Eve from So. Oregon

Change the subject, my granny came from Dumfries and I have an Auntie that still lives there.

Haven't gone back and counted, promise. I think 280.

I'll go with a nice round 250. Very rarely do I take the time to listen to You-tubes, but your Scottish music was lovely. I wish I had heard the ones earlier in the week. I hope to visit Scotland someday - it's very high on my wish list. Your photos are great. Africa is on my list, too. Also, Oregon!!! We probably won't see 50F around here until November. Dave told me where to find a map of the area where you & he live. It sounds heavenly, especially today when we were sweltering in FL (& much of the rest of the U.S., too). Have a good weekend. Enjoy the wedding, the weather, & the wildlife!

Congratulations:
Your prize is - putting up with my insanity!


Now :each of you go over the list & see how
many you remember. It may be easier to just


cross offs and subtract from 205..
Once that is determine divide by your age.

Note - the younger you are, the less you are
likely to know - or your lying about your age.

Hi Eve! Thanks for the list! I posted my list on the SA3 page. You should see all of the scraps of paper around my computer. Every time I remembered one, I would jot it down. There were 190 on my list but I did forget a couple. Check it out if you get a chance. Take care!

Thanks Eve for the birthday wishes - had a great day pretending to be a big kid! Just a bit harder to pick up all the wrapping paper.

Have a great day. x

Hi Eve, Enjoyed all the fun you created yesterday but I was a bit too busy cooking to participate.
When did you go to Africa? I recognise a lot of your phoyos as we were at the Safari Park Hotel, Amboseli, Maasai Mara, Lake Nukuru, Victoria Falls and South Africa this time last year. I am slowly trying to get some photos up but still sorting through this years trip.
(Sorry I slipped in a comment this morning as I was headed off to bed!! )
And some flowers for all the fun yeterday

Thanks Eve for the fun contest. I left my speech on Easy. On your list I scored a 3.0, but on my list it would be much higher. And that's not including my favorite shows that were after 1976! Have a great evening!

Did you put up Killiecrankie and then Bonnie Dundee by the Corries as well? If you did, sorry I missed them.

Hi Eve,
Wonderful photos of Sweetheart Abbey, took me back a lot of years to a holiday I had in hat area. And The Corries, I remember going to see them live at the City Hall in Newcastle on Tyne in the 70's when I was 18 years old. Had a wonderful time. Thanks for jogging my memory

Hi Eve - must've caught you on Youtube changeover. I started off listening to the Corries - and went back through all the clips and then found myself with Laugh-In to finish up. It was good anyway. Have a good trip, I hope your back is feeling a little better.

Just a couple of coincidences - a book I'm currently reading talks about Sweetheart Abbey, and after Brenda mentioning Newcastle-on-Tyne above - that is where my husband was born and where he is going for a visit in a few weeks time!

Hi Eve! Thank you so much for the birthday greetings! I used to post a lot more but I was 'puter-less for a couple months. Now that I'm back up and running, it's tough to jump back into the conversations. Anyways, (lifting my glass of water) Here's to two awesome people who share - a day of new beginnings, a day to thank those who make our lives more fun, and a day to play some Sudoku!
Cheers

Hi Eve- love this page and the many wonderful people/friendships it brings. Nice to find a place to stretch the mind and bring smiles to the lips. Have a wonderful day - Jayne

Hello Eve - Thank you for the Birthday wishes. I really appreciate it. I had a great day! I went to my first Rodeo. It was fun.

Your strawberry cream pie looks scrumptious! I love strawberries! I will have to try it when we get back home.

Dear Eve:
First thing I see on your page is my pie - yum. I appreciate the warm welcome wishes and the chance to interact globally. Have a lovely day -Jayne

Eve, off on holiday? Have a marvelous, pain-free time! (We leave on Friday for ours--won't a rest from it all be nice?)

I'm returning to answer your response to me on the 9th! sorry it took so long to get back to you. You asked if we had an RV; no, we don't and usually we fly from Tx to Ca then to Or and back to Tx but once we drove a rent car and stayed in Ashland at a wonderful small hotel. Someday, when time allows we will do that again and explore more of Oregon. The drive was wonderful but could have been more wonderful if we could have stayed longer.

Eve, wishing you a smooth and pain-free journey! Have a great time on your visit! Take care!

It don't get much sillier than that Eve. I haven't seen Laugh In for about a hundred years! Thanks for the chuckles.
Will be thinking of you while you are away. There is no worse time to get a bad back. I think just about everyone knows backache so if sympathy could cure, you'd be doing cartwheels right now!

and Eve, Enjoy your special day - Mary
and mmmmm boy, that pie sure looks good

Hi Eve! Just popped in to wish you a happy birthday. Hope the day is special for you! Cheers!

