Hey Girl,
Thanks for the pictures of the money. I am printing it off as we speak. Who knows when I may just jump a fast boat to South Africa and could use the cash! Geez, that really sounds good to me right now. Snow just falling from the sky in clumps today. Isn't is amazing the difference in the "life" of the different continents. You may not have been suprised to look out your car window to see any one of these and I would have to put my teeth back in my mouth if I ever did. Now up here it's common to see deer, buffalo, coyotes, fox, raccoon, rabbits etc. Yet here we all are on good old Mother Earth. Anyway, thanks for the history lesson. It's always great to learn about other lands. (And the extra cash will be great!!!)
Love ya,
Julie

Hiya Julie,
Snow is as unfamiliar to me as our big cats are to you. :) Actually, when we visited Yellowstone, I was so excited to see the bison, black bear (in the wild), deer and wild swans! I was so hoping we would get to see wolf (heard them one night) and moose, but we just didn't! It's a spectacular place! I'd love to see more of the States. We left Yellowstone from the West Gate and Wyoming looked really pretty as we drove through! If we had had time it would have been so wonderful to see Mount Rushmore in SD and Devil's Tower in Wyoming, but the park itself is so big and there's so much to see, that we didn't even see enough of that!!! Glad you enjoyed the money! LOL! Isn't it pretty?
Love and hugs to you, girlfriend,
Sue-Lynn

Hiya Betsy Girl! It's so nice to "see" you again and yes, I miss you also! I'm glad you popped in! My timing usually seems off when I go to the Posse blog, because everyone has usually left by then! LOL! Ah well! Hopefully one of these days we will connect.
I had a short email from Catnappin recently. Life tends to get busy and people get caught up in it. She said she's fine! Haven't really connected with her for a while either.
Well, I gotta git, I have transcription to do! Love and hugs to you, Betsy! Hope life is treating you and yours well. God bless! Sue-Lynn

I just love to see other country's currencies...ours is so ugly and unimaginative. Just a bunch of stodgy old fogeys, if you ask me! :) I suppose our currency tells a part of our story, just as South Africa's tells part of its story...but still, I'd rather have some of the animals that julie mentioned than some of the ugly mugs we've got!
Sure have missed you all! =^..^=
