Welcome from me too, Shirley. Been reading back through your interesting posts until I've ended up here again.  Hope you enjoy your time on the site and forum here. I remember Sunday roasts from years ago. My Mum was a superb cook and her chili con carne was also something else, especially when left overnight then reheated for the next day.

 I have the perfect receipe around here somewhere for you Paul, in fact this dude came out with an complete cookbook..you put inside an small square peice of foil wrap  to fold it up eventually, one piece of chicken breast, then you put an few herbs/seasonings on it, and some carrots and onions if you want, fold it up, seal, and place it on your car manifold...and go 70 MPH for 100 miles. Just don' t let them catch you....or your in trouble perhaps. Though it works good on expressways.

Hello Shirley, I live in Boston, home of Fanuiel Hall, The Cradle of Liberty as it is also known.  A great city if I say so myself.  I've never been to your neck of the woods but I hear it's beautiful.  Maybe on my next jaunt across country I'll but Oregon on the route!

'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.

Well, wolf I'm working on it, it's an little gal that swings her granny type wishing wand out to everyone and it's plugged into my documents as Abracadrabra.gif...and that's as far as I can get with it so far. Ha!  Not that I'm not asking in how to proceed on it. I am totally novice on the picture posting part of comptuers,. so maybe it was deemed necessary that I come in here so I'd learn maybe?....I am "yackety" because I've ran my own department within an business for 10 years, with an staff of five for 194 other people (nurses/patients) under me with an bookeeeper, and secretary when needed by the main office there...so talking and communicating is something I did a lot of at one time, not to mention all the kids and other jobs through the years.

 I have been to Boston before. The town I grew up in.. "Gresham" was named after your area...as was Portland at one time. Yes, Paul Revere came through on his way past Rev. Edward Duncan's Church....in your later lineage of the area he was Edward Larkin, my mother's maiden name. I went there in person to pick up some data on the lineages there. That's quite an family up in the area. You have three towns in Massachuetts that are named as to me, my sister, and the neighbor next door that I grew up with...all close to each other also. After the research work we grabbed an tour bus and went up to see Plymouth Rock and surrounding historical areas. I bough an pair of new shoes there, little did I know then that I'd end up going through an pair an week that summer on this across country  6 week vacation...in all I was here at my house the entire summer...four days.

Well, this was an test on my kid's lap top, we thought it would turn out better then it did. It was an gorgeous picture on her lap top. We had more of the ocean and sunset and not the sandy beach..the water showed up and deep royal bluish color against the orangish sunset. . For now it can work I suppose, I'm also working with someone on my granny fairy "angel" that's an moving avatar I have on another web site. Can't get any further west here in the states then the Pacific ocean.
