A Big Hand For Heidi!!!

[SusanwithaGoodBook]

I just have to tell everybody that... First of all I owe Heidi (the best partner in the WHOLE WORLD) a huge apology!

I've been MIA all day. I didn't want to be. I had to go shopping with my teenage daughter and my middle aged mother. That's a SPECIAL kind of torture I assure you.

Anyway, she's been here all day dealing with all of the registration problems and frustrations all alone... and I never intended it to be that way!

And yet, I have to leave again in a couple of hours to go to dinner at my dh's bosses home. That's the kind of thing you can't get out of "no dear, I can't go to dinner at the CFOs house... I've got work to do on the forums." He's just not buying it - especially since THIS job doesn't pay $$$$$$.

So, please bear with us today. Be patient for a few days until we work out the kinks and get everybody in here. We'll figure it all out but this is a learning experience for us too.

And please join me in giving Heidi a round of applause and a HUGE HUG!

No apology necessary--I'm glad it's shaping up here!

I received my confirmation in seconds!! Great job Heidi!

Let me ask......... does this mean to stop doing AHFH? Is that what Bryce wants? It seems to me like you all may have talked some things over with him first, right?

Anyhow, I love the look of books, all the smilies and the forum divisions.

A thousand blessings on y'all for giving us book lovers a cool library.

Sorry I couldn't make them stand up for you. They probably did it right after this picture was taken... ;)

[SugarPlum]

Y'all are starting to embarrass me. :blush:

(Don't stop.) :D

how funny!!!!!! I was just coming to post a pic of a big hand too! Ya beat me to it!! :D

I'd say hang around anywhere you want for as long as you want unless you are told not too. I haven't been told I should limit my posting anywhere. So post anywhere I shall :D

[OnTheWay]

I can't do it in smilie mode - but as Heidi is a cub scout mom she is surely aware of the scout method of a big round of applause....

For those of you uninitiated, we must all stand up, start clapping and move the clapping hands around in a big circle around your head. LOL - big round of applause - get it? :clapping: for Heidi

Thanks for the complements.

As to AHFH... we'll still be going there for a while until Bryce decides what he wants to do... but we'll be mostly hanging out here.

Bryce hasn't decided yet what to do, but we'll be sure to let you know... and yes, we ARE in touch with him and we HAVE let him know about this place. He's just pondering right now.

I am familiar with the tradition--thank you for accepting me into your society. :D

Heidi, Heidi, Ho!

I don't know why I felt the need to say that. I don't even remember what it's from. But it was just THERE in my brain, and I needed to set it free. :D

Seriously, though -- thank you for working so hard to make this place hum. :)

Oh, it's fun work!

(And that's from The Blues Brothers. Ask me how I know--it's not like I spent a year in high school having that sung at me or anything. :))

I think it actually pre-dates that. I think it goes back to the early days of musicians like Cab Calloway. Not that I'm an expert on swing, LOL -- but there's some connection there. My little brain told me so. :D

Thanks, Heidi! All your efforts are appreciated.
