Hi Everyone,

Hey Meredith -- good to hear from you again and thanks for the official welcome. As you can see, I have a second home now -- right in this forum. I'm glad I stopped by. Now I'm here to stay!

Gimster -- I must say that your life is full of joy. Between the nature and 7 grandchildren, I bet your days are packed with moments of laughter, smiles, and meditative moments. You are right about them growing fast. I think it was yesterday when I held my grandson but now he's 2 1/2 and almost grown. I don't know where the time goes. I also wanted to mention that between Popea and me -- at least when we figure out how we're going to make music; why you can come and sing with us.

Lola -- what a wonderful way to stay in contact with your grandkids. A webcam helps you keep in touch with their growth and development. I'm sure it keeps you smiling too.

Popea -- you have struck a chord. If you can think of a song that I might harmonize to, or the other way around -- you're on. It'll be great to have a long-distance duo -- while we're at it, we can make our on CD for laughs and good times.

Jawjaw -- Thanks for the welcome. If I ever make it to my alma mater, I'll have to hollar at ya! I know we live in a big world but it seems mighty small when I can meet someone online 20 minutes away from my old stomping grounds. I loved it down there but I have only been back twice since I graduated. I'll get there but I just don't know when.

Saundra - it is nice to meet you. Thank you for your welcome.

Looking forward...

Pam
