Hello! I'm Debby and I've been a member for many years off and on. My previous name was Cleo199 (I think? Or just Cleo). I live in Calgary Canada and am addicted to the internet. lol

Hi!

I've been here as Pudgder for awhile... before that I don't remember what my name was. (before it went pay)

Nice to meet you!

Haaaaay!

I'm Amylou321.

I love dogs too. Well,most animals.

I live in Alabama and love the internet too!

Spanish- were you on the kitchen forums?? I seem to remember absolutely loving a kitchen with tiles that I think was yours?

Anyway, I'm Texas Gem or TG. Live in Texas, started on these boards during a kitchen remodel that just wouldn't end and ended up over here at the KT.

Yes thanks! We did an addition and a green kitchen in 2012. Stayed around since then - dropping into different topics from time to time.

Hi, Spanish, I've been floating in H&D Conversations and Building, and a little in Kitchens (I started out there, but eventually realized I'm never going to remodel a kitchen lol) and ventured to pull up a chair at the Kitchen Table from time to time, and finally found a comfortable seat so participating more.

Welcome to the KT! I certainly recognize you from Home Deco and the conversation side.

With the cross posting feature, more people are finding themselves over here. It's a good thing:)

Hello from Michigan (wrong, I’m in Florida, a snowbird), back to Michigan in March. Glad you have joined us.

Welcome to the KT!

Welcome, to KT. I live in Maryland. I started out at Kitchens during kitchen remodel, found kitchen table and spend time at Home Decorating Conversations. I am a retired teacher who subs but less and less. No pets but grandkids and grand pets. I enjoy the people here and the collective wisdom.

I stumbled across the KT this fall. It's a nice board. Started in Kitchens in 2009 when renovating, then Building a Home. Still read those daily and participate on occasion. Certainly miss many of the regulars who left with all their wisdom over the Sophie thing. I joined the Facebook group, but it's not as conducive.

Glad you introduced yourself. I used to spend a lot of time on Smaller Homes and the Building and Decorating sites. I live in right smack in the center of the original 48...in Kansas. 77 year old widowed lady whose family is my life.

Hi Spanish; welcome to the KT! I'm DawninCal - my name is Dawn and I live in California although many, many miles to the north of you.

I was a lurker here for several years before joining in on the conversation two years ago. I'm a retired school secretary with a passion for making jewelry and who loves to travel with hubby. Among my other interests, I am a mostly failed gardener, a pretty good cook, a decent photographer, kind to animals and children, lover of shoes and whose idea of a good time is a day spent hitting the thrift stores for treasures and bargains. Actually, it would be a toss-up between the thrift stores or visiting a few craft breweries and sampling the brews. ;-)

I’m Natesgram, the name got shortened during a changeover. I started out in the kitchen forum many years ago am now on my 3rd remodled kitchen, different homes. I love dogs, and I crochet blankets for preemies in the hospital. I love camping with DH. I mostly lurk but come out from time to time. Welcome from Southern California. I recognize your name too.

Howdy, Spanish, and welcome to the KT! Glad to have you here.

I'm Rusty, and I live deep in the heart of Texas. I started out quite a few years ago on the Garden Junk and Stained Glass & Mosaic forums, then wandered into the cooking forum, and from there, migrated here to the KT. Great group of people here! I still visit a number of other forums, but this is my 'regular hang-out' now. I, too, spend more time on the 'net than I should, but I blame it on all my rusty joints, mobility can be a bit of a problem now. But I have to admit, I am fascinated by and addicted to the wealth of knowledge and entertainment, that the 'net brings to our fingertips.

Hi and welcome to the table! I live in South Dakota and am originally from ND. I live in a town of about 50 people. I have a son and a daughter and 6 grandchildren and 1 GGD and 2 GGS. I am retired and I make homemade rugs and do a little crocheting. No dogs here but I have a long haired grey tabby cat.

Hi spanish. I too recognize your name. Glad you're here. I'm Yeona and I've been at gardenweb since the late 90s through its many transitions. I live in BC Canada near Vancouver. I'm married and am a mother of two adult children. I have two dogs and a cat. I frequent kitchen table because of the people and the many great conversations.

Welcome...I'm not here daily, but a couple of times a week I pop in. Hope you enjoy

it here and have a place at the Table. No animals here anymore either..but I love

them....any and all kinds.

Hi Spanish, I recognize your name from other forums. I live in central North Carolina, and have been on the old Garden Web for a very long time. I landed on the Kitchen Table after leaving a forum on a different site. I work for a lawn care company during most of the year, and during my off-season in the winter I do home improvement projects. We are currently working to get our house ready for sale, planning to drastically downsize and live on a sailboat. After almost 25 years in this house we certainly have a lot of downsizing to do!

To allow some of the male perspective, I was recruited a few years ago to sit at the table. The missus and I moved to the Gulf Coast of Florida from central Illinois about three years ago. We cruise - 85 days scheduled for 2019.

Welcome Spanish, I have been at the Table since 1999. I am just north of Pittsburgh, PA. Somewhat handicapped, spend most of my down time reading, working jigsaw puzzles and out in my yard on my scooter enjoying all the life out there. I love, love dogs, none of my own now, but have two granddogs and all the neighborhood dogs know me well and expect treats that I always carry with me when I am out and about.

