Hello, Darksheare! Haven't seen you for awhile. Thought you were out shopping with your sister. Welcome back.

.

[Darksheare]

Been wandering around, haven’t had much time for posting as I work third shift these days.

[Mama_Bear]

Yorkie, you touched my heart with your words and I feel the same as you. My life has been so enriched by the friendships I have made here. I wish I could have put it into words as you did so beautifully.

[Mama_Bear]

LOL!! Well then, it's official....I shop like a girl.

Thanks, OESY, for finding graphics for these boring "holidays". You can make fun out of just about anything. ;-)

[WVNan]

Thank you for that daily bread, Rus. You know, that was the way the Lord called me to the ministry. I kept hearing that call; “Do you love me? Feed my sheep.” It is the most meaningful statement in the Bible.

[Mama_Bear]

Morning, jaycee. Looks like domania is back up. But then FR disappeared for awhile...or maybe it was just me. I rebooted and everything seems fine now.

I have appointments to take my MIL to today, but I trust, with exciting holidays such as Yukon Discovery Day and Financial Awareness Day, you guys can keep busy celebrating. LOL

[Mama_Bear]

Mornin’ Nan. I’ve been thinking about you a lot. Wondering how it is going with your comapny. :-)

[WVNan]

Speaking of enrichment of life through FR........well, you know. How could I have lived my life without meeting you? I'm still missing you and JK. Come "home", please come home.,p>Think of all the people I've met through this medium. You, Amy, Maggie, dutchess, OhioWfan & her son, mountaineer, Molly Pitcher, Dr.Deb, Dolly, Jim Rob and scores of others that I can't call the names. I hope I haven't missed anyone special. Everyone I've met has been special people and have enriched my life.

Hey, my company is gone and I'm taking a day OFF! I can't believe that I don't have a dozen things to do today, no meetings, no company to plan for at the moment. If you want to post any pictures & relate some of the things you did while here, you can do that today, this evening, when ever, you can feel free to do so. Loveya

The Ballad of Yukon Jake

Excellent! What a great Ballad. That perfectly captures the feeling of the Yukon for me.

[jaycee]

Are you kidding me.....I’m so excited about these celebrations, I may take a long winter’s nap~~LOL!

I will find something to post before the day’s over. Now, I have to go get beautiful (thats a joke). Hair appt. See you later!

[Mama_Bear]

Oh, Nan....enjoy your day off. If anyone deserves it, you do!

I need to take my MIL to a routine doctor appointment today and have other errands to run, so I am going to hold off on posting any photos of our vacation in WV. I just won't be able to be here much today.

Did I tell you how taken JK was with West Virginia and you and Mr. WVNan and that son and DIL and precious granddaughter of yours? Well, he was. He can't quit talking about how wonderful it was to meet you all. It was a special time for both of us. You live in a beautiful part of the country with some of the friendliest people I've ever met.

Sorry to have to leave, but I've got to run and get ready to head out of here. TTYL, dear Nan. HUGS!

[WVNan]

Kay, have a productive day. I’m doing N-O-T-H-ing. A nap and loafing, that’s the order of this day.

[Billie]

What a wonderful post, yorkie; you expressed so eloquently the feelings of most all of us who find Amy's Place such a warm and friendly and caring place to stop in and chat a while, share some pretty things, and forget about how ugly it can be in so many other places online.

As I am one who falls into the category of those who can't view the Power Point Presentations, I appreciate so much your sharing the words inside Cardhu's "Roses For You" presentation. They are indeed special and beyond beautiful. I can only admire the opening photograph you post, Cardhu, of each of your presentations, so I also do not know who Helga is, but I can say in all certainty, in reading the words reprinted on Post #1282, that she is beautiful.

Thank you both again, and once more, Amy, thank you for this place called Amy's.

Thank you, jaycee.

And here are some links for you to save and peruse sometime when you're in the mood. They titles are pretty self-explanatory - they're a few sort of 'tutorials' and then the last few are threads where some of our Finest regulars actually put together pretty table posts I used for opening threads. (I posted the threads and started each one with an introduction, but the purpose of the openings was to showcase THEIR TABLES!

Wow! That brings back memories. :-)

[Billie]

Wow! That brings back memories. :-)

It do, don't it? :) Hi, tulip! Don't see you very much anymore. Hope all's well with you.

[tuliptree76]

Hi Billie! I haven’t been around much, but things are going fine. I’ve mainly been busy with work, and I’ve had a few computer issues lately.
