Hello all!

Thank you for the new forum Lora! A quick hello from Hizladybug, Monika. Love this idea! Will have to come back later and visit and spend time with you all.

Looking forward to "meeting" you all. Winter is now thawing and Spring is peaking out from behind the mountains. I am looking forward to gardening soon. Married with 2 grown sons we have homeschooled and 5 grandchildren under 6.

I've always marveled at how well you keep things together. So glad to see you here! This'll be fun!  

I don't "feel" like it.   But I guess Jesus stiil has more for me to do here   
It will be fun!

Lovely to meet you, Monika. As your winter thaws, our summer fades. Time to drag out the winter warmies!

We never got a winter over here in California. Some of us are feeling a little cheated, but grateful we didn't suffer like the rest of the country.      

Welcome Kiwi.   
I love the change of seasons. Ready to get rid of winter here you can have it for awhile. 

Lora I grew up in S Ca and loved the beach but I did not like the heat and dry brown everything. 
Heaven will be nice ALL the time  

By S California standards, we only got chilly for a couple of weeks, and the rest of the time it's been in the 70s and 80s, some places even the 90s. It's been like summer here. Yuck! Now we'll probably have an unusually hot summer. I'm with you Monika, I don't really like the heat either. I've got enough sun wrinkles   

Hi there Lora and gang, thankyou for creating this new place  and I look forward to posting, sharing, etc. I still enjoy the CCW site as well :)

Hello!  I'm Deanna, and also from southern California.  I'm married, have 4 grown and married "children" and 15 beautiful grandchildren!  God has blessed us richly!!

Hello CreativePurple and Deannaj, I'm so glad you're joining us. I look forward to having some great discussions with you two. 
Maybe CreativePurple will even share with us how she came to be a such an awesome poet.

I've always loved poetry as far as I can recall, used to copy certain phrases out of greeting cards when I'd make cards then add my own lines  and it took off from there. I hope to at some point in my lifetime publish a book :)  I do have a poetry site with some stuff on it!

Feel free to share your site with us in the Businesses, Books, & Websites thread. I'm sure there's a few people who would love to visit it, CreativePurple!
