You've entered our realm on the tail end of another new joiner, and I'm afraid your welcome may have gotten lost in the shuffle. Here's what Kristoff posted to that other new member. It applies to you to:

"You’re very welcome here! Grab an armadillo to sit on. One-Legged Pirate should be over shortly with a beverage of your choice. Unless he’s working overtime in our bar, The Drunken Penguin. Speaking of penguins, we have two — Silly and Willy. Be nice to them, because @Bee62 can be very protective of them. Don’t worry if you run into the Snow Leopard — she only eats carrots. The only scary thing around here is the Wool Spider (if she exists). But do try not to step on a hedgehog in the dark, and prod the jellyfish if you need more light. Btw, I'm Lena, as of now -- in Canada."

This is a great place to familiarize ourselves with other cultures and to see pictures (post cards) of other countries as our member travel around. Please feel free to join in the fun and share with us.

Adrien has been around since I was on holiday in France.... aaaages! :D

My dear Bea. I think you mentioned that you like the song "You raise me up" from Josh Groban.
Please listen to my version that I sung for you. I am thinking of you, hoping you are fine. The actual calender sheet of the tortoise calender reminds me of you and Jaques. RIP little mud turtle soul.
Here is "You raise me up" for you Bea.:)


Wow! I love that Sabine :) [emoji177]

Oh, Bee, BEE!!!!! That was so beautiful!!! It brought tears of joy to my eyes!!!:<3::<3::<3:
I especially needed to hear that lately- I have been very sick off and on since early June. My new problem is an uncommon type of asthma that is very difficult to control. I had so much trouble trying to breathe that I had to stay a day in the hospital; they've made lots of medication changes etc. i can breathe ok if I don't do a lot, but talking causes coughing and shortness of breath. I know this is very new, and my doctors will get it under control soon, but l get very down sometimes.
And I was very down today, but your WONDERFUL voice and your amazing voice control and expression in this song really did lift me up!!

Thank you, my friend- THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! :):<3::<3::<3:
(i will be listening to you sing this several more times!!!! What a truly beautiful voice!!!...But I think it just matches your beautiful HEART!!! :):<3: )

Sorry to hear you’ve been unwell Bea. Electronic hugs and a mug of restorative English tea from over the Atlantic. (We Brits swear by tea to solve pretty much any problem [emoji6])

You need to go here again! :p
Too many turtles places to visit! :)

Well we have trips planned for December, June and August... We live very close to the Channel Tunnel, France is closer than most of the UK, so pop over frequently for a cheese and wine fix [emoji1]

Happy Wednesday all! Good news, the fruit on our Persimmon tree is in the final stages of ripening. The fruit is now quickly changing from yellowish to wonderful glossy reddish/orange orbs. And tasty! Last year we had too much rain that caused all the fruit to drop. This year, the deer decided to rip a branch or two off. We are still in a drought, but some fruit has survived.

We’re planning a short kayaking trip for next werk on the shores of a creek that feeds the Chesapeake Bay. The cool thing is that if we are lucky, we just might find some shark teeth fossils. For some reason this area is full of fossil.

Heres a pix of one found by my friend earlier this week.

My dear Bea, I am so sorry to hear that you are not well. I hope your doctor can help you soon. I only can imagine that it is very hard when you cannot breathe as much as needed. All best wishes, electronic hugs and good vibrations I am sending to you.
Was it coincidence that I thought of you and what song you like ? But no matter, I am happy to make you happy. That`s what counts.
Get well soon.

Sabine

Yes I've wondered about that too. I'm allowed by Ohio law to do that...and I've hammered nail holes in the lids of many old paint cans that were already here. They are still sitting here. I think California is more environmentally conscious though so...many times I base a decision I make on their laws not Ohio's. The chemicals are a whole different story. It's crazy that this planet keeps producing things that probably can't be thrown away. Even some of the newer lightbulbs if broken in your home could be hazardous...
Well as a former Ohio resident I think be a little envornmentally concious is not a bad thing since I do remember the Cuyahoga River catching fire- A RIVER caught fire HMMM. Fortunately in Richmond or Public Works does do a few thing right and a hazardous chemical reclamation site is IT! Even oils and differential fluids

Good evening friends. Summer is gone in Germany and fading slowly into autumn. Days are still sunny but nights are cold. 6,2 C means 43,52 F. That`s really cold.... Brrrrrrrr...
Tomorrow I will get fire wood for the next winter and oil for the central heating is ordered and will be delivered soon.
Where have all the days are gone ? All the weeks and months ? Time is running so fast. Too fast....
But when its cold and rainy outside I have more times to stay in the Cold Dark Room when you all still want me. ;) A "lost" roommate will come home like a stray dog.:oops:
I will be happy to come home.:)
The weather is turning cold here too. This a.m. when I took Misty out for her constitutional I had to wear my bathrobe!
