Oh Happy Birthday Hal! I hope you have/had a brilliant day! Nice that you
have been able to be near family for it.
I think I remember reading that the group was set up in 1994. I only came in
about 2005 I think. This is a real community and I value it greatly, and
consider many of us to be true friends.

This post got me thinking a lot. I got started when Estela wanted a bag of
corn meal. I wonder if she remembers when that was. Over 20 years ago. I
thought this was simple. Go to the store, buy a bag of corn meal and sent
it to her. I got her two bags. Then the fun started. How to send it to
her. I was not that easy and it cost a lot more than the corn meal but I
did finally got it to her. She sent me a Fruit Cake in return. I will made
that trade any day. There were few of us at the start but this, group grew
fast. Some of us have been here for at least 20 years. There have been
great and sad posts. There was one meet and cook in northern US. Kelly made
it but I have forget who else were there. I have met up with went dining
with Kelly a few times. Always fun. I am 80 today and I think I am still
the oldest member. Who would have thought this core group would still be
here. I sure didn’t but happy we are still together. I am 99% sure that
Kelly is the only one I have met. A few of us have posted pictures of
ourselves but if I saw you on a sidewalk today I would have no idea who
were. So I suggest if we don’t do Zoom we post a current picture at least.
I will give it a try when I am back home. = Merry Christmas, Hal

Hi Hal,
You said earlier in the thread you will be with family this Christmas? Has
that changed? If so, I am sorry. ☹️ But maybe you can join in with our group
call then?
Julia, yes, really looking forward to a break. Sending Dohn to the shop for
supplies while I’m ‘working’ this morning, so I get it relatively easy. Will
make a chicken salad or something to eat on the road as I expect not much
will be open except servos, which can be awesome but are usually ugh.
And your computer fellow is useless if he doesn’t listen to you and respect
your wishes. 😐 He’s also useless if he can’t show you how to do something as
simple as installing and setting up an app, and instead allows you to
(presumably) pay him to do it. Or not, as the case may be. 😐😐😐
Vicki. :-)

Vicki,
Am so happy for you and Dohn deciding to go to the Blue Mountains. The
break away will do you the world of good.
I honestly haven’t a clue about Zoom so am no help there. Had our
“computer p/tv guy” around the other day to set us up with Zoom so Geoffrey
and I could chat while I am/ was? In Spain and he just said use Skype, it
is the same thing. That is far as we got. Talk about confused.com🤔😩. It
really would be nice to see each other, As may not be possible are any of
you on WhatsApp? Could at least try to get in touch, especially to those
alone, I.e. Kelly and Estela.
Loving your cactus lights too Steve. Here is where I went for a coffee in
our village, dark, and only 4 pm.
