Hi Krystyna,

You made it!  Awesome!  I am very glad you stopped by to say hi and pass on a grats.  Each time we post, we get to know each other much better.  So, see my signature below?  Click on the Bulletin Board link and come find us posting around Adland.  :)

Thank you again my friend.

Hi Joe,

My new friend!

Well one thing you said gave me goosebumps.
Of all the places you could have chosen to go, you:

"...ended up at a small ski area.  That is where I met my wonderful soul mate and wife Natalie"

Now, how could you have met her if you had gone east or west instead!
Oh, my- you both would be pining away not knowing where your missing piece was!

Congratulations!!!

Hi my dear Joyce,

You have a keen sense of comprehension.  I admire that very much.  I have really enjoyed reading your posts and if I could only figure out where you hang out... :) 

Yes, we both agreed that our meeting was meant to happen.  If you knew how Natalie had ended up there, your goosebumps would burst!   Maybe Natalie will become a member one day and tell you her story.  The story is very intriguing.  And to think I was set and determined to cowboy in Wyoming... Up there I'd more than likely had tangled with a grizzly.

Thank you Joyce.  You amaze me my friend.  :)

Dear Joe,
Hey you..... thanks for your reply post....... I feel so so appreciated.  Woweeeeee, thank you.

And yes to all, please feel free to invite me as friends if we are not cause friends are hard to come by especially times like this.......  And if anyone reads this, NEW ADLANDERS, invite JOE DOWNING to be a friend of yours....... He is one big hearted helpful lad with a great big warm wonderful & loving smile...... I got to say this, you look mighty good on the Adland POTW page...... Don't you think so????  Come on, still time to be proud of yourself because its your week and best of all you have EARNED every bit of it.......

To all the previous POTW, I agree with Joe..... your bio's (haven't gone through the whole chest of them yet) are INSPIRING & the title of POTW is well deserved by all of you.

Thank you Joe, trust me, I don't even need a chair, standing and reading all your posts as wells as John & Pauline's is good enough to make my knee feel weak....... the welcome has been overwhelming.

Love, Rina
