Doesn't surprise me a bit- Merry Christmas Killie from the other side of the mountains.

Well she's OK, but I'm still waiting for a compillation of her works to read on a day when the weather says "Stay indoors by the fire!"

[Pinecone]

Way to go, Killie!  And from one self-confirmed, unapologetic bawler to another, let it flow, Gal!  Good emotions and good energy are what it's all about!

Merry Christmas and Wonderous Tidings...

Killy knows that she can pull up a chair, stump, or anything she want's to sit on at my camp fire anytime she wants.  When I first met Killy, my first thoughts were, man you do not want to $#@* this lady off.....and I was RIGHT.....lol. A true and very traditional lady is she and a pleasure to be around.   YOU GO GIRL

[JAG]

Killie, is one of a kind.  Hope to meet her someday.  Her writings are, how to say it, Inspiring!
Kathy thanks for lighting up my part of the Traditional World!

[hormoan]

I sit hear before the keys, with out a clue. Killie is beyond compare,    
Thanks for your sharp wit, and most of all your perspective on life. Many of us would do well with your view.    Least you are here to steer us clear.

[Swamp Pygmy]

nice as can be. The kind that even rubs off on other people.

I've always been impressed with Killie myself and just gotta say Killie you sure can write purdy!

[Whip]

Killie really is an example of the essence of Trad Gang, both with her generosity and enchanting writing.  Someday I hope we will meet, but until then, I sure enjoy sharing a fire here with her  

[Larry Surtees]

She is quite the person, and it wouldn't be the same on this site without her wisdom and often times humorous comments -- ya just gotta love it!

[paleFace]

Trad Gang would def be a different place without Killie!  Thanks for being a part of it all.        

[LeeNY]

Kathy's a great person and I'm proud to call her Friend!

[Linc]

Yep. I agree Lee. Kathy is good people and definately a good friend.      

[Doc Nock]

GEeze guys... ya make me feel weird inside...like I'm reading a eulogy or somethin!      :eek:  

I dont think I could take a visit to B'more without a Killie Fix! Emails don't compare when ya tease that gal and get the "hairy eyeball"

I know I'm in big trouble when I throw one out there, get the eyeball, and in the background, her hubby, Clark, scooting away in the other direction!    Ruh-roh

That gal does have a tender heart and a giving nature about her... watched her take a passle of young folks under wing few years back at B'mo and take them woods walks and shared her boundless knowledge of flaura and fauna to fill their heads with the magic of nature!

You go girl! Obviously, you touch a lot of lives in your wanderings... Thanks for including us!

Kathy is a true original, one of the brightest lights here. Love to read her posts for the sharp humour and the thought stirring comments that often leave me with more than a few questions.

Thanks for the help over the years with my questions Kathy. Also, the poem is great. I see the need for a certain picture to go with it.

[owlbait]

Great sense of humor and ready to say something nice when everyone else is giving you heck. Always nice to have Killie add to a post. Merry Christmas Killie.