Hi Spanish. I ‘know’ you from the home decorating side. Welcome here!

I’ve been on GW since around early 2000 I think when I discovered the garden design and pond forums, then the bluebird site. Participated a little in the bath forum when we reno’d our master bath a few years ago and lurked around the kitchen site. Somehow I gravitated to home decorating and then here not too long ago.

I’m a retired engineer and was a manager/director at the company I was last working at when I retired. I love gardening, exercise, hiking, reading, and DH and I travel frequently. Both of us volunteer at our local Botanical Garden and do some other volunteer work. We live in north Alabama.

Welcome! This is a fun place to spend time.

Welcome from me too :-)

Hi from Texas Gulf Coast. I am 72 yrs old, married 53 years, one daughter who lives and works in Houston. I collect old, worn out horses, raise waterlilies, and enjoy cooking. I have multiple cats and dogs, 8 horses, 4 donkeys and a mule.

Hi from Kansas City! This is a great site, nice people! I am a recently retired teacher, looking out for my 97-year-old mom. One daughter in Midland, Tx, and one here in town near me. Love animals and flower gardening. Welcome!

I too recognize your name from the Kitchen forum and Home and Decorating.

Welcome.

Hello and welcome. As my name shows, I am Linda (called Linners by all of my friends) who used to live in Ohio before moving to Georgia 16 years ago. Hubby and I are "old" folks, still kicking, but not very high. LOL Retired of course. We love animals and we rescued two little all black kitten brothers who are the loves of our lives. I'm a paper crafter and love making cards.

mobile,al then Bmont, tx now in west NM.

Welcome.

Hi Spanish!

I think I’ve seen you a couple times on the other forums. Glad to see you here!

I don’t remember what my original account was. I was a member since 2010 and then I stopped going on here after moving to Tennessee and then to Arizona. I think 2015 was the last time I went on my old account, so I don’t remember what the user was.

Im also addicted to the internet, i love to cook and I’m obsessed with traveling!

Welcome!!

Hello and a BIG Welcome to you Spanish!

Hi Spanish. I lurked over in grieving for awhile and then I ventured over here to the KT. I enjoy the various topics and views even though things can get a little heated at times. Always enjoy new people adding a different perspective, so welcome.

Hey Spanish and welcome to you! While a formal introduction is certainly not compulsory on these forums, it’s always appreciated. I’m pretty sure I wrote one...maybe. ;)

Hi Spanish

I am Moni. Originally from Germany, but live in Oklahoma since 1972. I love bicycle traveling, gardening, cooking, knitting and spending time with my grand kids. I have two adult kids, but no pets due to allergies, besides, I am gone someplace almost every summer.

Usually i journal during my travels, and they are located here:

So glad to see you on the KT side Spanish! Welcome!

Hello and welcome Spanish. I'm Kathy from South Central PA. You're gonna love it here!

1929Spanish, welcome. Nice to see you in the KT.

feathers11, welcome to you, too.

Welcome, Spanish. I enjoyed the pictures you shared on the other thread.

Feathers, welcome to you, too. We love pics, hope you'll share some of your feather collection.

Hi Spanish! I also remember your name from earlier posts. I used to just read, then I joined, and now I participate. I have learned so many things from reading here - from how to do our laundry to current events.

My DH & Golden Retriever/service dog live on the coast of Maine. We are retired, belong to a service organization and have many things we love to do in our spare time.

A big hearty welcome from Williamsburg, Va. I, too, love dogs and cooking. Not so much traveling anymore. Glad I did it when I was younger and it was much more pleasant (getting to and from) than it is today. :-)))

Hi Spanish! I'd love to see pics of your house!!

Welcome Feathers, as well.

I found the Table in 2007. I had a question about bread-making in a bread maker. I couldn't believe how fast people responded! From then on I was hooked. The bread maker was a short-lived novelty, I prefer making it by hand.

This is a great place to hang out, with fantastic people. I hang out here and at the Cooking Forum. I couldn't imagine if something happened To GW and lose everyone.

Welcome, Spanish! I'm a western MA denizen trying to start up a farmstead, and loving to cook.

What a lovely welcome! Thanks everyone.

Thanks for starting this 1929Spanish and letting me ride your coattails.

Ali, my feathers collection isn't that impressive to share actually but does involve a good story. A while back we hosted a neighborhood party where guests BYO drinks and there was a pretty little glass left on our porch that I found the next day. I posted a photo of it to our neighborhood facebook page so I could return it to its owner. No one responded so I put it on the desk in my office. Since then whenever I find a feather on my outings, I put them in this glass. It's got a few dozen feathers in it now so I may need to throw another party to get another glass.

Feathers, now I really want to see your feathers in a glass. lol

Here you go, Ali! It doesn't look full but there are a bunch in there. Whenever I need new glassware, I'm going to hunt for a set like this one. Sorry for the bad photo quality

That is a nice glass....looks kind of like a jar or vase. Thanks for the pic.
