller-board for next birthday with a pair of real working WINGS on offer?
For me they would liven heaven up a bit. I mean - otherwise there is nothing to do up there except pray, read the good books, and shred your finger on a harp. Do the All-powerful Goodnesses up there provide plectrums, or shall I need to take them with me when I go?

I'm sorry VV for mixing you up with VV, and I thank you for pointing that out. Apart from my own increasing senility one reason for the confusion was a recent trend of people changing the names by which we have known them. Consequently I thought Vivacious and Vibrant were vicarious for one and the same dame.
Just now my confusion is even deeper than it was as I try to un-entangle two characters.

Ours look piddly in comparison, but we are proud anyway!!!

Thanks for your kind comments about my photos - you are welcome any time.

Hi Viv! Thanks for your good wishes - I'm sure we'll all think of you as we eat too much cake and drink too much of whatever's going! - ok, I don't actually drink, but it's the thought that counts, isn't it! ;)
Rob and I really enjoyed meeting you all in Melbourne - a fun day! :)

Hi, Vivacious Viv! Thank you so much for the birthday greetings. I am enjoying the second day of my 2-day Sudoku birthday celebration, although today, Thanksgiving in the US, is the actual day. Thanks for the kind greeting and warm thoughts. Have a great day, both today and tomorrow!

Viv - I also use shrinkpictures and enter 50 - sometimes it's ok, sometimes not, so I just try another. I've had a few just come up black. There's probably better sites but I'm not tech savvy enough to investigate. I just take what I can get.

Hi Viv.

Yes, the photos were done by a professional - but one who does 'mini' sessions for Christmas, Mother's and Father's Days. Website is http://karinahonyiphotography.com/blog/ if you are interested. She is also a whizz on the old Photoshop so here's hoping we wont see any bags under my eyes.

Got to stop procrastinating and get back to my assignment - my first and I'm already finding 'other' things to do.

WOO HOO, Twin! Just read on SA about hubby's new job - congratulations to you both!
Now you can continue the work you love.

Hey friend, how are you doing?
I think of you often, and even though I have not kept up with the latest, I was saddened to see all you and yours' woes, and happy to see there have since been some resolutions.
All the best to hubby in his new job.
Ethan, be the best YOU you can be. I think you are fantastic.
Viv, keep that chin up mate, we are with you all the way.

to Trevor! I'm so glad you were able to post today Viv - it was getting pretty quiet there without you!
Hope Mr. Viv has a very special birthday...
glad he can relax and enjoy it knowing he has his employment back!

Trevor! I hope you have a great day!!

Thank you Viv! What a wonderful surprise! But how am I supposed to return the thought without a return addy???? Pretty tricky of you to leave that off!

Wishing you all the very best for the Festive Season

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

Hi there Vici,


Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful Christmas this year

for your cyber friendship.



I guess that while we swelter in Darwin you will have a cold toed white Christmas. 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 but I prefer it just with soda.

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