Hi Pami! Gos, it's been months since I logged into this account, so I'm glad I caught you so quickly. You have such a beautiful page. Thank you so much for having Happy on your front page. It actually brought a tear to my eyes to see that.

I definitely think that's Kate in the unknown demo. I heard it immediately. Even though the music is so different from anything else she's done, and it's not anything we've ever heard of, I absolutely believe it's her. I'd have to see proof that it's someone else to change my mind. No one sounds like that.
Not even Happy :)

Hiya, Pami.

OOH! You have an Alan Lee background. BEST ONE YET! Fab avatar too.

Here's Teena in a local park two mornings ago. All the workers could do was play; no work to go to.

A Winter Wonderland, huh? Doesn't get this pretty here very often so we made the most of it.

Hope you've been enjoying a lovely weekend. Have a great week.

Love to all at the Mogster's house.

Debi.

So glad you are enjoying the snow - it is amazing! I must feed the birds later, the poor things are all fluffed up and sitting miserably in the trees.

Dear Pami,
thanks for your lovely comment & e-mail message.
Your MySpace profile looks amazing! My page is just nothing in comparison!!! I am still working on things I have no knowledge of, so...in a while it might look better, though I am not at all sure about when... ;o )
Enjoy life and be happy!
