Heyyyyyyy everyone

[Nancy Radlinger]

I thought this would be the fastest way to let you all know that I am alive and sorry I have not been around much but with all the sites that I have now - sure is not enough hours in the day anymore.

Just wanted to highlight some things in my life and the first is that patience has paid off - 3 years ago - we had a hail storm come thru and alot of houses were damages from the hail - my ex's mother house was one of them - well what happened is that her siding was the same color as my house - so a g/f and I hauled the old stuff over to my house - instead of it going to the dump - well....................it finally happened - I have a barn on my property and had some of the old cork board siding - well - you guessed it - I now have a maintenance free barn - the old siding was taken off and this old siding from my ex's mom's house was put on - I'll be adding the pics as soon so that you can see.

Well, am working on other outside chores as planting more perennials, stacking firewood and even re-doing the gift shop - giving it a new coat of paint, new shelves - getting it ready for the holiday season.

Speaking of patience, the gift shop finally had visitors this year - yeahhhhhhhhhhh - with the econmony I am soooooooooooo blessed. I also got the right permits from my township - and I don't have to be seasonal anymore - I can be opened year-round. Now not sure if that is good thing yet or not - will let you know soon.

Also, many of you know that I have been expanding my sites on the net and again after lot of hard work and patience - they are starting to take off - I remember when I started with ONE member and now on Hummingbird Hits (my first TE) I'm over 700 members now - yeahhhhhhhhhhh - Again, I sure have been blessed.

Despite my lack of attendance on here also, we have grown here also - and Connie has just been an angel and sure has helped me sooooooooooooooooo much. As many of you know Nettie is now helping Connie and I would like to thank all of you for keeping in touch and still being members - I for one know that there are never enough hours in the day but...................again I have been blessed with soooooooooooo many friends here and I thank you.

With the winter months coming up, you will see me more as I hibernate then. Take care everyone and BIG ((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))
