Hey ladies!

I've missed you all SO MUCH!! Taking a serious look at everything going on in my life and trying to get some perspective. Supporting Sebastien and his diabetes has really come to the forefront, but I think of you all often.

Here's Mr. April for your viewing pleasure and use, and I promise to be back VERY SOON!



Love you all LOTS and LOTS!!
Veronica

Veronica comes though again with another awesome calendar!! Mr. April is looking good!! There is one pic there that I have never seen before (far right). I love what you wrote, so true for Gerry's career! Thanks sweetie for sharing your calendars with us! Beautiful work! We miss you here but know that real life needs to be front and center in one's life. Pop in when you can.

Hi Gang

Kathy that photo is soooo adorable! She's just gorgeous.

Suzie I'm so glad you got to see Coriolanus. I'm still watching to see if it comes to my area. I've seen many plays and read a lot of Shakespeare and love it!

Bonnie another fabulous Hump Day siggy! Love it!

High Veronica, great new addition you posted!

Hi Roomie Sue! Only a few more weeks GF!


Hugs,
Cheryl

Hi all!

I should be working, but just wanted to check in. Is there ever a time when anyone (especially a parent) says, "Gosh! What will I ever do with all this free time?!?!?!" Didn't think so?


Kathy - the pic is one that was posted on GALS just recently... definitely one of those treasures that pop up from time to time - those are the kinds of surprises I could use every day . I know it's an older one, but I just LOVED it and had to use it!! As for the quote, it's actually something that Gerry said himself (Source: LA Confidential). I try to use his own words to make the calendars a little more personal for us all.

I'm SO LOVING all the siggies... I need to make a new one. Mine is about a year old now and it was my first kick at manipping me into a pic with Gerry. It's definitely NOT as good as the REAL THING...

The new addition to your family is BEAUTIFUL!! What a lucky little girl she is... and, how lucky you are to have her in your life


Hi EVERYONE ELSE (can't start naming, or it will never end and I'll miss someone ) - I can't believe how close the CON is... HOLY MOLY!! Time just flies... that means that my vacation time is very close too. I promise to keep in touch while I'm away. I'm still on my hubby's back about me going since it's such a long trek for us... From the East coast of Canada to the West of the US... he assures me that we will go... I say that it can't come soon enough. It's tough to build relationships without having some "facetime"

Bonnie- I CANNOT leave without commenting on youy Hump Day siggy! OMGerry!!

Suzie - I just got to see Coriolanus too thanks to Stuart who found out that it was playing in a small theatre near my home... GOD love him... I never consider that cinema and I don't think I could have waited until after vacation to see it! I totally agree with what you said... they did a great job at integrating the old english into a modern scenario... and, of course, GERRY was amazing... now, I need to see it a second time just to focus on Gerry because I got really caught up in the story.

Anyway, that's it for me... So much for a quick visit! I'll be back :-)

Ciao Belle,
Veronica :-)

Veronica...I agree, I love older pics that pop up. What you wrote did sound familiar to me as something Gerry would say. It is the perfect quote for his calendar.
Veronica, enjoy how busy you are right now because all too soon your son will grow up and you will retire and have way too much time on your hands. I like busy myself. The best years are the ones when you have children at home.

~HUGS~ Kathy

[Lady Elissa]

Love the calendar, Veronica!

Happy Easter, Siggy Piggies, from Erik and me!

[Forbes girl]

I'm seeing that yummy wallpaper of Elissa's again!! It's drool worthy!

to you too, Elissa.... AND to everyone here!! Have a wonderful Easter.

to those celebrating!

Hey ladies!!!
I've missed you all sooo much! I'm on Spring Break this week(or rather the school district I sub for is I have some good news!! The class I had to take to keep my teaching license current I have an A in and I was informed by the professor I'm exempt from the final exam!!!! The class is Educational Law and boy has it been work!! It's been so worth it though as I've learned alot

I'm loving all the beautiful arts for Easter! I was born on Easter in 1980 and have never had an Easter birthday since. Could someone make me a birthday siggy with a little Erik, Leo, Gerry K, Mike, and Milo? Any pictures and text are fine

Sue - Happy Early Birthday my friend! I can always remember yours as yours is the day after mine

Kathy - How was Florida? My mom was watching PSILY on Lifetime the other night and I had to stop and listen when Gerry explained to Holly the end of life as he knew it I adore those scenes!!

