Just a quick note to say hi! I was thinking about your handle? Just for kicks you should have made it Ma_Kettle! lol I'm sure you probably get teased about that all the time being from the Ozarks. lol I would think it to be a compliment because that was an honest descent show that was great! Unlike the trash these days. Anyhow, talk to you later!

i just noticed you're in the Ozarks. Is that anything like the Catskills? You've got to love those older mountain ranges. Those young 'uns like the Rockys are just to darned uppity!!! Young wippersnappers...:->

Just a quick note to say hi! Wondering what's going on in the Ozarks! lol

I've added 3 pics to my profile here. Just click on photos and you will see them. Took them one day when out walking the hills of Howth / Sutton. Scenic place. Might give you that full blown Green Impression of Ireland. Enjoy.

Just a quick note to say hi! Havn't talked to you lately... hope all is well with you... keep in touch Karen

I'm as Irish as they come. Born and raised in the rain of Dublin. All we ever seem to get over here. Is raining as I write this. So what part of the Emerald Isle does your family roots come from?

Thank you for your gift of writing from your heart. True treasures shared with all. :o)

Just a quick note to say hi! I enjoyed your first journal entry, but I am so sorry for your problems. You have a wonderful attitude and love for life. I understand somewhat about what you have been through. I had a liver transplant in 2006. That was my gift of life...second gift of life. Big hugs to you!! Kande
