our mutual - sweet friend - mrs. mac, has invited me to join your merry band of sisters ... thank you for the honour ... *smile*
notice "honour" is spelt a wee bit differently ... that's 'cause i'm a canadian gal (born in finland) and we keep to the british way of spelling certain words ... though spelling is not my strong suit!
i live in southern manitoba (cottage country) ...
i've been married to my sweetie for 36 years now ...
our life is a little out of the ordinary in that my husband leo, has lived with chronic, disabling, back pain for 27 years (2 failed back surgeries, plus the hospital stays, etc etc) - he was forced to take an early retirement ... without our faith in God, i truly don't think we could have survived some of the upheavel chronic pain brings with it ...
i've been blogging for almost 6 years now (www.saija.blogspot.com) ... unfortunately the last 2 years has been sporadic posting only! - but i've made such good friends through this way of communicating, that i don't want to stop blogging ... AND just a few weeks ago, i had my very first face to face encounter with one of my blogging buds ...
just a brief intro ... i'm looking forward to whatever mrs. mac has up her sleave for the sisterhood of the travelling scarf this year ... blessings on your week!

Let me be the first sister to
welcome you, Saija. I hope you
will be made to feel as welcome
as I have recently been. Look
forward to getting to know you!
Blessings,
Sandy
(I will keep your husband in
my prayers, as well as you,
of course.)

but you know that we all already considered you our sister anyways!

Yeah! It's about time! Thank you for the phonetic spelling of your name ...:) I love that you are 'legally' one of the sisters :)
Terry ... where do you get these gem catch phrases?:)
Saija?
Do we get to vote?
On second thought, voting is not a good idea...I probably couldn't get in! LOL!
Welcome my precious friend...I'm so glad your "one of us"!
Sending Hugs you way!!!
thanx for the nice welcome ...even from Pat *laughing* ... :o) ... looking forward to the adventure ... !
(hugs)
Oh dear who is this sweet sister who has joined our band??? She looks so beautiful!
(just kidding)
Welcome to the blog Saija, you are already a part of our 'family"
i thought all along that you were already a scarf sister... so glad to know you're "in."
Loved seeing the pic of our dear Ms Terry in here...
Thanks for sharing your story on this post.
Love

Howdy from far away, in Texas! Well, maybe not as far away as some of the other sisters here! Welcome to the "hood"!
Southern Manitoba, my Hubby Dave goes fishing up in Northern Manitoba quite a bit,. They'll drive to Thompson and then have a float plane fly them, canoes and all their gear in to Wilkie Lake and drop them off for *10 days. They get picked up at a pre-determined destination and get flown back out. Next summer, our son Charles (almost 20) will be making his first big fishing trip with Dave and he's pretty excited!

hope it doesn't snow connie!!haha!
love terry
Don't you know it Terry! It was June of 09 that they had to come up with plan C since there was still so much ice on the lake! They wound up driving 1000 miles and all through the night to make it to Red Lake Ontario in time for a different pilot to fly them to a lake w/o ice!!

Dear Saija,
I'm so happy to be able to welcome you too.
Hugs from Felisol
feeling at home ... thanx!
and Constance, would you believe that i went to high school in Thompson and that is where i met and married leo ... so that area is very familiar to me ... though i wouldn't want to live there 24/7 anymore - it has changed alot - and i don't care for the isolation and cold cold winters!! but that location is definitely a shaper of who i am today!
Welcome Sister! So good to have you join us. That Terry is a great reference! You're in! :)
