YIPPEEEEEE I'm soooo excited! I'll email you, DOtsie with all the info. At one point Edelweiss had asked me about a meeting when she came to MA. Who knows.....maybe it can work!

Move over northbounders... I'm heading for Maine... wish I could be saying that as fact. I would absolutely love to meet EW, in person. I hope you all do get to meet up and, if you do, have a good time!!!

It would be great if she'd come out to Wild West Cali but I do understand time and money constraints. And if she stayed with Kathy, I'd just invite myself over.

Not only that, but she tried to call the house and couldn't get through. [censored] may have been on the phone and not heard the call waiting, not that he uses it. But, he did say he got a couple of strange calls yesterday. It didn't even register with me. Maybe she called then. He said they asked for someone he didn't know and when he said there was no one here by that name, they hung up. I told him if someone named Edelweiss calls for Louisa, not to hang up. Not sure he would have remembered that. He probably thought I was joking. LOL I'm going to call her tomorrow after work and get it set up. If we meet here, I will have my daughter bring Katie so the kids can meet too. Oh, I'll take pictures. Now all I have to do is figure out how to get them on here. If I can still do them in the email, I'll do that. dancer, I love my iPhone so far. It's the greatest thing. I have my email on it. It's an ipod too. The technology is incredible. I love the screen and the keyboard. Taking pictures and transferring pictures and looking at them is fun. I've been wanting this phone for a long time. This new one is amazing. You barely touch the thing and it calls the number. I was waiting for my contract to end in case I decided to switch carriers, but then I decided I had to get it. All the young girls at work are so jealous They want one. I think I'm the first one in the building to get one so I've been showing everyone.

Oh, I so hope you three can figure it out!!! I'm sending LJ and Louisa a bunch of thinking energy. This is a chance that might not be repeated.

I know! I know! I'll be seriously bummed if it can't be figured out but the reality is that I just can't make that kind of trip on short notice with my work schedule. Wish we were all a little closer in area than we are.

Not a problem, Louisa. Did you see JJ's instructions for posting images in forums other than the Photo Gallery?

Here you go... Link to Post telling you how to post an image The Photo Gallery is still not working for me. I'm not submitting my posts... I compose them, then preview, but no image appears. My first image attempts worked. Don't know what happened, since.

They look like sisters! It's amazing how much alike they look. Maybe they should each take a DNA test. Maybe they were separated at birth, and this is the universe bringing them together, via BWS. What cute pictures of children! I want to meet another boomer sister!

Hi everybody! Is it ever good to be back! One of the highlights of our trip was visiting Louisa and her husband. See that table on the left of the picture? That is a great bar...with loads of yummy Hors d'Å“uvres and drinks. Their lovely apartment is in a dream location; right on a beautiful harbour, with a view over to the Boston sky line. We felt like we knew each other for ages. Everything was so relaxed. Our husbands hit it off too, talking about baseball. Thank you Louisa for a lovely time, and I hope I can do the same for you someday! By the way, on the way home we chose the beach drive. Wow, it was just beautiful. Louisa lives so close to beautiful sandy beaches as well. I would be out there every day. Louisa looks like she's singing, doesn't she? So dear...was that really just coke you were drinking? hee hee

OMG ... EW... this is sooooo spooky. YOU look just LIKE my older sister in this picture!!!!! I'm not exaggerating. In other pictures, which you've included in Christmas cards and posted on the forums, I've noticed a resemblance, but in this photo, you look JUST EXACTLY like her.... in fact, had I seen this picture not knowing what and who was in it, I'd ask why is she sitting between two other men - would I call her DH? probably. I'm going to go through my albums and see if I can find something for you to compare it to.

This is too funny...There is someone else on this planet who's mouth is as big as mine?!! God bless her. Can she put her fist in it? I can..., and heaven knows I've put my foot in it ( way too many times!) Haha.. now wouldn't that make an interesting picture?

I don't believe I've ever seen her put her fist in her mouth, but I bet she could. She was one of the few of us girls (5 sisters, plus me) that have piano hands...long fingers, which makes a bigger fist. She's a beautiful person, inside and out... she is the only sister older than me. And, she's the one, as I've mentioned before, who has had close to ten open heart surgeries - her first when she was 19 yrs old. Who of us doesn't put our 'foot in mouth?' Not that I want to compare the notches on our belts, but I think I'd be close to winning.
