GREETINGS & SALUTATIONS

Now is the time that I say hi to some of my friends. There are pictures and links with some of my family & friends. If you want me to add something just send it to my cippylou@yahoo.com address.

This picture is a bit old now but I like it anyway. Starting from left to right: Jimmy, Mandy, Me, & Wes at Victoria Park in London '98

These crazy and wonderful people (above and below) are my incredible ex-roommate Kerry and her husband Jon. I should be beaten with a large banana because it's been almost a year and I’ve yet to visit you in Sarnia so I've given you top billing on my greetings page. I love you Kerry – we consider you one of the family and I miss you so much. Even now as is sit in your old bedroom (now J-D’s playroom) I think of you.

Dan was my best friend for 14 years and I now know where I’d be without him. I’m happy that you’ve bought a home and have made a life with Amy. I miss our talks and your male point of view. I never replaced you and realized that with enough distance friendship can fade. I wish you only the best and all the happiness you can handle. Taken summer of 1999

Hey Brian, do you know how hard it was for me to find a picture of you that you weren't acting stupid in? Next time I point a camera your way, smile nice and give me a break. Brian is married to Kathleen (sorry I have no picture) and the father of Ashley & Andrew who I consider family. Thanks for just being yourself. Taken April of 2002.

Hey there Brent & Tony! I had to put you guys on here; I hope you don't mind. Brent you have the best parties and I'm looking forward to riding on your bike this summer. Tony, you were always a remarkable uncle to J-D and extremely generous to me. Even thou you and Mandy are no longer together I really enjoyed having you in our lives.

Laurie just be thankful that I didn't take a picture of you sleeping on the couch, it would have been awful. I know what you're thinking, and that's right, I'm just upset that you didn't crawl into bed with me. lol.

Hey Demetrios, what's up? I don't know what to say that won't inflate your ego and I'd hate for your head to explode. I want to thank you for helping me raise my standards and expectations. For helping me believe in myself and for always being there when I just need someone to listen without judging me.

To my awesome pen pal in Chile, Luis, I say congratulations on your degree and finishing school. When are you coming to Canada? I know the same could be said to me but I have a child and you don't so it would be much easier for you to come to me. I will try and send some recent pictures soon and who knows, maybe I will be able to send a video too? Love, Hugs, & Kisses!

Stephanie, Faith, & Kimberly, I've had the pleasure of spending most of a summer with you. Steph, I need to thank you for letting me be a part of Kim's first year, she's an awesome baby, you are very lucky. Keep me in mind for "Godmother", who knows, that may be the only way I end up with any more children.

To all my family in Sudbury & Sault Ste. Marie - I am counting the days until I visit over the Christmas holidays - get those cards ready. Hello to Aunt Debbie & Cousin Heather in Thunder Bay, and Jennifer & family in Ottawa. To Cousin Emily in Italy I want you to know it's always a pleasure to see you and I hope you & Andrea (sorry if I spelt that wrong) are very happy together. If I ever make it to Europe I'd love to visit. Oh and hello to my Uncle Ken in China, I miss you.

Hey there Jeff & Meg. I'm very excited about the party this weekend. I hope you get everything you want because you are one of the greatest people I know and no one deserves it more than you. I wish you only the best. Thanks for all the cards and board game nights - you really know how to make me feel like a loser! lol. Would it kill you to let me win even once?

Hiya to Sam, Stan, & Trystan (my cousins in London), I don't see you often enough and I don't have any recent pictures...what are you going to do about that?

Marco, I wanted to say it was great talking to you again after all these years and I really hope I will someday meet you if I ever make it to Italy.
Jennifer & Dave you need to send me a picture so I can add a better message on here for you. I am so glad that living together is working out well and that soon I will get to stand up with Jenn. When’s the wedding?

If I have forgotten to say hi to someone and you're pissed that I have neglected to include you, let me know and I will add a greeting as soon as possible.
