Gardengirl/VA's Comments

Haven't seen your name around lately.How are you.Did your heel get any better?

Regards linda H

That's very sweet of you!  Thank you so much!  I know I have most of the patterns....I think I am missing only 3 or 4.  The problem is that they are packed away somewhere and I don't have time to dig for them until I return sometime in a couple of weeks!  We are finishing one of the rooms in the basement for my sewing room but have had no extra time to finish it until after harvest.  I will be sure to get back to you when I return! xoxox

Thanks!  I really enjoyed our chat!  Keep in touch! Get well soon!

so very true!

Thank you for the reassurance. I was telling my daughter that I miss the days when I could fix anything for her with cookies. On the other hand, I'm glad I don't have to decide for my son about this--no longer my bucket to carry. I am sure he will be happier working with people than he would be on his own in a lab. And yes, there is an ongoing shortage of science teachers here, and he will be able to teach both chemistry and biology. Finding a job in a small town, his preference, should not be a problem.

Gardengirl--my DS is graduating from college in December and was planning to go to get a PhD in entomology, until he realized how little he would be teaching and how much time would be spent on research and grant writing. He is applying for a MATs program to teach biology in high school. He has been collecting and filing teaching ideas for years. He has had some experience before classrooms, tutored extensively, and absolutely loves biology. This is what he had originally wanted to do and we had discouraged him b/c of the difficulties he would face. But he is an adult, and he really has thought it through. Don't know why I'm telling you other than your being a high school teacher. I'm apprehensive, but probably I would be anyway.

Thanks Gardengirl/VA.. Love your comments. See ya on-line..Anne

Okay, small world. I just saw you comment (and fluent German!) on Milavia's page. We've had several exchange students from Wiesbaden when my sons were in HS. They, in turn, went to Wiesbaden. Any chance you would have known the Kahls? They were both Drs and hosted our youngest son when it was his turn to exchange. I've got a few Wiesbaden "artifacts"! lol

Sent! While I'm on the subject of pies, I'm trying to remember the name of a pie that probably is bake the same way as shoo-fly, but had a chocolate *bottom*. I think it might have been called something like Black Bottom (?!) pie, but for the life of me I can't recall. Ever heard of a dessert like that? ( Since I'm originally a PA girl, it might be one of those Pennsylvainia Dutch "things".) I'll ask around in my family.

Gotcha!: D

Hi, Gardengirl! I'd love to send you my Shoo-fly Pie recipe if you really want it. Do you want me to put it here or send you an e-mail through CT?

Hi gardengirl, thanks for your dear comment. Now we are already better, I talk a lot with my children about her grandmother. This helps us. I think to Christmas it becomes heavy once again.
I find a lot of distraction by quilting, now have begun with Applique. I have visited for it on the week-end a course and have my first block already almost ready. Kind regards Sylvia
You write a very good German if only my English was half as good.

Thanks for accepting, I am looking forward to getting to know you better. Glad you are joining the BookMark Swap, it should be fun!

Hello gardengirl. Thank you for the acceptance of the friendship. In the time when you have lived in Wiesbaden big layouts were in Germany going. I come from Eastern Germany and we could not leave our country till 1989. When the wall fall down, this was a big joy for us. Everywhere suddenly we could travel there. I was in 2006 with my man in New York, it was an overpowering experience.
Were you as a teacher in Germany? Your German are very god, I was surprised to be read here German words.
Kind regards
Sylvia

Hi gg, thanks so much for the encouragement and I hope to tell the same story. This gives me some hope and I appreciate it.

Hi, Garden Girl! Welcome to the ACEO group! Love you avatar: it looks just like my two oldest grandsons when they're snuggled together (not often, but adorable when they are! LOL)

Hi Gradengirl,
