Just testing to see if the post works. I have renewed the Bravenet hosting as the regular free one doesn;t support more storage so will see if this one takes ok. {smile}

{{Elfina}} I saw your post in Astrochat which is what prompted me to pop over here and brush away the cobwebs {smile}

Now let's see if this takes.

love from Liz (mermaid)

Ah that worked ok... I think it is so long since I have posted here that I had forgotten you have to hit reply! {chuckle}

Hoping all who used to post in here are well and perhaps I will start posting some more news in here, but for now am signing off as I need to make a start on my day.

Leaving a {{warm group hug}} to {{all}} who may enter

with love always

I wanted to leave a note here to acknowledge Jonathan's passing and send out sympathies and {{healing energies}} to his family.



I also want to acknowledge that without Jonathan's site all those years ago I would never have had Mermaid's Retreat in Astro chat nor made many friends on the internet before the days of Facebook and other Social Media when all we had was Windows 3.1 and fax modems and dial up internet connections charged by the minute!

I am sure he will be missed by many who have followed him over the years as shall I. R.I.P Jonathan and may your spirit find its place amongsst the stars.

love always

Dearest Mermaid . . .

I'm very concerned about you as I see you've not posted here since May. Also, I sent an email to you, but never got a reply.

So much has happened over the intervening months that I myself have not been able to pop in.

Mom passed away in August, and truth be told, I've been heart broken. Yes, of course she has gone to a much better place than here, but one of course misses the physical absence of those whom we've lost. Her passing was from a slip and fall after she'd recovered from an earlier slip and fall in the beginning part of 2016.

Anyway, finally made it here and am hoping you are doing ok.

With love and {{hugs}} across the Pond,
Diana

Have just seen this as I had an email notification come in as I was about to head off to Neptune land. I am so sorry to hear about dear {{Loralee}} bless her... sending my deepest sympathies and loving condolences across the Pond to you.

When did you email as I never saw it? A lot has been happening for me but if you email me again (the seamaid@btinternet.com one) then I will write privately.

Sending love across the Sea

always

Liz, it was such a relief to see your post and know that you are still ~here.~ {Smile}

I do miss you dear sister, and hope with all of my heart that things are going well for you.

Not sure what email addy I sent that mail to, was probably an old one. No matter, as once Christmas is behind us, I want to sit down and write you a more detailed email and look forward to hearing from you as and when your own now permits.

Love always,
Diana

Hello again dear {{Diana}}

Please send a one liner to the address shown on the post above and I will also leave it here as well. I have should have some time on Boxing Day as I have the children and grandchildren coming over on Tuesday so will sit and write an email to you. We can both have a good catch up as time is timeless is it not? {smile}

Wishing you a good Christmas....

with love always
