When Maxi and I were planning the Washington trip, we contacted many forum members to ask if they might be able to join us there. Unfortunately, none of the members from Florida to Maryland could meet up with us for one reason or another! That was too bad, really.

So, we content ourselves with phone calls and mailed letters when we want to be in touch.

What do you do? Calls? Mailed letters? Quick visits?

We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart?
The other heart was given to another for us to find.

wavy It's been a long time since anyone had a reason to post in here...I don't either, really, but just wanted to say
something. nooo

I have had the total joy, over the years, of meeting Mr Bill, Diane and her sister Jayhawk, JimmyV, Cindy Faye, and her Rachel and Brennan. We've kept in touch through phone calls, computer, email, and letters. Because money is a big problem, I feel so blessed! There are so many others I've often wished I could meet. It gets to be like family on here and when you get to meet someone, and even get to more than once, which I have, it isn't like meeting a stranger because you already know them. It is such a pleasure and fun.

kissie to all of those I know.

I think those of you who have actually met one another are so blessed. I would give a whole lot to meet many if not all of you that I have come to know on this forum.
My Jerusalem Cherry getting white fly was one of the luckiest things that has ever happened to me.
This forum & the people in it, are so important to me. I feel closer to may of you than I do many poeple that are here where I live.


I am not a jealous person, and am generally glad when people I know get something or are having good fortune, but I am sure envious of my sister who goes yearly up to Wisconsin for a greet & meet with a group of friends that she has in one of her "groups" (read forum sites) as she calls them.


If money were not an issue, I would be making a list of who I would meet & when---& then doing so. :wink:

And, as Diane has said, Thank God for the internet......
