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.
Well summerized as ever Carol. Thank you !:):)

I can’t imagine being without all of mine... I will be excited to watch you grow once your moved:)) & if it does work out that you come back this way, we should make it a point to ride. My two have been in relaxation mode for a year now and would probably enjoy the outing. Might be a handful though:) I had a girlfriend that I used to ride with a lot and she moved to Missouri:-(. There’s not many horse people anymore.. as for the Jiggly palomino.... more cushion for the Tush:))) I’m getting too old for any serious riding anymore[emoji23]
You`ll get never to old to ride. When I was 12 years old and learned riding on a horse there was an old lady. She came to the stable every week and was riding a very calm and sure horse for an hour every week. She always was accompanied by the riding teacher. I don`t know how old the lady was but she was surely over 70 years old. Her fingers and lips where always a little bit blue because of a weak heart and she uses a 3 stair stairway to get in the saddle. But she rides !:)
So tell me not you are too old for riding a horse Heather.:D

Hi, Roomies!
I just wanted to check in to say I'm probably going to take a break from the Internet in general for a little while. We are all fine, just sometimes Life needs readjusting in some areas and priorities shift a bit.
This forum has been such a big part of my life that I will likely "lurk" from time to time, but will not be back on regularly for a bit.
Hugs to all! :<3:

I totally understand, Bea. For a while a couple years ago I was so addicted to the Forum that I let my daily chores slide just so I could sit here and talk to you all and read about your lives. I had to totally turn off the computer and not use it at all for about a month. Now I limit myself to reading the new posts and answering a few, and taking care of my moderator duties, with a bit of dialog in the CDR, but that's it. We're still here any time you feel comfortable enough to come back. And we'll miss you.

What ? You bought that movie because I posted the song ? That is amazing.:):):)

Lol... I actually bought the movie a couple days ago.. that one and “woody woodpecker” ... the rain had me looking for indoor activities for my son... it was ironic that we were both thinking of Judy Garland though:)

@Maro2Bear It's been a couple months for my hibiscus clippings do you think I should plant them in the ground now?

Yep, i sure would, especially down there in Georgia (even here). It’s the best time really, temperatures are cooler, sun less harsh, more water, plants grow roots instead of vegetation. Good luck.

No final decision yet, all the jobs have given hubby at least a month to decide which surprised me. In fact, hubby has an interview with ANOTHER company on Tuesday! This one is in Montana[emoji33]
I would prefer one in Texas though.
I'm hoping for the move to happen in early spring, but it may happen even sooner.
I won't be doing any hunting this year, a license is just so expensive here and we are trying to keep our fridge and freezer lightly stocked until after we move. Although I have plenty of deer and even elk passing through my tiny pasture regularly.

Montana would be awesome!!
There are people leaving Ca and heading to Montana.

My friend and her family have been looking up there and trying to decide what’s best for their family and everyone is telling them to go.

Hmmm, renovations are never easy, and you seem to be having them the whole time that I have known you. Good luck on the commissioned piece. If you are allowed to please share with us the finished product. I love seeing your work.
I'm just fixing to finish up with a pastel painting. It should be done in a day or two as long as I can get time to work on it. It's a little different than what I normally do. I'll be sure to share a picture.
Looks like my art room is going to have to be repainted. Moved a box that was sitting in a corner under the table this morning and the wall is covered in black mold! None on the box itself, just the wall. That means I'm going to have to move my beast of a drafting table out of there(it's the heaviest thing in there). Another thing to add to the "to do" list.

I'm so out of shape and practice it will be a while before I'm ready for the hardcore riding[emoji28]. I see quite a few sore muscles in my future

Enjoy your break from the internet. It's probably a very healthy thing to do on occasion. We will miss you though!
