about ode2joy

I enjoy life and the beauty that exists around me.  One reason I love photography is I may help make someone else open their eyes to the wonder that exists everywhere.  Another reason is: my father loved photography and this is something I inherited from him. I like to think he would be proud of me. I have been married 35 years and have a 25 year old son.  I am a nurse and love people.

Next week won't work for me.

Moving this weekend and leaving town for almost a month on 7/1.

Thanks.

God bless.

RB

Good Morning ,I would love to meet you for lunch,will have to get back with yoyu on that,Let me know what day of next week.Wishing you a beautiful day.

Sorry Ode. I would love to meet you but am having a crazy week. Hope we can work it out sometime.

Good morning my friend!!!

Sounds like a wonderful idea if my schedule will allow it, keep me posted!!!

LOL! I'm not sure if the boys will go, but Morgan is my little shadow. :)

Hi ya', O2J. Thank you for the invite. Keep me updated. My schedule is pretty flexible and if I can, I'll surely be there. :)

Good Evening! Thank you so much for the invite. Hubby and I will be nestled away, secluded in the TN mountains next week. No cell, no puter...

Cary seems to central for most. Great idea to plan a meet there! I hope you have a great turnout...Hopefully another open golo meet will be planned in the near future in Cary and we can bolt in!

Again, thank you. Have a blast!

thank YOU so much, your profile pic always brings a smile to my face :)

have a great night !

Thanks Ode!

Just getting worse as the days go by this week.

Perhaps later this afternoon I'll be better.

I pray so.

I am NOT a good sick person. ;o)

God bless.

RB

Elaine,

Just keep me in the loop on the lunch thing. I am in Haw River so thats is just under an hour drive. Post to my profile. I too have been wanting to meet some of the fine folks here on GOLO....

Great idea....

Wish I could make the lunch, but I'm too far away during lunch. Have fun!

Let me know when/where and I'll try to make it.

Can't promise cuz I am a 9-5 slave. :)

Thanks for the info, ode! I'll see what I can do -- have a great Friday!

suppp granny!

hope you have a good one!

luves me my granny!

Ode, thank you for inviting me to lunch. I'm sorry that I won't be able to attend.

I hope your husband is doing well.

Have a great evening.

TY for the invite Elaine. Sounds like a good plan. I'll make a strong effort to be there one way or the other. Again, Ty for the invite!

Thanks for the invite, unfortunately I won't be able to attend since I am now working for a living. Ya'll have fun!

((hugs))

Hello, Ode, lunch is a great idea! I am pretty certain I can attend. Looks like a good crowd.

We were born the same year, and I like Heart and Scrabble, too.

BTW, I'm Susan

Thanks Ode, won't be around. Maybe next time. :)

TGIF

O2J can you please keep me posted on the lunch for next week. I want to make sure to be there, I would hate to miss it. I understand right now that it's next Tuesday @1:00 at the Golden Corral in Cary? Thanks bunches.

I am looking forward to it as well. See you then :)

"we are trying to have a Golo Reunion at Golden Coral in Cary next Tuesday at 1PM. Hope you can make it."

Thanks for letting me know! I probably can't make it, even though I'd love to. Cary's a bit far for my lunch hour, but please let me know if y'all do it again!

I still love that pic of the sleeping kitty, btw.

Barring something unforeseen--I should be there. :)

That Sunny Skies place sounds like a good place to stop in some time. TY for the info on it.

Just thinking about you and wanted to come by and say good morning.Hope you had a nice weekend and that you have a wonderful Sunday.

Elaine, I feel the same way about you. Birds of a feather flock together, because they are looking for the same thing. I agree, the morning is my favorite part of golo, too.

Hey,glad you could sleep in this morning.Nice that you and hubby could take a week off together to do some things around the house.Thank you so much for your kind words,I try to treat people as I would like to be treated.You sound like you are a very nice person your self.Sorry that your husband had a stroke just glad he is doing better and able to do things now.I will be keeping you both in my prayers.Stay as sweet as you are..Stop by my profile more often.Wishing you and hubby the best.{{{{Hugs}}}}

thanks for the well wishes Ode!! (((hugs))) it means a lot.

