Hello Kearon:
It was great to find a fellow Oregonian and here you are up and moving clear across country. I just found you. Welcome. There is no distance with friends and of course with this website....So, we have the MS in common, I would love to talk to you about that to....Janie

Hey, Janie! I went to grade school in Westminster, oh, about a hundred years ago. I remember the strawberry and boysenberry fields. There was a dairy down the block, and the country's smallest elephant , a cute little baby, several doors down from us. We had a duck that used to follow us around. We lived in a housing tract, not on the farm!! But, we were surrounded by country things. It was a great place to grow up. Then we moved to Anaheim, lived 5 miles from Disneyland in the middle of an orange grove. Back then you could get in free after 5pm. Things are sure different now.

Hello Jainie! I would like to hear from you too. Isn't this website great?I am not sure if will work, but you might find my email address on my profile page.
Kearon :wink: :-)

Norah, this is crazy. I went to elementary school, Jr. High and high school in Westminster. We still have a house there that my parents own. Do you know Sequoia Elementary? Johnson Jr. High School and of course, WHS? We lived near a bean field that is now a Taco Bell and a supermarket. We used to lay on our patio roof on Summer nights and watch the fireworks from Disneyland, and I remember when we road the Merry Go Round at Knotts Berry Farm and there was no fence and no admission....Are we the same age?

Janie, I'm 57. I remember all of that about the fireworks and the merry go round. I wnet to Trask Ave Elementary School. Moved before I got to the others. My best friend in the whole world still lives there. Her name is Maxine. We had a Twin Oaks phone number back then. Not all numbers like now. I miss those days. I am the one suggesting the "run" if you hadn't made the connection.

Hey Janie, I have a couple of patterns of The Cotton Thory and I love them. They are easier to handle because you don't have to deal with a big quilt all at once. You sew them and quilt them, then put them together. They are sometimes called reversable quilts. They do go together a little faster. I found some websites and will send you some info. My email is [email protected] if you would like to trade info on the MS.

Kearon,
Yes, thanks for the email. Mine is on my profile. But it has been a pretty hard day for me, coming back slow from junk this weekend...but I will email in the a.m. and will try to get a decent communication going between us...and if you suggested the "run", tell me where to sign up....I hope we don't let this idea get lost in the shuffle... Oh and BTY, I know right where Trask Elementary is, used to have to walk past it everyday...small, small world....till later, Janie

Hi Janie, I think some of the posts are getting mixed up. I know nothing about this task thing and I keep getting emails about replies being poated for me. Don't know what is up. :roll: :lol:

Kearon - I finally figured out that the replies we get notified about aren't necessarily replies to our posts - just means that there is a NEW post on this string! :D Also, way down at the bottom of the page, left hand side, is a little pair of binoculars & the note "Unwatch this topic (this enables/disables e-mail notifications) ". If you click on that, you won't get anymore emails about the new posts for this string. 8)
