Here's some pics of me and kagehime in New York City and back home in Pine Plains...

[Danger Mouse]

I've got an account on Flickr now, so I've a means to post some of the MANY pictures I took on our trip. Here's just a few. If there's interest in them, I'll post more as time goes on. I'm sure Sara has some she wants to post herself. Yesterday was our last day together for now. It was very hard to see her go :cry: :cry:
But we're planning our next trip already. This time, I would be going out to see her. OOh...never been out west before.
I can't express with words how much I love this woman. She's wonderful...and gourgeous...what she's doing with a shaved ape like me I'll never know ;)
Hope everyone enjoys the pictures.

Here's Sara making dinner with my little sister, Ariel


Another picture of Sara with Ariel


Sara and I at McSorley's...seriously drunk.


Aww...isn't she cute?


Museum of Natural History


Again with the Museum of Natural History. One of my favorite pics of my love.


The Thompson Pond Nature Preserve in Pine Plains. Miles of spooky forest and swamp. Fun!


I really like this picture. Also from Thompson Pond.

[lizziegrace]

1. Awww...

:hug: to you both. :)

[Danger Mouse]

2. Thank you so much!

We're both very happy...and already looking forward to our next visit!

[liberaldemocrat7]

38. Very nice :)

That last picture looks like a huge stalk of asparagus LOL

[La Lioness Priyanka]

3. aww!

[Danger Mouse]

5. Hey DU Ruiner...

My little sister, especially, was taken with Sara.
Who could blame her?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear Elrond Hubbard!

These are terrific pictures!

And there's no way I'd ever get tired of seeing them, OK?

You two look so damn happy...

I love the pic of her standing in front of that big stone whatever it is thingy...

Stunning photo!

Thank you for sharing, and keep 'em coming!

:bounce: :bounce:

[Danger Mouse]

8. We ARE damn happy...and then some.

Thank you.
I'm glad to share the pictures. They mean a lot to me, because they're an integral piece of my memories of those days. I also want to thank you, and the Lounge. The support and encouragement that everyone has given us has meant the world to me.

[Shell Beau]

6. Very nice!! The kitchen looks so cozy!!

:)

[Danger Mouse]

10. It is. We had it redone last year, and it has a very nice

'country kitchen' feel to it. I can't say how wonderful it made me feel, seeing my beloved cooking a meal with my adorable little sister.
Let's just say...I was very happy. :D

[Shell Beau]

11. Awww! so sweet!

I do love that kitchen! And the other pics are very nice!

[Danger Mouse]

13. I'm a big sappy fool.

And this thread will probably embarass kagehime if/when she manages to see it. Probably not till this evening. :evilgrin:

[Left Is Write]

7. What beautiful pictures!

Very sweet.

[Danger Mouse]

14. Thank you!

:hi:
She's a wonderful, and beautiful, woman.

[skygazer]

9. Great pics

I especially like that second one with Ariel - very cute. :hi:

[Danger Mouse]

12. Ariel is far from camera shy, what can I say?

:hi: She's a natural when it comes to having her picture taken.

[Fran Kubelik]

15. Ooooooooooh

:hug:
That is so sweet. I am really happy for you both.

[Danger Mouse]

20. Thank you!

:D

[lost-in-nj]

16. Wonderful pictures

Glad you 2 had a great time.....

I'm sorry your sad.... :(

but you will see her again!!!!!

:hi: :hi:

you both look so happy.

lost

[Danger Mouse]

18. I can't wait to see her again! and that keeps me happy...

we're looking at December.
I'd love to spend the holidays with her... :D

[RFKHumphreyObama]

17. Wow! You both look great and so do the places you visited

Glad you've found true love and good luck with everything that goes with it. Great pics -I especially like the ones with Kagehime and your sister

[Danger Mouse]

19. Thank you...I love those pictures too.

Glad she got the little sister seal of approval ;)
The moment I saw her, and held her in my arms for the first time...I didn't stop smiling after that...inside, if not outside.

[VenusRising]

21. So cute!

I love the picture of you two holding a beer in each hand. That's Lounge love right there!!

I'm glad you had a lovely time together.

:hi::hug:

[Danger Mouse]

22. Haha...thank you very much...

and for the record, we both got completely trashed. McSorley's beer...it's cheap, it's good, and it goes down easy.

