 Hiya
 
 yes, other than CSG the groups mentioned here are young.
 
 I am an oldie, 5 1/2 yrs
 
 there are many groups even older than mine.
 
 Nitsa co-founder of CSG I believe joined under James D'alessandro  (who is no longer in coastal) who joined under me
 
 so you can see, we probably all have a related upline
  
 cheers
 maria porter

 Hi Maria,
 I think Bruce Ledgerwood signed under you, yes? If so, I signed up under him....actually under, under him - we're all connected eh?.....
 I lived in England for a couple of years as a young adult and when I read your posts it takes me there. Very fond memories!

 Hi Roger
 
 yes small world...Bruce is one of the most wonderful and caring people you will ever wish to meet.
 
 ...where in England, I come from the west country around Bath. I lived in Bristol before moving to Dallas 17.5 yrs ago.
 
 talking genealogy....I am actually 3 away from Al
 
 I am astonished at just how popular coastal has become. When I joined coastal there were only 3 directors on the internet  and I was one of them...
 
 cheers
 Maria

 Hiya Terri
 
 you bet it feels like more...
 
 and so many spanish speaking sites
 
 but you know the internet is huge, you just have to do something different to stick out
 
 yes I have to say Bath is lovely. We went to Scotland and the Lake district last yr and that area is also spectacular.
 
 I am having a lot of family coming over at the end of May....10 of them, so that will be interesting...
  
 Great to hear from you, we will have to meet soon
 
 cheers
 maria

 You're not kidding Maria, I was going to call him Bruce "Generouswood" instead but I stopped saying that when he started calling me "Patooo"
 
 hehehe....
 
 I lived in London, specifically Streatham (aka St. Reatham!) but I worked in the west end, in fact one of the bombs that went off in the terrorist attack was literally just outside Tavistock House near Euston station where I worked. I literally jumped out of my couch when I recognized the building where the shattered bus was sitting idle, it freaked me out.....I spent a lot of time in Lyme Regis in Dorset, as you know a beautiful part of the country.....Bristol's a nice place!

 Hiya
 
 Terri that would be great, my treat!
 
 Roger, Dorset is beautiful, my sis lives in Poole, Dorset and my younger brother lives in Tavistock, Devon (close to Plymouth)
 home of Sir Francis Drake
 
 yes it certainly is a small world.....
 
 we were in Monte Carlo, (WHAT a place) heard some American's talking, so we asked one lady if she minded taking our picture....
 she said not on your nelly....
 
 just kidding there to make it interesting, actually she said yes,
 she was from Dallas (but lives in Monte Carlo most of the time I think) and is the owner of The Texas Land And Cattle steak restaurants (Terri you know them I am sure)....
 
 I will have to try and find that picture
 
 a very small world indeed
 
 cheers
 maria

 Quoting: ibizniz The Texas Land And Cattle steak restaurants
 
 Oh yes, the Texas land and cattle steakhouse, not to make anyone hungry but picture this, a mesquite smoked sirloin (Texas size) and a Texas sized margarita.......
  
 They have, I think about 21 locations.
 
 Did you sell them a package Maria??
  
 Terri

 To clarify that point as I see how it reads from my post, the attacks happened 10 years after I left England, I just recognized the building when I saw it on TV.

 Hello Roger...
 
 still it's an odd feeling when you recognize a place after an awful incident.
 
 I have pictures of myself sitting in the windows of the world restaurant...
 
 they give me chills now...
 
 And Terri, I actually didn't think of mentioning coastal to her....the lady is megarich....
 
 Have you been to Monaco?
 
 An amazing place...just like they show it on TV
 
 cheers
 
 maria

 No I haven't been there but sure would love to visit Monaco one day.
 
 First I have to pay IRS $6k than sell more packages and than Monaco, I guess in that order.
