Toot away! I value your posts so much! I wish I was half as caring, considerate and emphatic as you.

Wow, thanks, everyone. You have really said lovely things and I so appreciate them.

Like I said at first.. this is such a fantastic place to be heard.

I'll certainly be around for 3,000 more posts! Why would I ever want to leave this family!?

3000 club
etc.

some day I'll make the 500 club. JdW

Congratulations to you Marguerite. At reunions we discuss many things and one of those this time was 'who would you most like to meet from VR?'

My answer = Marguerite.

Awww. Thanks!

And with that in mind, I've changed my avatar to one of our area's more popular natural sights.. Multnomah Falls. Here's a cute little site with some quick info. http://www.spectacularoregon.com/fallslakes/multnomahfalls.htm

I googled the falls and I must say, this really cracked me up...

I read in another thread that there is a plan to get together in New Orleans for a reunion in October. When I mentioned that to my husband he wondered why an event would be planned at the beginning of hurricane season? Now, here in Oregon, we're often experiencing Indian Summer in October. Not to mention, it's a wine and beer lovers paradise here....

So, any thoughts on coming west?

Again, thanks to you all for your kind words.

Marguerite

Left the possum on my other computer so I can't post it for you. I am sure Bonnie has one saved up for you, tho. Congratulations on 3000 posts.. that's a lotta writin. here's a new possum I just found...

 

[DebbyA]

Congratulations!--and keep it up. I always read your posts, and feel relieved when I see you have posted for someone who seems troubled by a situation.

Reunion in Oregon? YESSS!!!

I've cruised down your scenic Columbia River on one of the Cruise West ships and it was gorgeous. No reason why we can't come out west..

Oh, and hurricane season ends in October....it's a hot summer thang down here..

How sweet to think that Bonnie is up there keeping up with all of us! I love that notion. I'm so sure it is somehow true. She is always in our thoughts here and that keeps her present.

And, Ann, I am humbled by your honor!!!!! That possum is quite regal, Griffins and all!! What other possum is there? Could it be Possum Pie?? I googled that and found this recipe!! Sounds pretty good!

BONNIE'S POSSUM PIE
3 egg whites, beat
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
30 Ritz crackers, crushed
1 c. nuts, chopped
1 lg. Cool Whip
1 pkg. frozen coconut
Slowly add one cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla to 3 beaten egg whites. Fold in 30 Ritz crackers, crushed and 1 cup chopped nuts. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Let crust cool completely. Combine Cool Whip and coconut. Spread over crust. Refrigerate. Cook in a 9 x 12 inch baking pan.
