This is so fun to see everyone and how much we've all changed over the years - AND we stuck with the Plaza, whether it was alive or not!
@Winddancer Windy, I enjoy doing this so much. I've been volunteering most weeks for the past two years. I should have earned my 500 hours badge this month, but we've been shut down all this time with just a few Springs Preserve employees keeping up the gardens, animal welfare, and streaming teaching & informational videos.
@Veowyn, I'm so glad we've kept in touch over all these years! I remember the first photo of yourself you posted on the Plaza. I think you were 19 then (?). Now you're 30? Wow! Can you believe I turned 63 this year? I don't feel that old, but there you go! Our girls are now 26 and 33. The youngest (I sent you a photo today with the dog) joined the Plaza when she was 11 (got special permission from BB, since I was able to keep an eye on her). She was a Hobbit, but lost interest eventually. She enjoyed her time here though.
@Oro! You lived in Vegas the same time as me? I take it that means you were (are?) in the Air Force? I spent my formative years on the Plaza in Scotland and we moved back to the USA in 2012 to care for our aging parents. I cared for my mother in law for five years until she passed away. What does your wife think about you on the Plaza? My hubby thinks it's great, but he's not into creative writing so much. He's hilarious though.
@Karis Ziranphel, it's like we've never left the Plaza, eh? It's been great to keep in touch with you over all these years on Facebook. Your photos didn't come out too big. I just suggested sizes because sometimes you can't tell how big they are until they're posted and they can come out GIANT.