Veronica - Nice work girlfriend!

Cheryl - Love your siggy

Suzie and Buffy - How are you?

Elissa - Love the art!!

to all,
April

Hi GALS!

Just wanted to give you a quick updated on what I'm up to here in Scotland. I had a fried visit, and it was so much fun! She was game for anything! We toured Edinburgh and Edinburgh Castle, all around Glasgow, and even took a day trip up to walk and hike around Loch Lomond! The weather was gorgeous here... 60F and sunny everyday! Summer weather for here!

We also did a TWO DAY bus tour of THE HIGHLANDS! It was so great. We went up the east of Scotland and stayed overnight in Drumnadrochit on the banks of Loch Ness. When they dropped us off at our accommodation the woman who ran our hostel told us all about the town... where to eat, where to drink, and how to sneak into Urquhart Castle afterhours! She gave us directions and said "and then you hop the fence. It says private, but don't you believe it! This is Scotland, it's you're right, and we have NO trespassing laws!" You'd better believe I did it! The next day we got a private boat tour (just our bus tour group) of Loch Ness and then went down the west of Scotland, stopping for views of Ben Nevis (the highest peak in Britain) and Glen Coe.

The trip was AWESOME, and I have so much more to tell than space or time here. I highly recommend you check out my photo albums, where I discuss the sights and the trip a lot more!

Oh, and then just after my friend left, a friend who is studying here had to go back to the States, so we did lots of last minute touristy stuff before she left. We did the City Sightseeing bus tours in Edinburgh and Glasgow!

Steph - that's so great that you had a visitor... You were certainly busy, but I'm sure you had loads of fun!

Sue & April - I missed your bdays? How can that happen? I'm away far too much!

I'm heading out if town for the weekend to visit with my parents... It's a long drive but I SOOOO need this outing! Fresh sea air, but will have to watch out for polar bears :-/

The ice is here earlier than usual and the floe is bringing seals and polar bears. Something is not right... I can't remember ever hearing of so many sightings before... So, watch out for polar bears and coyotes...

Sebastien loves having his Easter egg hunt with his grandparents! :-D

I'm on mobile and can't see those gorgeous Easter siggies, though I know they're AWESOME! They always are! I will try and make one this weekend :-)

Gotta run and see what's left to pack!

Ciao Belle!
Xoxo

April....I hope you are having a wonderful day!

Steph.....those pictures are fabulous and may I say just how beautiful you are!!! If some drop dead gorgeous Scotsman doesn't scoop you up to his castle I am going to be shocked!!!

to all my siggy sisters. I'm sorry I haven't been around much lately....I'm in charge of a fundraiser that my board is holding for victims of domestic abuse and it is on April 28th and it seems everyday I have a 100 things to do....jeez, I thought I was suppose to be retired!

Anyway, I just wanted to wish all of you and Lisa, my friend.

April! Hope you are having a fun-filled day!! NO FINAL TEST!! Good for you sweetie! I am leaving Florida ( and Disney World ) April 9th for home. I will miss our pool here since it is very warm but I miss my home back in Colorado. Not that I will be there long. I will be off to Wisconsin to see my granddaughters after we get the house in order.

Veronica...You have to look out for Polar Bears? Here in Florida I look out for Alligators. In Colorado it is Black Bears and Mountain Lions. Always something, isn't it. LOL! Have a great Easter!

Steph...I know I have emailed you and posted on your FB albums but I have to repeat here. You are having a once in a lifetime experience and I am just so happy for you. Your memories of Scotland will be with you always. Every time I put my arms around Hamish, the Coo, I will think of you and your trip to Scotland!

