Hello Pam,
I'm actually newer than you but wanted to say "Welcome". My name is actually Pam too. I picked Laurel because there are so many Pam's; didn't want to cause any confusion. Laurel is another name for a variety of tree such as the Magnolia. I'm a tree hugger...so there you go.

I was born in Oxnard but we moved to Oklahoma (where my family is originally from) when I was 9.

I envy you prune pickers about now. We're up to our ears in ice here in Okie land.

Laurel
