Here I am!!! I'm writing this from work, where everyone has gone home (they leave at 5:00) without remembering my birthday! (The nerve of some people!!) LOL I don't feel bad about that, but I was certainly surprised. And then I logged on to the KT and found this--a very happy surprise! Thank you so much, everyone!!! The cat looks almost exactly like our Puma of years ago. Aw...... And Suzan, thanks for letting me win. I assume you're planning to continue in this generous spirit over the next day week or two, right? ;-) Susan

Yes we had a wonderful lunch in spite of the rain. Susan and I met once last summer and enjoyed each other's company so much that we decided to do it again. My husband and I were back up at our vacation place in NE PA so we were able to met up again. It must be testament to the power of the KT but we both felt like old friends. And I came away with a special souvenir. You might remember that last month Susan posted some of the photos she was displaying at her library. Well the show is over and I asked if I could purchase one of her beautiful prints. Luckily for me she still had the one I admired. It's a lovely close up of a white peony and the stamen resembles a little elf surrounded by delicate petals. It is a lovely photo and now all I have to do is decide where to hang it.

I tried to sign in with my GW info, but that didn't work at all. I was told to go to Customer Service, which I couldn't find. So I somehow ended up at the regular Houzz register/sign-in, and started over. The name Alisande was taken (by me?), so I tried other names. MANY other names. Finally found one they'd take. Registration went okay, and then they said to check my email. No email. Got a long box on my screen that said, "Please confirm your email. Check your inbox for our message. Can't find it? Click here." I clicked and checked. Clicked and checked again. Not in Inbox nor Spam folder. I can post, etc., but long box with message remains on my screen. I contacted Houzz about this, so we'll see what happens.