Hello Eve
just came to wish you a very happy birthday and your pictures are amazing .

Eve
wishing you a very happy birthday

Eve, Hope you had a special day.
Here's a little cake for later.

Eve! Hope you have a great day!

Gday Eve and a very to you. Hope you're having a good time and that your back is ok. Brought you a and some .
Unfortunately I missed the party at Ian's but I belive they were heading this way so I'm just putting out some chippies and dippies for when they get here. The bubbly is on ice and the strawberries are ready for the sousing thereof!
WOOHOO LET'S PARTY!!!

here is some for you

Eve, hope your day has been filled with much love and fun.

Have a wonderful birthday, Eve

Goodness gracious Eve--I need a nap after your message. Seemed you had every momnet filled while you were away. Which was way too long--the place was so quiet. I personally missed you.

Car trips are not the best thing for a back and then going on one when your back was hurting was very brave. I am glad it is feeling better, maybe since you are home it will take care of the rest of the kinks.

Reading the rest of your not, I felt like I was reading a page out of my own life.

My Grandmother is 80 and still goes to work each day even though she is retired and drives herself.

Mom and I have much history of butting heads. Mike, my husband, says too that we are so much alike. I disagree 100%, my mom is stubborn. Me--I just like things to go my way. See two total opposites. But we do love each other and try to tolerate each other. Thank goodness for our husbands, sister, and brothers who know when things get heated to put us in our seperate corners.

Since you have been gone school has started and the girl has built up more speed and more curiousity. Which has put me in shock that I have been allowed to type this message of welcome back to you. But of course I have spoke too soon. Please know I am happy you are safely back and forgive me for not proofreading. But I have to run quickly.

Hi, Eve! Welcome back! Sounds like you had quite an adventure. You are lucky you still have your mother - with or without her little "quirks"! My mom started to have some mini strokes in her early 80s and lost her independence. She lived with my husband and me for a couple of years, but I eventually had to place her in a nursing home after she fell down the basement stairs, breaking her collar bone. She passed away a few years ago at the age of 90. I miss her very much and would give anything to have her back - feistiness and all!!!

Welcome back, Eve! Thanks for stopping by with the report on your travels. It seems we all can identify with you and your mom. I, for one, was very happy when my mom's eye doc told her she shouldn't drive anymore. She wanted him to sign the form for her license renewal and he wouldn't do it (she was 86 at the time) She hated losing that independence, but, believe me, it was safer for her, to say nothing of the others on the road! I kept noticing dings, scrapes, and dents on her car and, of course, she "had no idea" how they got there! The time spent chauffering her around was worth it to me, and we had so much more time to argue!

Home Eve.....I had to smile as I read about your harrowing drive from 'ell...so to speak. I can relate to both your discomfort, and your Mom's wish to exert her 'independence', by not napping, and driving fast through LA...but I also know scary it is when this happens. I teach the AARP Safe Driving Course to seniors, and suggest that if she hasn't taken the course, she do so. It reminds the older folks that there comes a time when we need to choose to stop driving before its too late, and/or when we are forced to stop. In the meantime, we need to practice safe driving habits to protect ourselves and others. It also comes with an insurance discount in most states! Hope if she does take the course, she gets a good teacher! Let me know how things go when you start speaking again...lol Do visit again sometime soon. Peace.

Eve, take a long hot fragrant bath and soak that poor back of yours. What I'd give to have an intelligent arguement with my mother (she has Alzheimers), you're lucky to have your mom whole. Even though she can be a pain, cherish her. I'm glad that you gave your dog a little holiday too. You are very wise!

Oh, btw, I hope you don't mind, I took a slice of the pie! Yummy! Here's some to go with it.

Thank you for your kind words . Chen was indeed a beautiful dog. She loved to play and loved kids.We will always remember her!

Hi Eve! Glad you are safely home after your harrowing experiences with your mom driving. I meant to mention on my last visit that your dog Tipper looks very much like two dogs I had that were named Tippy. The first was a childhood pet & then later on after I was married we got another dog that looked almost the same as Tippy, so we named her Tippy II. They both had more white on them than your Tipper, but both were very sweet dogs, mutts but with a lot of border collie in them, I think.

Eve, glad you made it home safe, if not sound! That will return shortly! It's great though that your mom is still so active and has no impairments to her activities! Hope you have a great day!
