I just read about this website in last night's paper and I'm SOOOO glad to have found you all!

I live in Edmonds, Washington - hubby John is from Lowell, Mass. and we have two children, Keith and Kimberlee, 24 and 21(on Monday!). We just bought a new (old) house with a pretty good view of the water - a life long dream. We have an 11 year old basset hound who we spoil too much.

Whoever thought up this website - thank you! I'd about given up on internet forums (have you visited the craigslist or yahoo forums? [Eek!] )

Hi barbc, Glad to hear you have fulfilled a long long dream of living near the water. Lots of pet owners here too. What's your basset hounds name?

Dotsie Bregel is the founder of this website...and a Godsend to us all. You can read about her on the web homepage and chat with her right here in the forums.

I have never visited any other forum. This one seems to have everything I need. You'll be happy you found us.
A warm welcome.

Welcome Barbc, I just joined a week ago and already have had some wonderful "conversations" with many members of this site. Do you get back to Mass. very often to visit with your husband's family? How did the 2 of you meet, and how did you end up in Washington? We had dinner last night with my husband's aunt and uncle and they just back from a trip to Washington and Oregon. Visited with my husband's cousin outside of Eugene, OR and then traveled around, seeing the spectacular coastline and tasting rooms of wine country. Sounds like something we would enjoy as well! Anyway, welcome aboard!

Welcome Barbc,

Sooo glad you found us. That's what I absolutely love about the internet. No other way would any of us be able to know, support, care for, or love each other without it.

BWS is the best place online to be. Welcome!

Welcome to our neighborhood Barb. I have three kids aged 17, 18 and 20. Lots going on as you can well imagine. My daughter just got in the door from work, our oldest is away at college (too far away, alomost 10 hours), and our youngest in visiting my sister in New Orleans filming a documentary for his college portfolio this weekend. Times are a changing. Ross and I just finished walking our dog three miles at the local park. There was a time we'd be out walking the kids. Not any more!

Barb, please tell us more. Jump in the other forums and begin sharing!

Hello Barb, Dotsie thought of this website. Dotsie, did you know you were in the paper in Washington?

Welcome Barb and all the other newbies!

Lenora, you confused me with your new name! Why the change?

Welcome, Barbc! You will love it here and look forward to checking in every morning like I do! It is so wonderful to share ideas with so many terrific women!

After being brought up as an Army Brat, I went to college in Boulder, CO and lived in Denver until 2 years ago - am now in SC. Culture shock, but a chenge was needed!

Looking forward to learning more about you!
