Anyone up for a taste test: Dorwinian vs. Old Winyards? By the time we're done, we won't care which one won, lol. Have a fantastic weekend, Dreamdeer!

I thought I'd bring along a few treats to go with our drinks! I can't wait to go through the posts and visit with wayward sibbies and hang out with the regulars... but I especially want to thank you, Altaira, for always taking such good care of us and being such a beacon for us. You're a joy... and we're so lucky to have you and all of our Admins/Founders here to keep this place lit up. So may I have a cold Pink Lemonade so I can toast you and all of our sibs... old and new... and to celebrate TORn. Praise you all! And have a GREAT WEEKEND!!

the barbaric, dark, wild and windy northland (or Edinburgh as they call it round here ). Not doing as much fencing as I would like - the dreaded work thing is getting in the way

Hehe. I'll have to get over to Fan Art and take a look at your video. It sounds like a fun undertaking, as well as all your writing. Keep enjoying and keep healthy!

You're up in sunny (!?) Edinburgh now eh? Lovely city but bloomin' freezing. I lived in St Andrews for a year and only went on the beach once!! Hope you're enjoying it and that work is good.

I've wanted to participate in NaNoWriMo for a while, but I simply do not have the time with all the other things I want to do. I do love watching my friends going through the process, though. Good luck with the catch-up!

Just wanted to pop in for a bit before going to a meeting. A gin & tonic would be great, barkeep!

Kind of reversed, though. She started a new job in Baltimore (leaving Michigan) and took their 2 kids with her as they got established whilst hubby had to stay behind and get the house sold and look for work in Baltimore online. It was about 6 months before he left and went out there to join them. It seems like a short time given what people are going through now... but it was forever to them. BUT... I will tell you that they are 5 years later and happier than they've ever been. Both in their location and (especially) with each other. It was worth it in the long run... but getting there was nasty business. You hang in there. It'll be okay :) Things happen for a reason...
