I live in the little village of Nottawa, Ontario (Canada) in the beautiful Georgian Triangle . . . 15 minutes from the world's longest freshwater beach, 15 minutes to the best skiing in Ontario . . . aaaah!

I started decorating cakes a few years ago for our children -- 4 boys and 5 girls (oldest 16, youngest 6 mos.) By the time I get good at birthday cakes I'm going to have to learn wedding cakes!

This forum is wonderful for ideas and help. I'm greatly enjoying it!

I used to live in Zephyrhills (Fl where the water comes from) but I live in New Orleans now (DH is in dental school).

I know where that is! They've got the BEST water! It's a small world!! If ya get back this way, get in touch!


I almost fell off my seat when I read Durant. But then I saw FLorida. I grew up and graduated from Durant, Iowa. Small town of about 6-7,000. I thought I might know you, as everyone knows everyone there, but no such luck this time.
Wouldn't that be somethin'! Durant is a real small town here too!

Hi there!

I'm in Fairhope, AL....just across the bay from Mobile, AL. Grew up in Mobile but got smart and moved to the eastern shore. But now it's growing so much that we've moved out to the "country"....between Fairhope & Foley sort of! Small world!

Oh. Ok. Thanks. I guess you get together and share different techniques? That sounds like fun. Except I'd be learning and have nothing to contribute! LOL.

Hi Folks,
Glad to see so many Canadians on this list! I live near a very small Hamlet called Dorothy, Alberta. The hamlet of Dorothy has a population of 5 people. (Not kidding!) Dorothy is about 20 miles east of Drumheller, Alberta, Canada. We live 30 miles from the nearest town, so no cake decorating supplies anywhere!
I have been married to the same man for 28 years and we have two children a son 25 married (no grandbabies yet....sniff) And a daughter 27. My daughter wants me to make her wedding cake. I've been reading every post in preparation! Great Site.
Would you all do me a favor, not painting related. If anyone on this list, lives in the Boston area, or has visited Boston, could you contact me off list, need some insight on travel plans.
Thanks!

Looks like it has been awhile since anyone posted here, and since I see few New Englanders, and so far no Vermonters, I would like to expand the geography! Not a native (very important here), but resident for nearly 8 years. Moved from CT and have lived in a variety of places, but love the Carribean most of all!

Mostly grew up in the Farmington Valley - Canton and Avon (before they were so posh!), Married in Simsbury and lived in West Hartford for a number of years before moving here. My MIL still lives in Glastonbury and we have a handful of relatives in Waterbury/Watertown. Have not known too many folks from Enfield or Vernon, but on occasion through work, mostly.

I'm originally from Philly, Pennsylvania (a small town called Quakertown really), moved to Houston, Texas in 1979 with my parents (during the big boom) and now live in a small town outside Houston called Magnolia. I have been married to a wonderful man for 20 years (in July) and we have 4 absolutely wonderful children (they take after their dad!!!). Their ages are 18, 16, 14 and 11. My 18 year old is graduating in two weeks!!!!
