Carrie Smith: I have not disappeared completely. My health hasn't been the best and seems I have had one thing or another to deal with. My oldest son has just been in ICU after a severe blow to his head resulting in a brain bleed. We are praying there will be no lasting results. Although not posting, I am trying to get back to doing some reviewing. Miss FanStory and my friends.


Carrie Smith: I will up and running again soon, all my friends!
    DIS-illusioned: Take your sweet time; we'll be here waiting--eagerly. -


Carrie Smith: I just put up a new profile picture, but it's not showing it. What's up with that???
    adewpearl: Yes, I change my profile picture often, and there is always that long wait. -


Carrie Smith: Life at the lake is hard work!!


Carrie Smith: Just had to put this picture here of my grandson and his young family. They are so dear to me. Okay, okay I'm besotted with that little one, Mary Ava!
    Jmf4119: They are a beautiful family. You have a right to be besotten with little Mary Ava. Happy Spring Susan.

    Carrie Smith: I have a question/answer conversation going on with another friend here on site. She compared Cary Grant saying "Judy, Judy, Judy" to Susan, Susan, Susan(my real name) Grant never actually said that on screen, but attributed the phrase to Storch when he impersonated him. How do I fit in there? Any Ideas - all in fun. She has me googling at 6:00 a.m. this morning!!!
