    Hi Fay and welcome to the Gazebo! Spain? Wow, a beautiful country, lucky you! How old is your Daughter?

    I'm Liz (or AnotherLiz or A'Liz since there are two Liz's here), live in West Michigan with Hubby, Kate/24 and Aron/22. The kids are attending College but home for the summer and driving me a little wacky, but it's nice having them home till August. I thrive on wacky. :Coopwink:

    I love to garden and am working on restoring my Antique House, although with the kids in school, the restoration is "on break". Yah, I know, no kids underfoot should merit working on the house, right? but want to keep funds available in case a tuition "loan from the Bank of Mom" is required. ;)

    Come in and chat, there's always something going on in the Daily Thread and we'd love to hear more from you!

    Hi Fay and welcome to the Gazebo, I'm the other Liz. :harhar: I use to live in Michigan but moved to North Carolina 5 weeks ago.

    Wow, Spain...I would love to hear about that country and your living there. What part of the UK did you live in. How old is your daughter?

    I have two stepdaughters but feel like they are mine...

    I also have 5 cats but they think they own me.

    Like A'Liz said, come join us in the Daily Thread...that's where we tend to chat every day. Liz

    Hi Fay, welcome to the Gazebo. I'm not another Liz; I'm just Dave. I bite, but not really hard. :harhar:

    You've joined a great group of people who are understanding, likable, got all kinds of ACCENTS, and great to chat and discuss with. Anyway, I like 'em and I'm sure you will, too.

    Oh, I'm married to my Hunni of many years, have all kinds of kids (2 grown sons) of all species, and live in Almost Heaven.

    Enjoy!

    Dave :y4tsearch:

    Welcome to the boards, Fay! It's nice to meet new people, especially to hear about life outside of the US. I live in New Jersey, USA, with my husband of almost 21 years and our daughter, 19. I have 2 stepkids who don't live with us as they're on their own now. My stepdaughter is getting married NEXT week in Las Vegas, Nevada. I can't believe it's next week already!

    We also have a dog, Max.

    I hope you enjoy coming in. Visiting the Daily Board is a nice way to start the day.

    Again, Welcome!

    Carol

    Almost heaven, West Virginia
    Blue ridge mountains
    Shenandoah river
    Life is old there
    Older than the trees
    Younger than the mountains
    Growin' like a breeze

    Country roads, take me home
    To the place I belong
    West Virginia, mountain momma
    Take me home, country roads

    All my memories gathered round her
    Miners lady, stranger to blue water
    Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
    Misty taste of moonshine
    Teardrops in my eye

    Country roads, take me home
    To the place I belong
    West Virginia, mountain momma
    Take me home, country roads

    I hear her voice
    In the mornin' hour she calls me
    The radio reminds me of my home far away
    And drivin' down the road I get a feelin'
    That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

    Country roads, take me home
    To the place I belong
    West Virginia, mountain momma
    Take me home, country roads

    Country roads, take me home
    To the place I belong
    West Virginia, mountain momma
    Take me home, country roads
    Take me home, now country roads
    Take me home, now country roads

    Song by John Denver

    And I love this place....though....


    Thanks. The operative word here is "little". :clapping:

    I could have said strange! LOL.

    Fay, one of the state slogans for West Virginia is "Almost Heaven" and Dave makes the most of it, LOL. Liz
