Snugs ..... congratulations .... you are one of FR's Finest!!

It was so much fun reading your story and becoming better acquainted.
It is always fun to discover the slight differences in our cultures.

Thank you for sharing your story with us at the Finest.

The English are our best allies and really the only ones we can depend on.

Cheers to our lady friend from England.

[RockinRight]

That was funny!

That is so pretty!

My granddaughter has been the recipient of one of Eleanor's packages. She was so thrilled.

[MEG33]

How fun for her!

Thank you Amy

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Meg.

I loved your English Garden post.

I've been looking for some pictures of The Buchardt Gardens in Vancouver Island. We were there several years ago and the gardens and statuary are wonderful.

[JustAmy]

PrissyMiss also received a couple of packages from our dear Snugs.

We have some flower seeds that we hope to get planted this weekend. Seems like the weekends are hectic and Marissa would be unhappy if she didn't get to help plant.

Thank you, Snugs, for being so thoughtful.

Hey, Snugs! This ia a great thread and I love seeing all the pictures of you and your family! Now lets have some classic Beatles music to go with it! I thought the title..."Across the Universe" was apt for all of us knowing each other from just that!

[Army Air Corps]

Hmmmmm, it seems that G-D Save the Queen or Rule Britannia would be in order...

What a great compilation of pictures and information, you two! I love your "Snugs" text in the heading, Dolly, and your picture collages are always such fun to see. Many of us know all the time and the work involved (on both parts) in doing one of these profiles, and it's so nice to get to know another one of our Finest a bit better. :)

Doubt that this is an English recipe but it reminds me of Eleanor and England. :)

Love all the pictures of you and your family, but this one especially caught my eye, and I thought it would look so sweet *framed* by itself. :)

[Billie]

Yum! That sounds so delicious!

[MEG33]

Wallflowers.. a favorite if I recall correctly..

[Billie]

Your English Garden photo is enough to make one want to get outside and dig in the dirt and just hope to see flowers like that in a few weeks!
