Stella from Saratoga, NY/USA

Hi Stella,

Thanks for the visit and flowers you left at my page. The dogs and I loved it. We are leaving some fresh produce from our garden. I hope you enjoy the rosting ears. By the way, the picture of the ball team is great.

Hi Stella, thanks for stopping by and for the flowers. It's the middle of the night here and I have been sleeping restlessly, so my wife suggested I get up, make a 'cuppa' and check the weather on the radar. Actually I think it was some kind of hint to get me out of bed so that she could get a bit more sleep. I have found that women are very good at dropping little hints to get us mere males to do what they want. What do you think?

Hi, Stella! I kept trying to comment on the SA2 page, but it wouldn't accept any of my posts. I wonder if Ian from Boston got me booted out of the room? Hope you enjoy the rest of your day!

Rats! I just now thought of this after you left the SA2 page, Stella. Last fall the daughter of Glenn, Winter Springs, FL started college. He asked people to send postcards to her. If we could all get your e-mail address, you could give us your daughter's school address. She could have a bunch of 'aunties' sending her an occasional postcard.

Hi Stella!
Thanks for dropping by... it's so nice to have guests. Hope you found a bottle of wine floating around somewhere!

I've just brought you some fresh daffodils from my garden (and chucked out oll the old dead flowers you had about the place!)

I'll have to go and check out what that competition was all about that you one. I was a bit oblivious to that one. I notice that it ended on my birthday so I think I was a little busy that day!
Have a great maEn

I meant the competition that you WON!
Sorry for the typo

Thank you, Stella, for the lovely anniversary wishes and the flowers! We had a wonderful time swimming, kayaking, dining with friends and celebrating the big day! It's good to be home, however!

Hi, Stella! That's a great pic of the horse. for stopping by my page! You're right; we have been missing each other on SA. We have been very busy, in and out of the house, etc., so not too much computer time. I've been trying to at least keep up with the SA posts as I find a spare minute. I enjoyed the ideas shared during the discussion of school plans for the fall! Darn, I just checked smilies for a sticking out tongue, which I wanted for the nay-sayers and doubters who think SA is all fluff and nonsense. Anyway, hope you and yours are having a great day!

Hey Stella, I read your AAADD post, but now I can't remember what I wanted to say about it! Nice photos of Brendan's graduation. Give him my best wishes for all future goals. Cheers!

Thanks, Stella! Isn't he terrific? FYI, we ate at the Olde Bryan Inn a few years' back--one of the best lunches we ever had, and the place is so wonderfully rich with atmosphere. I'm leaving you with a bouquet of flowers for your table and a bottle of wine to celebrate the 4th. Cheers!

Thanks for coming to visit. and leaving the lovely flowers for when I waked up this morning..

Planing on changes to my Page soon. in honour of the birthday boys ( #2 turning 18 in July, and #1 turning 21 in August)...

Thank you for visiting my page.

Stella...Happy forth....enjoy the fireworks, food and family!

Stella, Big thanks for the birthday greeting on my page. I am pleased to report that I had a GREAT day!
Kate.
btw, your kids on your flickr page are gorgeous! looks like a fun group!

If you guys and ladies liked my soccer video than you will like what I put on this site. Just go to clips and go down to movie trailers and theres ratatouille.

Stella, thanks for popping in. Hope you had a great weekend, where did you go? I have been busy myself so havn't really been able to catch up with everyone, my timming is not so good these days. I'll will try and catch up on SA page one day!

Hi Stella. Great chat tonight. Just wanted to let you know that it was your family pics up on your page that made me really want to have mine there too. Had made hubby and youngest promise to investigate the flickr avenue but now, I don't have to. Thanks heaps for your encouragement.

Hey Stella just popped in to say thanks for all the laughs tonight it was fun.

Hi Stella, thanks for coming by my page & don't worry about not having been by for awhile - I rarely have time to visit peoples pages myself, unfortunately. I love your photos, they are great. I will probably get mine up by next week, so drop by again then & have a look.
I love your youTube, too, such a great song. Mine is Joan Baez singing 'Diamond's & Rust', a song she wrote about Bob Dillon after they had split up. I hadn't heard it for years & then rediscovered it on itunes, & put it on my ipod, & then decided to have a look for the video. Have a listen to the words, they are beautiful.

Hi Stella, Just a quick note re sizing of pics. We used a program called Picassa which hubby downloaded free from Google. It seemed to work perfectly and H reckons everyone raves about it.

Hi Stella, Thank you for the flowers and a great You Tube. I'm a big fan of pop culture with music leading the way. From what I read you are one of many beautiful ladies on the site. I hope you always enjoy being part of what is mostly good stuff.

