hello all. Been a very long time. I have missed you all immensely and you have never been far from my thoughts. I have been out of the loop in a lot of things in life. Sorry I have missed birthdays, Christmas and everything else. I hope y'all can forgive me for everything.
I hope y'all had a very Merry Christmas and I wish y'all a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.
Y'all take care! love, Rosemary

Oops! I forgot. My computer crashed too and I lost most of your email addresses, so sorry I have not written to any of you. Some nasty spyware got into my registry and poof! There went my pc! I had to reformat and reinstall everything...oh my goodness! What a nightmare!

hey Elly! Thanks for the welcome back. Oh my! It is a real pain isn't it when your pc crashes. I tried so hard to keep viruses and spyware away and yet I still got hit. I talked with Microsoft, my ISP and the manufactorer of my pc and they all said, it happens to everyone and just the way it is! You can only do so much to protect yourself. I still have stuff to re-install, but doing a bit at a time. Something is still not right on here and I am not sure what it is. I crash at certain times. I most likely will have to take it in and get it all cleaned out and totally start all over again. I so dread that if that happens.
I plan to stay around for the new year, so looking forward to chatting and getting caught up on what's been going on with y'all.

Hey Andi! Many thanks! I have been battling with this computer for about 3 weeks now. Just when I think things are fine, then it crashes again. So I have some problem in my hard drive that may take some professional work on. Oh well! I did my best. So if you don't hear from me, you know I crashed for good!

Fingers crossed that it will be fixed and working properly soon! Hamish is busy with work these days but I'll tell him to drop in soon.

Welcome back, Rose! What a terrible thing to happen...a computer crash! I had similar problems about a week ago. My HD broke and I lost ALL info on it; pics, articles, music etc. etc.. At least I'm back online, this is a bit of a good thing after all. Hope to see you around quite often now: A Happy New Year to you, too!

Hey Dreamy! You too? A computer crash? It is awful when you lose everything. I usually try to do backups on my pics and other stuff, but hadn't done so in a couple months. Things seem to be running fine now, so keeping my fingers crossed. I hope you are doing well. Hello Roper! How are you doing? Good to hear from you too. Glad you are enjoying the artwork. I haven't done any in a long time. I am focusing now on photography. Yes, I am still very much involved in the re-enactment groups. We do the American Revolution, French and Indian and Jacobite 1745 battles. We only do about 3-4 events a year, but I have to stay involved studying history and working on my dress which has to be absolutely 18th century correct. Have met a lot of 18th century friends as we call ourselves and having a blast. I also joined the Daughters of the American Revolution because my ancestors all fought in it and I qualified as such. Just happened to turn out that the leader of my group for that lives right across the street from me! So she and I have spent a lot of time together as we have a lot in common as well. But it was pretty hilarious to find that out when Washington DC contacted me and gave my the lady's address of who I would report to and here she was across the street! LOL Well, you all take care. Hope you had a great New Years Eve and wishing you a wonderful New Year.