[SPKrazy]

23. Go West young man!

great pics Elrond

glad you two had a great time and hit it off, I knew you would :D

You'll see each other again before you know it...

:hug:

[Danger Mouse]

25. I'll go wherever she is.

The prospect of leaving the East Coast scares me...
but if it's to be with her, I'll do anything to make it work.
Thanks for your support, you're a good friend to Sara. :hug:

[SPKrazy]

41. hey...

you two are a cute couple and I'm glad you get along

the west east south north, doesn't matter... if you are with someone you love it will be fine.

:hug:

[Danger Mouse]

44. true, that.

if i'm with her...i'll be happy.
it'll be tough for both of us, since in the end, one or both of us will have to make a move.
not a decision to be taken lightly.
however, if i move there or she moves here, i'll be happy either way.
that's in the future. one step at a time, of course.

[wildhorses]

24. thanks for sharing!!

that kitchen is awesome :wow:

:hi:

[Danger Mouse]

26. You like our kitchen? Glad to hear it. I like it, too!

:)
So, does our love story meet your approval? ;)

[wildhorses]

27. best channel on du --

:applause:

[Danger Mouse]

28. aww...you're a sweetheart...

you should've seen it, when we parted yesterday, it was like a corny movie scene...she was getting on the train, we were both crying, we were kissing as the conductor said 'Last call! etc.'...
It was so sappy... :cry: :cry:

[wildhorses]

39. ole gregg would be so proud!!

:cry:

;)

where's a box of kleenex when ya need it?

[Danger Mouse]

43. she said that the fact that i took her into a swamp

only serves as proof that i am really old gregg in disguise.
she knows my secret...

[Danger Mouse]

29. kick for sara...

so she sees it. :D

[fizzgig]

I am truly happy for you both. I look forward to meeting you, Elrond, but Dad comes first 'cuz he is much scarier than I am :evilgrin:

Thank you for making my dotter smile like I have never seen her :hug: YOU ROCK!

[Danger Mouse]

42. Sara keeps telling me about him and she's making me scared already...

:scared: does she like making me paranoid or what? :P
Thank YOU for being so supportive, as always.
She makes me incredibly happy.

[laylah]

45. All I can say is...

be afwaid, be vewwwwwwwwwwwy, vewwwwwwwwwy, afwaid. Why do you think I am in Illinois? :rofl:

[fizzgig]

48. i think hana might be scarier

she scares the crap outta me sometimes...she might eat him alive :P

[Danger Mouse]

50. eat me...alive...wouldn't you save me?

or would you just hand her the salt and say 'enjoy'? :scared:

[fizzgig]

[Danger Mouse]

55. she would eat us both?

[Kajsa]

61. Elrond, these are great pictures!

Again, thanks for the PM so I didn't miss them!

You and Kagehime look so happy together.
Your little sister is a doll.;-)

Both you and Kagehime look great!
You do not look like an ape!
Cut that out , right now.:P

The Museum of Natural History is a place I'd like to visit,
along with Thompson's Pond. That last pic is a great
composition.

I am so happy you had a great week together.

Yes, parting is such sweet sorrow :cry: but before
you know it, it'll be time for your next trip together.

I love you both to pieces.

[Danger Mouse]

69. You're just jealous.

You want Sara all to yourself but you can't have her so nyah. :P

[noamnety]

74. Pine Plains?!

By stissing mountain? That pine plains?

[Danger Mouse]

75. Yeah. The one and only. Familiar with it?

[noamnety]

76. I grew up in stanfordville.

so we were bussed to Pine Plains for high school. :)

[Danger Mouse]

77. Wow! That's awesome! A fellow denizen of Standstillville/Pine Plains!

So, when was this, about?

[noamnety]

78. ohh boy, let's see

That would have been about 1970 to 1980 (1st to 10th grade).

I never heard it called standstillville, that's funny.

[Danger Mouse]

79. ah, i see...before my time...i didn't move to pine plains till the late 80's...

we're currently battling the evil of....DEVELOPERS!
ah, us and our backwards ways we are so determined to hold onto...

[cwydro]

81. great pics!

I love the museum and forest pics especially.

[Danger Mouse]
