Wonderful, wonderful photos! Everyone looks so happy! It really is a great looking group! It's amazing to see just who it is that has such a love for bulbs! I wish we weren't quite so spread out all over the globe... it would be awesome to have a weekend get-together, to meet and trade bulbs or seeds, and stories... that would be so much fun! The tattoo on my back, shoulder is a custom dreamcatcher... my husband actually designed it... it has lots of symbols in it... my 3 kids, the path of my life, a watchful eye, and lots more that I can't remember at the moment... all my ink is custom, done by Laughin' Larry of Allentown, PA. He comes to visit every once in a while, and we always get ink when he's here. Our wedding and reception was at the local Sportsman's Club, hence the deer... my kids are lighting candles as part of a candle ceremony to include them. I wanted them to know that they were part of the marriage, the whole family. The hall rental was a gift from a dear friend. I made as much of the wedding items as I could, to save cash! Our wedding was really reasonably priced, considering! Yes, 2000 was a great year! I have more to write, but I'm running late today... I'll check in later!

Here is the list thru 121 in alpha ordeer. I didn't edit it just sorted it it might be easier to check to see if you are on it.

Max is a beauty. I know he will be sadly missed. All the pets here are obviously loved! I am pet-less at the moment, but here is my "step granddaughter". Her name is Kylie and she is now my son's dog. She was rescued by my son's girlfriend, who sadly died tragically this year. Kylie was with her at her death, lying loyally at her side, waiting for Search & Rescue to arrive. Long, sad story and I don't want to repeat it here. Now Kylie belongs to my son, who she had always regarded as her "co-owner." She's a good girl.

Ok, I will stick me in here. I am 66, married for 48 years to my hero. We have a daughter 47, and lost a daughter suddenly 15 months ago. Slowly, we are coming out of the fog that put us in and I can see the light at the end of this tunnel. Remembering the happy times we had with her are slowly taking over the deep sadness. Over the years, I have worked at an answering service, a custom decorator at Sears and as a wig, bra and breast prosthesis fitter in a boutique for the hard to fit woman. What a fun and rewarding job. Women in crisis are a strong and inspiring group. We retired back home to Pennsylvania 9 years ago after 32 years in Ohio and Michigan. Settled about 35 miles north of Pittsburgh to be near family. Daughter is 7 miles away. My life revolves around her and the grand dog, Dh and my home. I love gardening and spend most daylight hours in my yard tending my flowers and shrubs when the weather is fit. In winter, I sew, work on jigsaw puzzles, and dust my hundreds of animal and bird figurines! I am very fond of all living creatures to say the least. I am somewhat handicapped, having been diagnosed with Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy at age 17. I am extremely fortunate that I can still walk a little after all these years. I use a cane for very short distances and a walker or a scooter when out of the house. I have been enjoying the KT since shortly after it started. I don't post a great deal, but come here to keep up with all the goings on several times a day. I laugh and cry with you all and am so greatful for the support that has been given me when I needed it. This is a wonderful place to bring your sorrows or ask for advice...and to share your joys.
