Thanks for the history of the FR site; that was interesting to learn. In 1996, when FR was born, I was working in Saigon, Vietnam; I returned to the US in 1997 and found FR about a year after that. I’ve loved it ever since although, being outspoken, I’ve found a need to change my screen name a couple of times.
Have a great tomorrow and thanks again!

From one of those 287 CT FR posters, I just want to say THANK-YOU! =^..^=

Good morning, Billie - great thread and Pledge!
Billie, how beautiful all of the openings were. There is so much to read and go through and I won’t be able to do it all today but bet its incredible. The Pledge is different and outstanding and the Pound Cake sounds like something I would like to try sometimes.
Just a note, I have been under the weather a day over a week. Finished antibiotics yesterday...have felt like a wrung out dishrag. Started with sinus infection then flu-like symptoms of aching all over. All of the glorious wedding rehearsal and wedding took place Friday and Saturday. I slept about 4 hours in the mornings so I could attend everything. I am prejudiced because it was my granddaughter getting married but this being a Christmas evening wedding, it was the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen........the wedding reception was at a Holiday Inn on Interstate 81 and it was wonderful. Over 250 people attended the wedding and reception. Had a great disc jockey and I managed to have a most enjoyable time (sick and all). Lots of dancing, eating, chatting, just fun for all. The couple were just so lovely. Their honeymoon won’t start until the 15th because my granddaughter still has some classes to attend. They both went to work on Monday but still have a nice trip to look forward to. Sorry this is long...just wanted everyone to know where I had been so long.
Please Feel Better Soon, jaycee and Meg; I had Missed Seeing your Posts, jaycee, and am Glad you are Back.

Billie, I took a closer look at those beautiful homes. Loved that Mark Twain home........so relaxing looking and all the ponds are so attractive.
With the time I had tonight, I got the recipes for the Pot Roast and the Pound Cake in a 3 by 5 size. All I have to do is paste on my cards.
