B) Just trying to see if I can actually start a new subject, so you can all ignore this, or you can say something nice to me. :silly:

Now for adding a picture:

Seems to work!

[Lorchen]

Morning Lorchen, I. Think you are first to start a new topic :huh:

Lovely picture of your grandchild

[Lorchen]

Jeanie, Barb, Wendy: Waving! :kiss:

Getting used to this new site will take me ages, and I bet I'll shout for help a lot. And if I get really frustrated: I'll be in LaVeta in May and Ricky better hide if I haven't got used to everything by then. :evil: :evil: :evil:

[Lorchen]

I love, love, love my new job! :woohoo:

[Lorchen]

Just realised that I'm no longer a 'Gold Member' I have been elevated to 'Platinum'. WOW!

[twiglet]

So pleased it's working out well for you having loads of family time. Longing to see hear about your La Veta trip. Bet Ricky's trembling :lol:

[she-quilts]

Oh cuteness! How fun - these are your grandchildren I suspect.

Is your trip to LaVeta for a retreat? Oh wow... what a dream!!

[Zarah]

How on Earth did you post a photo. You said you needed long time to learn this new site. I don't believe you. Great photo :cheer: !
Ahh - more photos. You have become an expert. That's why they gave you platinum membership B)

[Lorchen]

Norma, there is such a lot I want to do and can't or can't find at the moment. Adding pictures is one of the things that's very similar to the old site. Try it!



Yes, 'she-quilts', they are my two little granddaughters (4 and 1). I retired on the 1st of October, so my daughter-in-law was able to go back to work. So, my new part-time job (2 or 3 days a week) is 'granny-in-charge'. Best decision I could have made. It's a lot of work but no more negative work-related stress. It's amazing!

I'm going to La Veta for a retreat in May with my three closest friends (all TQS members). I saved up for this trip for years, and can't wait to see if Ricky can tease out something amazing from this very average quilter.

[Reetzbobeetz]

Average? I don't think so! Beautiful grandchildren Lorchen. And if there is to be any teasing in La Veta I would bet that it will be the other way around. :lol:

[she-quilts]

Ha! Average! I'm sure you'll make something stunning and what if not... what an amazing experience!!

Darling granddaughters and what a joy that you can help out like this. I met a new friend last month and she makes 5 Year quilts with her granddaughters when they turn 5. I really want to do that... however, I'm waiting (not so patiently) for a son-in-law ............

[idaho]

Lorchen....kids are sure cute and growing fast !! Glad you are a happy grannanny !! New site is keeping us
all working just now....I have sound and all on BOM... don't understand messaging,etc. yet....sometimes i

Will have to try a pic or two.....and Thanks ! to whoever "liked" my profile photos and posted them up....think
I'd better get some new ones... :blush: :whistle: :lol:

[Lorchen]

Thanks for the confidence in my ability, Rita!

Marilyn, I like your profile picture a lot!

My most pressing wee problem: I have clicked 'accept' in my profile in order to get my friends in my profile. But nothing has happened. At the moment I presume there is some sort of delay in it happening. But if John or Bob see this: I'm starting to get just an itsy-bitsy bit grumpy and impatient.
