How wonderful to be greeted like that.π€π
Well, most everyone already knows I'm back, but I decided to make my official "entrance" here. It was a wonderful trip but it's good to be back and I definitely missed you all! π€ I have so much to share and catch up with but for now, you all can guess who this is! π

Emma wrote: "Franklin Roosevelt?"Hmm, getting warm! πIt is a US President, and this is in Niles, OH...
MEG!! YOU'RE BACK!!! oh no......did you read all the comments from your quiz thread? π° We turned traitor and started gushing on our favorite British authors.
Harrison or McKinley? It's so hard to tell - the statue is so far away! Trying to find beardless Ohio presidents!! π

Yeah, I didn't figure I was right. ππ
Wait, shouldn't this be on the quiz topic? π€£

I don't have a guess. He's too small to be Lincoln, that's all I've got to say.π

Lol, I know it's not really a fair question since the picture isn't really close enough to see his features. That is William McKinley!

I'll be sharing pictures and stories from the trip a little at a time, as I have time. π

HEAR YE, HEAR YE! Be it known to all that I have appointed Ruth as co-moderator of our NEL group. I am so thankful that she agreed to help and know she'll make a wonderful moderator. ππ₯³π

Yay, she will make an excellent and wise moderator!Hahahaha, were we THAT BAD that you felt like you needed somebody else in charge while you were away!?!

the threads, when Meg changed my status-

Oh that's funny Ruth! I'm sure you'll make an absolutely FANTASTIC moderator!! Being a moderator is a lot of fun!!
Hannah wrote: "Yay, she will make an excellent and wise moderator!Hahahaha, were we THAT BAD that you felt like you needed somebody else in charge while you were away!?!"
π No, I'd been thinking about this for a while now as the group continues to grow. But I do wish I'd put her in charge before leaving... π

So the next question is, is Ruth as bribable with Hawthorne flavored lollies as Meg is?

π No, I'd been thinking..."
Haha, good idea! Well, we believe you've made an excellent choice in picking Ruth to be moderator! Know she'll do a great job!!
Hannah wrote: "So the next question is, is Ruth as bribable with Hawthorne flavored lollies as Meg is?"No, hers will have to be Longfellow flavored...whatever that would be. π
I appreciate your kind and supportive words.You really are a great group!

Taffy Longfellow.
So does anyone know what happened to Doreen? Did she leave the group??
π - As congratulations for your promotion!
Emma wrote: "So does anyone know what happened to Doreen? Did she leave the group??"Our shenanigans probably scared her away!
Emma wrote: "So does anyone know what happened to Doreen? Did she leave the group??"She's still here, I've had some messages from her. Maybe she was staying out of trouble until I got back. π
Meg wrote: "Emma wrote: "So does anyone know what happened to Doreen? Did she leave the group??"She's still here, I've had some messages from her. Maybe she was staying out of trouble until I got back. π"
I wouldn't blame her!!! π€£π€£ I'm glad she's still apart of it.

I'll set my alarm for 3:30 this morning and see if anything is visible then.
I'm awake every morning at 3:30, so I'll look then, too. Hope it is not still raining then
Pamela wrote: "Congatulations Ruth!! Sorry I'm late with Congrats...The heat wore me down today, I took a nap (odd for me) and we're having bad storms here now. No comet watching tonight. Just as well..I'm not fe..."Hi Pamela,
No worries. How kind, Thank you π
I know about that, the heat wears one down- dang it!
I could just sit in a vat of iced tea. We're expecting
some heavy rain, but we'll see. It ends up as tummy
rumbles and a sneeze. Comet? I've heard if such things.
π I hope you have a better day tomorrow and a comet.
P.S. Two months until autumn!πππ
(Four for usπ₯)

4 months until autumn?! π² We can have snow by then! I feel it autumn in the air here already! "How early in the summer, too, the prophecy of autumn comes! Earlier in some years than in others; sometimes even in the first weeks of July. There is no other feeling like what is caused by this faint, doubtful, yet real perception--if it be not rather a foreboding--of the year's decay, so blessedly sweet and sad in the same breath."
~Nathaniel Hawthorne
