    Hi Sherry, welcome to the Stew from north Texas. Glad you joined us.

    Why not tell us a little about yourself, hobbies, what kind of gardening you do, have any pets or kiddos?

    Nice to meet everyone...such far away places...OK Michigan isn't too far. I am close to Green Bay, the home of the Green Bay Packers..

    I have 2 dogs, a Cairn Terrier (TOTO on the Wizard of Oz) and a yellow lab. Scooter and Shadow. Tigger is a cat who is 17 years old.

    I flower garden, I love just about every type of flower that I have had. The more color in my flower beds the better. I do have a large variety. Our season is not very long here in Wisconsin so I don't do too many seeds. I buy plants from the nursery. After I have been here a while, I will post my link to my gardens.

    I have been married almost 40 years in April and I went with my husband when I was a sophomore (10) in high school. We got married right after highschool.

    Have a great day...

    Sherry8 :-D

    Hi Sherry
    A warm welcome from SOuth Africa. Your cat is 17 years old. WOW. I am sure that is must be quite a character in the family to have been with you for so many years. Furthermore, I am sure you will enjoy stewing with the stewbies.

    Hello! I lived in Wisconsin until 1989. Then, we moved to sunny Arizona. We have a son & family that live in Oshkosh. They were in Wausau until last year.Our daughter-in-law still works for a law firm in Wausau. She has her office in their house and goes to the office in Wausau on Tuesdays when Andy is off. Now that both boys are in school she may be able to go the Wausau office more often. Wisconsin is beautiful, but COLD too many months out of the year. Here, winters are short. dooley

    Welcome to the stew from southern Ontario!
    The winds and colder weather have arrived here too. I'm NOT happy about it.
