Please help me welcome my friend

My good friend, Lynda L. has joined Gather!  I met Lynda on a message board about 8 years ago and we've been great friends ever since.  At the time, she lived in Phoenix and I, in Green Bay.  She has since moved to Chicago, making it easier for the two of us to get together.  She is a very talented writer and I think she'll be an asset to this group.  She's great to hang out with and we are looking forward to a trip we are taking together to New York in April.    She's also an awesome artist and I'm lucky enough to have some of her watercolor work.  She's an animal lover and has a zoo at her house with both animals and people :D  She is also a FABULOUS singer!

 Maybe if we make her feel more at home, she'll jump in and participate! 

 Here's a picture of Lynda and I at the Blues Fest in Chicago:

I can't seem to get the pic to work so I'll try uploading it.

 I tried to put in a link but it didn't work.  You can copy and paste this though:

 Thank you for your help folks!
