It's me again.

[dreamflower]

I've been enjoying trying to get the hang of this LJ thing, and now I'm up in the wee hours, sleepless again, so I'm playing around with it some more.
My DH and I had a lovely evening clelbrating our anniversary--went out to eat at a very nice restaurant that specializes in Creole food. I'm not that into spicy, but they have a salad dressing there that is out of this world, and I always get one to go with my hot roast beef po boy. Then we went to a bookstore. Unfortunately I couldn't find much in the way of a book, but did manage to get a LoTR calendar for next year.
We're keeping an eye on Ivan--looks like he might head in this direction. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Hurricanes=NO FUN!!! 8-<
I am having a blast reading everyone's comments--this is so cool!! Thanks, Marigold! ( I can't find my piece of paper with the directions for making your name thingy. It's around here somewhere...)

hello,

I'm one of Marigold's friends. Just want to say Happy anniversary!
My Mom is in Fla. and just got her electric back from the last hurricane. I hope they avoid you.
Thank you for your kindness to Marigold.

Hi! Thanks for responding!
I hope the power outage was the worst thing your mom had to deal with. They do seem to get it back on a bit more quickly nowadays than they used to. We were without for ten days after Elena, but with Georges it was only three days.
I hope we are avoided,too!
I'm having great fun with Marigold!

Welcome to LJ, Dreamflower! So glad you're here, and thanks so much from all of Marigold's friends for taking such good care of her!

Happy Anniversary! and good luck avoiding or riding out Ivan. Hopefully avoiding, lol.

You couldn't be safer! No hurricane would dare get anywhere near marigoldg. :)

If you ever have any questions about the "mechanics" of LJ, just ask! I'm sure one of us has the answer (or can find it for you).

Hello, Dreamflower! I wanted to say hello and thank you for friending me. I always forget to look at my list to see who has friended me this week but I always like to return the favor even if I am a once in a while poster/reader. I also wanted to send a wave towards Gulfport. A large part of my mother's family are in that region. We used to go from Crystal Springs (where my Grandmother lived) south to Gulfport and go west along the beach road to Mobile and Fairhope, AL then on to Pensacola, FL, visiting all the family along the way. It was quite the world tour, but I did it nearly every summer of my young life and the area is quite dear to me. I remember the first place I ever saw white sand beaches was at a place called Johnson's beach somewhere along that shore.

Well and merrily met and I hope Ivan gives you folks a miss!

Ariel

Thanks. It really is no trouble to me, but a delight. It's so much fun to have someone to talk hobbits with, and she is so nice, and her mom is a trip!

Ivan

Doesn't look right now as though there will be any avoiding, sad to say. Maybe he'll tone it down some before heading ashore.

Ivan

[dreamflower]

LOL! I hope that's true!
Thanks. I will ask if I run into a problem.

Hello to you also, Ariel! It's nice to hear from someone who knows the Gulf Coast. I was born in Mobile, and have lived almost my whole life along the Gulf Coast, so I know all those little places you are talking about.
We're hoping he'll miss, too, but it's not looking that way right now!

Ah... perhaps I should proof my own posts... I drove east from Gulfport. *sigh* Well, good thing I wasn't driving then, eh?

Hello! I'm glad to see that you joined us in this happy little community. I can honestly say that these are some of the nicest, sweetest people ever. I made you an icon, but I have no where to post it, so if you give me your email addy, as I fear I lost it (bows head in shame) I can send it to you.
Big Hugs!
Piplover

Thanks