Sue...There is no such thing as retirement. For ladies anyway. LOL! Have a wonderful Easter with your family sweetie!

Diane.. .I LOVE your siggy girl!!!! Also that cute Easter Greeting! You are so clever!

BonnieBJ...I will be home Monday. Any news on "Coriolanus" playing in Ft. Collins?

~HUGS~ Kathy

[SouthernGirl28]

Hi Kathy - Lyric's site still says "coming soon". They do, finally, have a poster of the movie! But there are several movies that are "coming soon".

Welcome back to Colorado......hopefully, the wind will have died down by Monday.

BonnieBJ

[Forbes girl]

BonnieBJ...Thanks for the info. on Coriolanus. Now I have to worry that it won't show before I leave for Wisconsin to see my granddaughters. The stress of it all! LOL! I just got this pic of Estes Park taken recently by the town. Boy, do I miss my mountains!!



Have a wonderful fun-filled day sweetie!

Hi Karin!

~HUGS~ Kathy

[BlueJean]

Kathy - beautiful picture of Estes. Thanks for posting that.

BonnieBJ

[Paisleyscot]

Hope you had a Fantastic Day GF! See you soon!


Happy B-Day April! Good to see you back!

Kathy I know you've had a great time in Florida, but it's nice to get home as well. Now that you have a home in Florida too I guess you can call them both home can't you

Steph I just viewed all of the pics you posted. WOW what a Fantastic time you're having girl! The scenery is gorgeous! Keep the pics coming, I love seeing Scotland through your eyes!

Just a quick check in for tonight and to wish you all.....

And


hugs,
Cheryl

[AbandonThought]

Thanks everyone for the compliments on my pics. You're right Kathy, this is the time of my life! I'm so lucky I've gotten to do this!

Glad your bday was good April! I want to see Titanic 3D as well... I'd better get myself to the theatre! I often say I want to see things then end up missing them. But the only 3D movie I've ever seen was HTTYD, and I'd like to see another! And call me a geek, but I do love Titanic.

Good on you for helping out with domestic abuse Sue. It's a serious problem. And happy birthday! Hope it was great!

Kathy, it's so gorgeous where you live! I'm referring to the pic of Colorado, but Florida must be gorgeous as well!

I'm going to have to do some more siggies at some point... it's been far too long! I don't think I've even made any since Gerry grew out his hair, and that was what... a year ago?! After I get done with my assignments for this term I'll have to get to work!

Steph

[Forbes girl]

I'm home!!! Just got Internet hooked up late today so I need to catch up. Everything was fine with our home. Glad to be back in the mountains. I have the best of both worlds....the mountains and the oceans.

Cheryl...My home in Colorado will always be home to me. Florida is a winter wonderland without the snow and cold. LOL!

BonnieBJ...You need to come up to Estes Park and see it for yourself. The first thing I noticed when I drove into Estes was the lack of snow in the mountains. Usually the mountains are thick with snow at this time of the year. I heard March was a dry month. Nice temps though!

Steph...I miss your siggies so please make some after you finish your assignments. Thanks again for posting your beautiful photos of Scotland. I can never see too much of that beautiful country. I live in Colorado because it is the closest I can come to the Highlands of Scotland. Although the two mountains I look at from my home at over 14,200 ft. above sea level, much taller than Ben Nevis, Britain's highest mountain at 4,406 ft, in the Highlands.

Welcome home, Miss Kathy!

[Shamrocked]

Hi everyone!

Time for a siggy change. I made this one a while back and just getting around to posting it. Gerry cracks me up every time he tells the tale of his naughty kilt!

Welcome back, new grandma Kathy! Can't wait to see more pics! You know I love the mountains too--just the east coast version.

Steph: Thanks for posting your gorgeous pics of beautiful Scotland.

hugs to all

Diane

[Forbes girl]

Thanks BonnieBJ and Diane! I'm happy to be home!

Diane...I LOVE your siggy! It put a smile on my face! I laughed when he did that. Wish I had been at the church for the event!!