Hi Stella,
Thanks for the welcome. You don't live far from me. I live east of North Adams, MA, in the woods with my dogs (my weakness are my German Shepherd Dogs). I envy you living near the horses! Sudoku led me to this site, but it appears there are lots of nice people here, too.
Thanks, again, for the welcome!

Hi Stella, thanks for the flowers! I just read your poem on Nal's page, beautiful, but hard to type with tears in my eyes. May I please copy it and use it? Thanks

Stella, I feel bad that I haven't been to your page before. Love the painted horse picture. Isn't there a statue of Seabiscuit at Saratoga Springs? The Howard Ranch where he lived is just outside the town I live in. Since the movie, the ranch has seen renovations and has just gotten a replica of that statue. A little late for a page warming gift, but I'll give you a Redwood Burl anyway. When Greg and I get together in mid-October, it would be great if you could join us.

Hi Stella! Thanks for stopping by my page. I got a chuckle out of your comment about wishing Ebony 'speedy & successful dippings'! That was cute. I feel so sad today about poor Rocko. It wasn't that long ago when we had to euthanize our little Munchkin so I know how terrible Nal feels. Rocko's ailments make Ebony's mange seem like nothing so I can't complain. At least she's not going to die from that. By the way, you asked about my grandchildren - there are 5 boys & 2 girls. The one in the sand whose head only is showing is a girl named Asa - hard to tell in the picture! I had three daughters, then two granddaughters & thought I was never going to have a little boy in my life. Then guess what - the next five grandchildren born were ALL boys! So be careful what you wish for! What are your children's names & ages? I haven't quite figured it out from your pictures. Some of them when I clicked on them to enlarge, they become too big to fit on the page. Did anyone else report having that problem?? Changed my avatar to suitcases since we got them out again today. Not going out of the country this time, just up to PA & MD for 6 days. Be back on July 19. See you later!

Great pictures Stella. Love the horses! Here are some jonquils from garden. They're very confused this year because the first one opened it's buds on the 1st of June (winter's beginning down here!). I'm not complaining though because they look good & smell great!

hiya stella..thanks for the visit and invitation to the SA page..sure i shall pop in when i find time..feel free to visit at any time to my page and do enjoy some off beat stuff i store o'er there..
cheers

OOPS! Sorry, Stella! I have fixed my master sheet. It will appear tomorrow.

Stella, I saw your SA2 post about gift cards. I don't know about NY, but in some states,the practices you are describing are illegal. Try calling the Consumer Protection division of the Attorney General's Office. They may have some info. Failing that, a letter to the company president (which you can find on Google) can straighten out the situation. I can suggest more drastic measures if you like.

Thanks Ian, I'll check that out. I'll let you know if I get anywhere. Thanks!

Stella, thank you so much. The poem is beautiful. Just as when we grief for a loved one, all I want is to pet him just one more time......

Hi Stella, wow what a big good looking family, must have been hard to get all of them together at one time. nice pics, thanks for visiting, have been on a fishing trip so just catching up on the posts and haven't had time to try out the new feature yet, well mabey tomorrow, thanks for visiting and have a few avatars but the Yogi seems to fit me the best, have a great night.

Thank you for visiting my page. I'm not here very often, but I try to change my YouTube once a week. This week is John Mellencamp - 'Authority Song.' Here's hoping you have a good evening and rest of the week.

Thanks for the lovely visit, Stella, and the lovely flowers, which always add a cheery touch to any day. Have a wonderful week!

Stella, I've sent you two e-mails that I don't think have gone through. Did they? It's 12:40 now. I'll be home again by 5:00.

Hello Stella just popped into say thank you for coming to visit me. Love the horse photograph and you have some wonderful family photos. Take care xx

Stella - for stopping by my site - while my page is under construction, I have posted a blast from the past. I still have to figure out how to post a picture and get an avatar. Thanks for the flowers.

Hi, Stella -- thanks for visiting my page! Here's some goodies for you from the Pacific Northwest: chinook salmon and Tim's Cascade chips!

In answer to your question on my page, I start the timer when I start entering possibilities...

Have a great day!

Hi Stella, thanks for dropping by, I really love the flowers, brightens the place up. The Marie Celeste was a ghost ship, she was found floating in the Atlantic with nobody on board. Food was on the table, beds not made up, just looked as if aliens had taken everyone. The ship was under full sail. BTW love the horse, where did the children get it from? Bright idea. TTFN

Stella: Thanks for calling by my page last week. I don't go there very often myself these days, hence the late reply. I enjoyed your photo gallery. One day maybe I'll get around to posting some photos too - when I have the time to play. Keep well - and enjoy your summer. It's pretty cold in my part of the world at the moment, but we're enjoying good rains after several years of drought. I doubt if we'll receive enough to ease the water restrictions next summer though, as the reserves are so low. One of the local irrigation reserves dropped to .8% of capacity. It's over 1% now, but there hasn't been very much rain in the catchment areas yet.
