Laura needs special thoughts right now.

She and I emailed eachother last week, after I returned from recent trip.

Please keep her on your prayers list.

I've been wondering where she's been. Please tell her that she is missed. I hope that whatever is burdening her these days is soon resolved and that joy is able to enter her life again.

YAY!! Its a pond family reunion! I'm sure we all have other things to deal with, other interests that distract us from this forum. But it sure is nice when everyone occasionally pops in! Sometimes I spend time on a chicken forum, a vegetable forum, a car-fixing forum, a food preservation forum, an "I've-fallen and I can't get up" forum (health), and now I'm visiting a plumbing forum, since our pressure tank is acting up. haha I know the internet can be a bad place sometimes, but its sure great for getting educated on various things, and meeting new, good people. My stocktank ponds are fairly hidden in weeds these days! We're best at growing weeds around here! I need to learn which ones are edible. One neat thing next to my pond is that a blue lobelia has grown on its own! I'm really trying to grow things that attract butterflies........butterfly bushes, butterfly weed, conflowers, pipevine, etc., etc. (oh yeah, I spend time on the butterfly forum too). I've been sad that we didn't have but a couple frogs this year and they probably got eaten by our snakes. Thank heavens for the tree frogs that can probably stay away from the snakes. This year I finally spread out my water lilies so there was only 1 in each 300 gallon stocktank, and they're all much happier. Sort of had a weird/creepy occurrence this year. At one point this spring, we had thousands of millipedes hatch in the back yard. AAAAAACCCCCHHHH! Don't know what that means, but hope the "circle of life" takes care of them. haha Hopefully snakes like millipedes. Okay.....I've rambled too much. Can you tell I just had caffeine? haha Great to see all of you! Don't be strangers!

Some may remember me, most I would like to know

Every time I see your title, I have to laugh. I think, am in the minority, those she would not like to know? since it says "most". Welcome back! I'm Robin (female), from Nashville. I have a son who is 14, but I am mid-40s. I'm more like a doting grandparent than a parent to him since I had him after many pregnancy difficulties, and a bit later in life. I've been married three times, because I am fine at dating and flirting, but living with, I must not be so great? Nah, I'm just kidding. Who knows, I must just pour my heart into it all, even if it's wrong (for him or for me?). I've been flooded, bankrupted, foreclosed on, all within the past five years, but I am climbing out of the financial hole and back to my life of living debt free. I might even get a new car some day. If I'm really lucky. I love to cook and to garden. I'm fairly good at both, but phenomenal at neither. I've been in Nashville since the late 70s, but grew up military, which means both coasts and the south Pacific. We only came back here because my family (both mother's and father's kinfolks) has been here since Nashville has been here. Well, not on the Robertson boat, but not that much longer after. We bought our land from Andrew Jackson and even owned a portion that our state capital building sits on. Back when it was the red light district. I have been in two different professions in my life, neither of which are associated with the red light district! I love girly things and just hanging out here catching pictures of whatever people are showing me, their website of the day, craft of the day, trivia fun, or whatever else is on tap.

Oh, I've been to Hunstville a few million times. That's where my ex is from. His dad worked at Redstone, but then, who hasn't? ;) Our first date was the Wednesday before Thanksgiving 1998, in Murfreesboro, and we talked and drove, and ended the evening in Hunstville sitting in the driveway, looking at the stars. I spent the night in the guest bedroom of his parents and they woke to meet me first thing in the morning. Lovely, huh? I shoulda known then, he wasn't very good at thinking ahead. Been down HWY 231 more times than I care to remember. My favorite, bestest ever, well loved Huntsville restaruant is Ol' Heidelburg (next to the HUGE Mexican restaurant in the strip mall). Greatest pork schnitzel in hunter's sauce. Mmm. Can't recreate it still. Ah good times. Their family spent quite of time stationed in Germany and so, we've been there loads. Good carrot cake too. Here is a link that might be useful: Ol' Heidelburg

I wondered. She's been on my mind, and in my prayers. Just a feeling I had.
