Lou
I am trying to find out more about Carmello Cortez. My husband received a rose petal. Does he have a webpage? Please share what you know.
I loved reading your imformation page. We have 4 children and 4 dogs. : )
My dear Lou! I am so, so happy you dropped by my blog. Now I know your email address, I can contact you directly. Let’s keep in touch! I kinda miss having you and Bella around to chat with….
Cyberspace brings us all so much closer than we can achieve physically, which is another reason I made this blog…to reach out to friends in different corners of the world…
Drop by my site often and let me know how things are over at your end too!
Hi, Jane — Nice reading your blogs. It’s the techno version of that old book we kept at cag where anyone can write just about anything. Keep on blogging………….
Wow, Vanj! Thanks for reminding me of that CAG scrapbook we used to have. Come to think of it….WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THAT ONE? I wish someone kept it and in one of our reunions, we can flip through the pages and laugh over our private jokes once again….hahahaha. Glad to have had you drop by my blog. Let’s keep in touch!
Jane, thanks for dropping by my blog and letting me know of your presence. You’ll be seeing me here more often, too — I’m loving this site!

Hi jane,
I notice you have a lot of queries regarding kefir. Just to let you know, we are the one producing cultured pure kefir in our home town in Bukidnon. I have it shipped by air every other day. Any need arises, you can contact me at 4408987, 0915-9281982 or email: kefirpower.marbon@gmail.com…. I’m so grateful through this product our family has changed so many KEFIR ADVOCATES’ lives. Their testimony of being healthy and getting healed of illnesses, gave us more strength to reach out for a healthy life and well-being of others… As a member of the Kefir Family, I strongly campaign for Wellness and Longevity the Natural Simple Way!

Jane,
It was lovely to meet you earlier this week at the EB with Keng. Learned quite a bit (plurk?) and was encouraged to finally start yoga.
I am so glad to have had the chance to attend that EB and meet all the other wonderful mom bloggers out there. I hope to make more time for these in the future.
See you again!
P.S. My uncle Tito A. (from SGV) remembers you. Even mentioned that you attended Wharton in Philly.
