Hi, (((Lakeside)))!

[Billie]

Hi, Lakeside. Thank *you* for your sweet post. I hope LadyX will feel the warmth of her friends here, but don't want her to feel she has to respond to each one.

Oh, Lakeside, I've missed you, and didn't hear about the trip to see your son and his wife and precious granddaughter.

As for ,

at 8 and 9 I didn't look like her, but I really DID have the huge pithecolobium tree and tree house on a platform, with thick sturdy vines for swinging down.

(It was glorious to be the only little girl in the neighborhood and not have to share the role..:))
