I haven't seen Steve around in a while now, but I wanted to let him know that when I went on my pack trip into the WY mts., my red knitted hat went with me. We slept in tents, and the first morning we woke up it was 32 degrees. :o The second morning it was 28, and the third morning it was 34. We ate our breakfast wearing very nearly every item of clothing we brought, and my red hat was my pride and joy. So , Steve, it was not only a jaunty little petit chapeau, it was a lifesaver! Many thanks to you for your talents and generosity. ;) I don't have any pictures of me hovering around the campfire trying to get warm, but I wish I did so he could see the hat in action!

I think we would all enjoy seeing your camping pictures.
Where is Steve anyway?

Yeah, I've been wondering about Steve myself.
Where has he been ???
Jan

I know ..... maybe he has been knitting more nice warm hats! :D Seriously though, I have been concerned about his whereabouts, as well. Can anyone fill us in?

He has been on facebook occ so not missing in action! Cheryl R

Here are more pictures than you could possibly want to look at, but I am too lazy to edit it down. So just suffer through all of them if you choose to open the link!

Thanks, Cheryl.
I'm not on facebook, so don't see him there.
As a moderator for the ANA, isn't he "required" to show up here routinely ???
Beautiful pictures, Priscilla - the scenery is gorgeous!

Priscilla .....
What a spectacular adventure!! Good for you ...... and gorgeous pictures, as well.

Anne Marie, I am happy to report that it was the other cowgirl who needed the manicure, but my hands weren't much better! There was no running water, so after the guys had washed dishes in the evening, my friend and I would use the dishwater to wash our hands before they threw the soapy water on the fire. When we got back to the ranch, I had the second best shower in my life. The first best was on another adventure w/the same friend, 40 years ago. Long story... ;)

Although Steve Garrard has not posted since August 1st we know he still logs onto the forums. A moderator is not 'required' to post. Our other moderator, Joe, lurks but only posts occasionally, yet we consider him an effective moderator. Even self-described 'ANA Forum Policewoman' Phyl, a normally energetic poster (over 6,000 posts since 2005) has been forced to curtail her posting a bit due to the demands of her new job. It happens. I'm still around and post often, perhaps too often for some people's tastes. I can't help it, I've always been garrulous. :)
Frankly, we have no idea what Steve's current situation is. We assume he is O.K. and, perhaps, simply taking a hiatus from posting. We await his next message and, we hope, some sort of update on what's happening with him. One thing is certain: Steve's contributions are sorely missed around here.

I hope you didn't think that I was implying that Steve wasn't fulfilling his moderator's duties :o NOT my intention at all.
Just wondered where he was, and how he was doing - and also like you, I miss his contributions.

I personally think Steve is taking a hiatus from knitting hats, hey are you reading this Steve?
Hope all is well with Steve-I think he's good.
Maggie,
Loved the pics! The one with your horse sticking her tongue out was great, and the rainbow pics, the mountains, lakes, nature, horses, etc.
You are going to make some people jealous, but that is OK- you deserve it. Keep enjoying the retirement life :)

Awesome, pics, Priscilla! Everything but the sleeping in tents (and catching and eating fish) looks like great fun ;D What a beautiful part of the country...would love to see it one day.
I've also been missing Steve and his words of wisdom and wit...

Time for my monthly post, I guess. :-[
I am fine, although I had a little incident last week in which a stranger walked into my house while I was sleeping and stole my wallet and cell phone and house keys. As you can imagine, that has been nothing but fun. The good news is that my new cell phone is an iPhone!
I have dropped in looking around for trouble, but have not been posting much at all lately. Some things in my life have been changing the last six months, and I don't seem to have as much spare time - at least it feels that way.
I should be dropping in more often now, I think. No new hats getting knit, though. I'm not sure if that will start up again or not.
The pack trip looks great, Priscilla.

Hey, Steve, good to see you ;D
Weird story about the stranger. Was your house unlocked? or did he break in?
My life's been changing recently too - and not really for the better :P
Hopefully things will turn around quickly.
Personally I think you should continue with the hats, as I'm still impressed that you learned how to knit them ;D

STEVE!!
So happy to see you here!! Sorry about the stranger danger - that stinks! However, good news about the iPhone - I LOVE mine! Do you play Words With Friends? Clarice and I play all the time - even though she always SMOKES me! Check it out...I am "Kaybo!" - it's a free app if you don't have it!

You're safe.... you're hanging in there... and you've been missed! :-*

Steve!! :o ::)
We have missed you and your gentle humor! Hope all is well and all the pesky business w/the theft gets cleared up. Locks have been changed, haven't they? As Pooh Bear would say. "Bother!" Nobody needs that kind of aggravation.
If you are busy, just poke your head in and say hi every now and then so we don't have to worry :). Then you can get back to the wonderful world of apps and other such gadgets.

Yaaaaaaay, Steve is back to posting. Sorry about the break-in ...... cannot imagine the terror that would bring.
And, congrats on the IPhone ...... I love mine and let me know if you get Words With Friends and want to start a game ....... BTW I do NOT smoke Kay every time! ::)
Clarice

Well, hello, Steve! Were your ears burning and you figured out it was your AN friends talking about you? Good to see you - hope the changes in your life are good ones :)
Cindy

Hi STEVE!!!!
Thanks for posting. I'm so sorry about your break in-what an inconvenience, and a scare! But the new iphone is a plus. ;D
I recently got the Sprint EPIC 4G phone (one of the androids). It's all greek to me! My work is requiring us to use our personal cell phones, which I don't think is a great idea, but I get a HUGE discount with sprint, our carrier, and a monthly reimbursement (very small, don't work much). Win win situation.
I'll look into the words with friends app, Clarice and Kay.
Forget the book club, lets start the words with friends club!!!!
Take care Steve, maybe we'll catch up at Portland meeting (?). Need to show off my moving cheek muscle!

Hi, Steve ~
Good to see you post again. We were getting a bit concerned, as you know, but we knew you were 'lurking', so we weren't too worried, just curious. Now, that curiosity has been satisfied and I'm glad that all is (relatively) well.
Of course, the break-in must have been unnerving as well as highly inconvenient - but at least you got an i-phone out of it!
It was very generous of you to undertake your 'knit hat project' but if time doesn't allow you to keep knitting and sending them out, I think everyone will understand.
We're all looking forward to seeing more of your posts, more often, now. Oh, and not to worry, your seat on the ANA Moderator's Lear Jet remains secure. ;)
Jim

Oh no, so sorry about you getting robbed. That's scary and it's just such a big hassle. But i'm glad you got an iphone.
Good to see you again. I've not been around too much either. I hope you do come back more regularly, because we miss yout posts.
