It's nice to be here today, from Oregon..USA!

Hello Diane, and where might you be in the states, I had some neighbors down the street one time that were Sinclair's but never really got into them until I got into Rossylin chapel and the Masonic Lodge history. I had an uncle that was an "shriner" member In California, and his sister, whom my middle name is after, was Grand worthy matron of her lodge. Her chapter was taking care of the Presient's San Clemente house, while he was in Washington D. C... when I was seeing her more often, they became "friends" in some ways over that back in those days. World traveler. She has since passed on because of age, but an fascinating person to know. One of her statements to me one time when I talked about something on the "news" was..why watch the news..if you can be out there "making it"......Hum.

Good to meet you just the same...you mean you don't have the family in line waiting to to get on the computer? You should see ir around this house some days Jo, coffee cup in hand, my daughter in-law's family has an computer shop and are fixing my grand-kid's comptuer, so they don't have to use mine to get to the "Thomas the Train" web site to sing song with them. My older grandaughter has learned "e-mail" though it's blocked because of her age, but she's alway leaving me "e-mails" these days. The other grandson, is into "games", my own kids have an lap-top, my hubby has his own at work. It sure isn't like the simple little "Commander 64 of some 30 years ago any more. It might be better, I have problems keeping up with the technology of them these days. I'm waiting for an "voice fed" computer for "copy and paste" someday, followed by an beef/cheddar melt "lunch menu"  ....smiles*

  Lyn, we have an restruant not to far away that is called "the Reflectory" it serves as its specialty Beef and Yorkshire Pudding...what can I say, it's worth the $30 a plate to dine there, though it does blows one's budget for months on end.

  Hi there, getting slowly around to answering some of the posts, no, not at all skitish about telling you that I live to the east of Portland before you get to Sandy, Oregon referred to as the "Gateway to Mt. Hood". I've been to Nevada many times.....everyone knows me here, it's impossible to be to indiscreet about myself any more....I have a lot of family that helped to build Gresham in it's early years.  I come from an famous early pioneer family also. I am well acquainted with Hillsboro, we helped to move our "Scout master" over in the area, recently, an "new"  house. I'll have to tell you some of my "escapades" in Nevada someday...maybe it should start in the weather section. I was trying to play to "mini-golf" with my hubby onetime in Reno/Tahoe area,,,when an thunderstorm came through ...they felt so bad about it they gave me an free game, I was totally embarrased too! We were all laughing though in the end...my hair sticking straight out like an porcipine from the static electricity. Gesh, I gave up "Golf" to the guys.  

   Lynn, they told me with the heart operation that I now have to "slow down" yeah, sure. So last year I packed containers for each of my three grandkids. I was throwing in my cookbooks, pots, pans, bedding, towels, dishes, novelties, comforters...they now have no problem moving right into their own apartment someday. Yeah...Ok. so much for that, next? Honestly. I think I'll go to the "Spa" for an bit...they like to put me asleep one time giving me a head an shoulder massage. I haven't felt that great since either!  

'G'Day Shirl, hope you are well, myomy can you write (or talk ) takes me ages to read all your posts.........

Still can't see any avatar ?

Have a nice day.
