Welcome to the group.

Hi Knittycat,
I wanted to thank you for the blog comment and the thoughts and prayers for Kristin. She is doing better and getting stronger every day. I saw a sign in the hospital that said "Every Day Makes a Difference." I realized how true that was while at the hospital with Kristin. I was there for 10 straight days and I saw my baby go from breathing by a machine to walking out of the hospital on her own!! It was an ER nurse that was able to calm me down initially on the phone by assuring me that she would be with Kristin every step of the way until I got there...and she was. Nurses are God's Angels!!! Thanx again for the message and I hope to get to know you much better. Thanx for the compliment on my tattoos also....BTW, I just won a tattoo contest for them!!!
Hope to chat sometime with you. My email is hottie_dotty@hotmail.com if you'd like to chat. I also have Instant messenger services too. I love your outlook on life, it's a lot like mine.
Love and Hugs,
Dotty

LOVE red hair!
When you were in Desert Storm, did you wear a wig? When you say you doodle, does that mean you're an artist, too?

AHA! That's where the red hair comes from, Ireland. I am also half Irish -- the Butler side, my Dad. Are you familiary with Kilkenny Castle? That used to be the Butler Castle until 1967.
Thanks for telling me about your adventures in the garden, and the things you love to do.

Hi Knittycat! Looks like your close to me on the map! Next door almost!
Love the pictures you have posted. The red definatly looks good on you. You have the right coloring for it! I like your short hair & no hair, too. Your beautiful any way you are!
Hey- Can we say that even at our age we still have got it going on! I checked our your blogger page- you are truly an inspiration!! Nice to meet you!

Hi Marie, the horse was a 'rental' at a ranch were I stayed with my daughters up near Lake George, NY. That particular trip, we rode through the mountains...it was absolutely breathtaking. The new barn I built a few years ago is empty and probably will be until the kids' finish school (please read that as until the college bills are paid off). BTW, your pictures are amazing...

Hi Knitty, thanks for the add. I didn't realize you were a nurse. I worked in healthcare for many years so I know first hand that nurses are truly angels of mercy. Wow, from the military to the ER!

Where in Alabama do you live? We moved here a year ago from NYC (Staten Island). Do they have NAAF events around here?

Marie,
Seems like we have alot in common. I too like to crochet, (although I haven't in a few years due to nerve pain in my arm and neck), I have a black kitty that rules our house. I grew up in the Florida panhandle near Dothan, AL. Where in Al. are you? I bet we can share alot of stories about growing up with alopecia. It was not easy, and even now, I struggle at times with sharing it with others. I wish I could be more like you and go to work without my hair, but I am not there yet, and may never be. I applaud those that do though. Maybe if I looked as good as you do with or without hair I could. Your pictures are amazing. I hope we can chat sometime. Christine

hEY!!! I noticed you do not live to far from Nashville and I just wanted to stop by and tell you I am hosting a Links for Locks tournament here in the Nashville Area Friday Sept 19th and would love if you could make it!!! There are some people coming up from GA and down from KY !!! Would be awesome if you could come. It starts at 1:30 in the afternoon. Let me know if you would like some info. I am in need of golfers and maybe a few more sponsors ... if you have any connections or know of anyone who would like to play please let me know :) thanks

Ciao Carla.

I love knitters! I taught myself about 2 years ago and just tonight finished a beautiful shawl (it is getting cold here it Utah) from sock yarn. Any great knit tips or resources would be appreciated. ;)

Thanks for the resources. I will have to post pics of my projects. Today my 7 year old son asked me if I would teach him to knit. He said he wants to learn over the holiday break. How fun is that???
