Well summerized as ever Carol. Thank you !@Bambam1989
Oops, Posted it before I was finished and it would not let me edit as ran out of time: So here goes the rest of it:
Yvonne - Took in a new rescue - whose owner couldn't keep it due to their dog becoming a problem. And is waiting on estimates for fencing etc, due to the city wanting to take part of her land / driveway etc.
Linda - Went on holiday in France and had a really good time, however in the process lost her passport and had to get a new one once she was back at home. Linda is now busy with exam meetings and tries to procrastinate but at the end of the day has to get down to it and get done what needs to be done.
Lena - Is busy with school meetings, and festivals as usual. Her daughter has taken up piano lessons and Lena had to try and find a piano. Which was found luckily and is now taking pride of place in the living room. Lena also decided that she wants to learn how to play piano.
Lyn - Enjoy her long holiday but is now back at school teaching and only ends up here late at night - for me anyway. Lola still gives her a hard time though and expects to be hand fed and thoroughly spoilt.
Tod - Unfortunately lost his Father, but is managing to get by and trying to get back to normalcy. He posted a few pics and video of Snap and Murphy. He is still working in the freezers.
Sabine - recently got two Aldabra torts Ma and Mo. They are gorgeous little things and apparently have very different personalities. All her torts are doing well. Her Boyfriend is recovering from a surgery and She is not looking forward to winter at all.
Heather - had two new additions to her household. Her nephew has come to stay with her and she has a new sulcata which she adopted. The two little squirells they recued did not make it - although her eldest daughter did a steller job trying to keep them alive.
Ed - Has retired now but is still coming to terms with it and struggeling a little bit. And he scored big brownie points with his wife after the new car he bought for her.
Adam - recently had a birthday, but has not been back since he said that he did not feel like he fit in here anymore. He popped in for a few comments but other than that he has been AWOL.
Isaiah - is new and is a fire fighter who pops in every now and then to say Hi and see how we are all doing.
Anne - is also new here and has quite the funny sense of humour. She is original from the UK and misses it. She is however fitting in perfectly with the rest of us.
Mark - is still regaling us with gorgeous photos of peaceful lakes and rivers and seas etc. He Loves his kayaking and is slowly bringing over roommate to the other side (of kayaking) His Sully is gorgeous and loves the rain - which they seem to be getting rather a lot of lately. He installed a water drum to catch all the rain, the problem is that he has so much of it that he does not know what to do with it most of the time.
Kathy - has fallen in love with a little chuwawa (sorry don't know how to spell it) It's name is Uzi - It was rescued and we suspect that it was abused at some point as it has taken a long time for it to feel relaxed at her home. Uzi had to have 12 teeth taken out (poor thing).
Dan - has popped in once or twice and seems to be doing better.
Bea - is quite happy and busy. Jacques is getting much better and carrys on wrapping Bea around her paw / tail etc. But has to share her space with the ghost shrimp and some little fishies as well now. Elsa seems to be doing okay as well. And Bea has added a few more things to her bucket list.
Gillian - pops in every now and then as well and says hi.
Jane - popped in the other day as she met up with Adam while she was visiting Morocco. Apparently it is the place to go to. And lots of fun.
I think that that is everybody and I am sorry if I have left anybody out.
