Subject: Hello to my Dear Friends

Ladies, I was out of the computer business for awhile, plus I have been busy working again. I finally found the website addy written down on an old form. I lost all my data from my old computer. I missed you all very much. By the way, I lost all my emails, too!!!

Yeah, Delilah's back! :) Now if we also get to see the new Disney version of LHOP this fall, life should really be interesting, LOL.

I haven't heard anything about that in a long time. I suppose it's sitting on a shelf somewhere collecting dust.

Every once in a while I pop over here to check for activity... I couldn't believe it when I actually saw a post from you Delilah! So good to see a message from you again. Ann, I hear from you now and then so I knew you would be about; good to "see" you too!!

Maybe some more of the "old crowd" will show up, could the board ever be resurrected, do you think??

Delilah! My partner in crime -- where have you BEEN?? -- Kim, 16:13:13 07/15/04 Thu

Man, have I missed you, girl. I've sent you soooo many e-mails (and snail mails, too -- did you move again?) and with nary a single reply from you, assumed you'd fallen off the planet! I'm very relieved to hear that that is not the case. I'm glad I popped over today, probably the first time in a year or more.

I'd love to get your new e-mail addy, but am very leery about posting mine, or having you post yours here. What do you think would be best for getting back together? Kellie hasn't got any idea where you are either (although I haven't talked to her in months). Maybe we'll have to have some more online parties and find out what's new for each other.

Glad you're okay, give The Men hugs from me (they must be so grown up by now), and one for you too. I've missed you!

Nearly partied-out from the Calgary Stampede,

Kim

[> click me -- Delilah Firth, 01:11:46 07/17/04 Sat

I AM SOOOOO GLAD YOU BOTH RESPONDED!!!!

I have enclosed my email (just click my name). I miss you so much and can't wait to hear from you both again.

I cannot believe I found the old addy for this place. I lost EVERYTHING on my computer a long time ago...including all your phone #'s and emails. It's my fault for not putting them on paper. I kept everything in my computer.

Well, for whatever reason I found the board number written on an old piece of paper I had.

Anne, like you, I everyone checks back over here. If only I could find the time to add it to the search engines. Maybe we should put a shout out over at the Frontier Board.

BTW, Kim, isn't my man looking devine these days?

Oh yeah, your man is looking just fine these days. no, I am not drooling. I have my own man and no jealousy for yours whatsoever.

When you see the light, you'll know what I mean. Canadians are naturally supreme.

Perhaps someone can get a good discussion going, then I'm sure loads of people will come back.

I went into shock upon receiving an email from Kellie saying "Delilah's Back!" LOL!!! I still monitor Frontier Girl, although not as diligently as before, and check here from time to time. All of a sudden things are back in action! This reminds me of the end of Grease when Sandy and Danny are re-united and Frenchie makes the comment that the "gangs all back together." Good to see everyone!

This is getting real good. We still need Cindy, Pat, Deloris, Valerie, Shell, Janie and Nancy. Am I leaving anyone off the list. Of course it wouldn't be the same without Jennie. I wonder what happened to her. Then there is Michael from Germany. He was so sweet. I wonder where he went off to.

Look! People DO exist! I still lurk by occasionally, and I'm still researching LIW. Check out pioneergirl.com for the latest "what ever happened to" report! :-)

I sent Jennie a message on yahooIM. Don't know if she still has the account, since I haven't heard from her in forever.

Wow, it is good to see so many people here on the board again! I have lost track of Cindy. Have tried to email her, but the emails bounce back. :(

LHOP is definitely supposed to be on the Disney Channel in the fall, a 4-part movie, I think. It'll be interesting to see how they cast it, whether it will be more like the books or the TV show.

I will try to list the site with some search engines and see what happens. :)

You know you are loved here. It's good to see you are still keeping LIW alive.

Ann, do you know what part of her life they will be portraying? Wouldn't it be nice to see a small portion of her later life portrayed? I would love to see maybe an older Laura narrating to some young children who have come to pay her a visit. It's all just a thought.

Well, Hello everyone!!

It's wonderful to see y'all are still here!! Life is busy in my little corner of the world and even worse, I had misplaced my Favorites backup disk (I'm sure it's still around here *somewhere*!) and lost the URL to the board! (Thanks D for resending the link!! And also to Jennifer who has sent it to me in the past )

Hope everyone is doing great and hope to chat with you all real soon!!

Love & Hugs all around!
Kellie

btw-KIMBERLEE!!!!! Girlfriend, how ARE you and the family!?! Have missed y'all terribly...you just don't know!!!!

I've missed you too! I'm sure T doesn't mind not paying for the 3-hour phone calls we used to do ALL the time, but they were the most fun ever! When I get a landline again (Telus says it'll be this autumn -- believe it when I see it), I will phone you and we can catch up. It might be a 4-hour call at that point, knowing us!

btw, I still tell everyone I have a twin sister who lives in Texas. Separated at birth, and 15 months apart, but still twins.

Hugs to your crew from mine ... they miss you too!

Kimberlee

Hi! Hope I'm the Shell Delilah was wondering about. I've been checking here once in a while and there wasn't much activity but there sure is now. I've been going to Fronteir Girl mostly.(I'm Chelle there because I forgot my password and to re-register).I'll definitley have to check this place out more often (along with a ton of other things to do)I can't wait until the movie in the fall. I thought it was going to be on the Disney movie of the week on ABC. Hope it's only 3 parts so that way it'll all fit on one DVD.

[> [> Shell, it is nice to see your name! -- delilah, 16:39:54 08/01/04 Sun

We are slowly but surely getting everyone back. We only need something to discuss or it will become a ghost town again. :(

Hi, Shell, good to see you back!

Okay, what can we discuss (that we haven't already, lol) about Laura, her books, the LHOP TV show, the upcoming movie???

How about--just who is the official heir/owner of the rights to Laura's work at this point? Does anyone know?

Also, do you think Melissa Gilbert will ever do a TV movie where she plays Laura in her later years, say at Rocky Ridge and/or after LIW has written her first LHOP book?

Nice to see so many familiar names again.
Hello to all of you, I have been checking the site now and again, you probably don't remember me?? (England) only left a few messages over the years. But have got a few email pals from this site. I haven't been on the computer that much lately , as I've been working longer hours over the last 12 months.
"Hi to everyone"

I havne't been on the site for a while, but i will check more often now!
off the subject- i don't know if you may remember that I went to see Donny Osmond last year, well I went to see David Cassidy a few months back with a friend from work, it was a really great evening, I used to like him when i was about 12, and didn't know what to expect but it was really good, the atmosphere was wonderful.

Oh, yes, I remember that you went to see Donny Osmond! That's great that David Cassidy's show turned out to be really good. :)