Ode - early morning is my favorite time to GOLO as well, and the folks that usually show up that early really are great people. I've been fortunate enough to meet several of them, and I have enjoyed the interactions with each. GOLO can be a very positive place to be, if one just sets clear rules. Several months ago I posted a blog stating that I would welcome different opinions as long as they were conveyed in a pleasant and civilized manner, but I would instantly delete and block personal attacks. I have three kids I referee for all the time, I certainly don't have time to referee online as well. I very much look forward to tuesday. Please, let Willow know that I would be delighted to pay for her lunch if she is willing to go. These are hard times for many, unfortunately, so it's up to all of us to look out for one another. And, I want to thank you so much for coming so frequently on my posts - people like you are the reason I GOLO as well. Have a blessed evening. :) {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Thank you aso much for the support! It truly means a lot. I am on the verge of giving up on this bunch! LOL! Just kidding...it would make too many people happy. ( or should I say ID's?)

im only an artist with my camera =) I know a nice place ( website ) that has great art, i love art , all types. once school is back in for my daughters pre school things will be more doable. shes in school from 930 to 1230 starting sept !

Im sure i can do a meet up next month, just haev lots going on h ere (( HUGS ))

It's no big deal. I can tolerate it once or twice a year. LOL Anyway the main reason I'm going is to meet everyone. I'm also bringing my wife.

Hi, Elaine! Thank you for letting me know about lunch tomorrow. I may be able to make it, it depends on my work load. I hope I can - GOLO gatherings are usually really nice. =)

Thanks for the comment! Hopefully, things will get better in the next couple weeks.

give me your email addy and ill send ya my photo link, you will see the pics ive done downtown and the countryside,lol

Good morning! Thank you for the welcome and kind invitation. Unfortunately, I work in north Raleigh so I couldn't make it in my lunch time frame. But, hopefully, one day I can. And, what a beautiful, peaceful kitty. :-)

I said a prayer for you today And know God must have heard. I felt the answer in my heart Although he spoke no word!

I didn't ask for wealth or fame (I knew you wouldn't mind). I asked him to send treasures Of a far more lasting kind!

I asked that he be near you At the start of each new day; To grant you health and blessings And friends to share your way!

I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small. But it was for his loving care I prayed the most of all!

Thanks for putting up with me!! Have a great day!!!

Elaine...TY for sharing your pix of the luncheon in your gallery. Looks like y'all had a great time, and I'm sorry I had to miss it. Again, TY for sharing.

Oh thanks for letting me know and for inviting me! Unfortunately, I won't be able to be there though because I have a non-stop day full of meetings tomorrow, butI would have loved to have come! I have not been to one of the gatherings, and would love to meet you all! Thanks again!

Ode - you are the sweetest lady ever, and you definitely give Christianity a good name and a warm feel. Most of my friends are Christian, and I think they are wonderful, amazing people. This one lady here really blew me away. LOL Have an awesome evening!!! {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Ode, thank you so much for posting on Sierra's blog. We can hardly wait until she's well enough to come home!

thanks for the compliment and no flickr is for anyone and its free and holds up to 200 pics, you can pay 25.00 a year for unlimited.

I love photographing my babies,lol. I love photography kids in general !

I dont have an image gallery cause I get promoted to much,lol

Thanks ode for the kind words about the birthday logo. I love doing stuff like that - lets you be creative, and that's not something that happens everyday...

Take care, and enjoy your Thursday!

Elaine

I've been away from my PC and never got the chance until now to express how nice it was to meet you at the lunch. It certainly was a treat for me to enjoy a meal with such nice folks as you and the others. I hope it won't be too long before we try this again. You are to be commended on putting together the invitation and for seeing it through. Perhaps next go round we will see some new faces....:)

Have a wonderful holiday weekend.

Steve

Hi there! The Carrington-Smith totem pole? I've never heard of it...where did you see that? Was it on GOLO?

Hey Ode, is there anyway you could send me a link to the totem pole? I'm dying of curiosity...

LOL! Ode, I thought of that being the totem after I left you the comment. :) The pics of the gathering are awesome! It was so fun to meet you in person! Have a fantastic holiday weekend. :)

Hi Ode, I haven't had time to download the pix yet. I'll get to it soon.

Big plans for the holiday?

Susan
