Kathy from Valrico, Florida, USA

Your Aussie photos of the different groups you met are lovely, Kathy. Thanks for posting them.

'Merry Christmas to you, too, Jeb...& he loved the Oban. I got him a bottle for his 69th birthday yesterday. Have you ever had that one?'

...show's how long it's been since I checked my mail box, a very delayed greetings back to you. I love your page picture. I got to hold a Koala many years ago when my ship made a port call at Sidney. They have to have THE softest fur if I remember correctly.

I do have a jug of Oban and a few others that come out only for special occasions/friends. I call them my 'sippin' whisky' and there's a right decent but affordable blend we dub 'drinkin' whisky'. Hope all is well with you as the sun ventures South with the birds.

Nice to hear back from you too. I missed out tuning in to the big aussie gathering, I'll bet it was a hoot. I do miss the old chat room fun we had back in the day. There were some wicked wits from down under that kept it hoppin'. I hope you got to meet some of them, I just wish I could remember all the names. I don't do facebook at all but my child bride is thumbing thru hers every evening. All that stuff just left me behind. My cell phone is flip type hidden away in a drawer where it can't hurt anyone. I pop into the site a couple times a week and work the hard and tough puzzles and that's about it. We're both doing fine. My co-pilot is now a 5 year breast cancer survivor and my total hero and I can proudly welcome Rob into the zipper club as I had mine 6 years ago. Ain't getting gray a blast! She's still directing the school district orchestras and I'm still retired as he!! with a debilitating golf habit and keeping our wee motor ready for adventure wherever it may take us.

Happy birthday Kathy!

You also have a virtual birthday card coming via the electronic highway! Only 22 more to go to reach the century mark, so keep going young lady!

Hi Kathy. I just want to wish you and all your loved ones a happy festive season. Merry Christmas, and Peace.

Dear Kathy and Robert,
Have a Merry Christmas! Try not to get frazzled and knot yourself with the holiday stress. Or you'll end up Always, shosho

Hi Kathy, thanks for dropping by and wishing me a happy birthday. Unfortunately my eldest son was working late last night so the celebration dinner is happening tonight instead so the whole family can be together, making it a two-day birthday!

Hello Kathy - thank you for checking out my photos of Antarctica. It all must have looked very familiar to you.
It sure was an amazing experience. Loved every minute of it.

Kathy, we never find out the gender of our babies before we are born. I'm due May 3rd. I think the 3d ultra sounds they have these days are a little on the creepy side. But I suppose they provide a better look at what's going on.

Hi Kathy, thank you for the birthday wishes! No, we don't offer items for sale at this point. We are trying to make a go with local sales. The studio is really a creative outlet for all the members, We all have regular jobs. The gallery sales help buy materials and cut down on the excess pottery in our homes.

Hello Kathy - thank you for your lovely birthday wishes. I worked until one o'clock, met up with Amanda for lunch, then collected Jaimee from town and she stayed for the night. Johnathan and Bailey and their dad brought pizzas around for tea, which was really lovely. I've had a lazy day today after being on the go all day yesterday.

for the birthday wishes, Kathy! Remember, ''old is only in your head''!! Yeah, right! I had a great day, and I thank you for remembering me! Hopefully, together, we can usher in the successful Harbaugh Era! Go Blue!

Hi Kathy
Not sure how you knew David Balfour. Posted on site but you may not go back and see it. Janet and I worked with David in the 70's. Got the news of his death from ex employees group. So sad.
And it is 12 months ago since you were here as our son & DIL celebrated first anniversary the other day. We will become grandparents for the first time in June. Our daughter has also surprised us, after 15 years she is having her first in August. Both are boys.
Cheers Janet & David

It's an incredibly small world isn't it. Absolutely amazing that we have met and both knew quite independently of David Balfour.
I will drop June a message as well.
Sure will let everyone know about grandchildren.
I think winter is starting here. Night temperatures are starting to drop.
Cheers
David

Thanks for that information Kathy. I've been trying to organise 3 dog shows for next weekend so this my first visit to the site for over a week
Cheers
David
