I've been so fortunate to have met and become friends with a number of forum members...I've only had one cup of coffee, and my brain is officially turned off for the weekend, but I'll try not to leave any out...
Marie
Erin
Daryl
LindaL (even though she's from Hillsboro...)
Helen
and now Shari (not from Scappoose...but close enough!)
...the Scappoose contingent. GREAT friends without whom I'd be totally lost.
Liz (Nootka) and family -- Martin, Kenny, Brandon and Colton -- each and every one of them is incredible, delightful, funny, great company, always helpful...can't say enough!
Three of the Crabby Chickens -- Kim, Hillary and Matthew -- I'd go to shows just to see them!
Maryann and Brianna -- I think we were separated at birth or something...we seemed to already know each other when we finally met. Now we just need to meet Larry!
Kathy (minisaremighty) --an honorary member of the Scappoose contingent
Jayne -- Thelonius' first mommy...I'm forever indebted to her for letting my little kissy cute boy come to live with us!
Jenn and kendra -- I had such a blast giving them the "susanne tour" of Portland. One of these days we'll have to take a road trip to Alberta. Then I can also meet Kim in person -- another one that I feel as if I've met in person already)
Rob (CLC) -- he officially measured Mingus for hardship and proved himself to be a total saint by helping us try to get Mingus in our van...I'll NEVER forget that!
Sheri Hill -- a total sweetheart and fantastic horsewoman
Mark and Sharon Bullington -- kindred spirits
Annette (HPminis)
Lori Guglielmo
Al B
Tony
Michelle (of Wesco Farms)
...and so many others that I met at the AMHA conference in Portland
There are so many her that I have to remind myself that I've yet to meet them in person...
Shirley (Triggy...) Nancy (Equisize), Marty, Lisa, kaykay, Mary Lou, Mona, Liz (Hosscrazy), Breanna (MiniHGal), I mentioned Kim Locke above...the list goes on.
If I didn't name everyone, it's not that you're not important, but because I'm just a bozo today...
