I just wanted to tell everyone "hi" and let you know I'm always thinking about you. I can't always keep up with postings because of that work-thing during the day and life responsbilities (ie cats, dogs, house, yard) in the evenings. I feel badly sometimes (often) that I don't respond to very many postings.

Chris and Vandie, I hope you're both on the mend. Kelly, Charee, Anna, I rejoice with your successful transplants and hope you're recovering well and starting to enjoy your new lives. Lola & Otto, my heart still breaks for you. Twirl, thanks for making me laugh. Sluff, I hope you're taking good care of yourself. I remember a while back you said you weren't watching your sugar level very well. We need you! Adam, I worry for you and your mis-adventures! Stauff, I hope you're still lurking. I miss your postings. I miss our lost members lost very much.

I know these are just a tiny, tiny few of your lifes' adventures. I guess I just wanted to let you all know (whether I mentioned you by name or not because I have to get back to that work-thing and I could stay in this message all day!), that I care about each of you and when I don't see a message for a while, I start to worry.

Be well ya'll!

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.

hey Deanne

Hope all is going well for you too.  You sound like a very busy girl and I think everyone here understands the time restraints placed on everybody so lovely to hear from you when you do drop in. xx

It's great to hear from you. Yes it's nice to follow the stories from day to day, and sometimes we take for granted the ones who are always on, but it means just as much when someone who we don't get to talk with very often, pops in with a nice message like this. Hope you are doing well also and yes I'm trying to keep things in control.  :grouphug;
