Newbie turns WACKO - 03/11/00 09:42 PM

Finally! Attaining this Wacko status has been almost as obsessive as finding some of the illusive LE's! We began collecting HL's in September '98 and have really enjoyed this forum. I enjoy reading your posts and have learned a lot about lighthouses and collecting.

Our vacations now include lighthouses and HL dealer's and it's a hobby my husband and I both share. Quite an accomplishment after 32 years of marriage! This shared hobby has several advantages - like shopping in the Hallmark stores, deciding what HL to buy next, giving each other HL's for gifts, etc.

It has been so much fun following map directions to lighthouses. Like turn left at the schoolhouse (which no longer exits) and right at the blue house (which is now painted a different color).

Well now I can officially put my order in for two WACKO pins......and that's my final answer!

Congratulations Niagralady. As is our custom here, tomorrow will be your day to bring the donuts. I know most of us southerners like Krispy Kream donuts.

Way to go Niagralady! I like the idea of donuts but need to count calories so how you get to treat with a small something like . . . THUMBNAILS all around?

Ok, ok - it's donut day.
Treats from me - you won't have to pay!
Krispy Kreme and Peanut sticks
So take your pick ......

Now that comes with a side of:
Buffalo Chicken Wings (the best!!!!) and
Beef on Weck with a pitcher of draft - and a special treat of Sponge Candy - yummy.

Keep the above specialties in mind when visiting western NY (Buffalo, Ft. Niagara and 30-Mile Pt.) and just across the border from a distance - Pt. Abino.

Thanks for your Wacko Welcome!

Welcome to Wackodom, Niagara Lady & hubby!
We started our HL collection 9/98 too. The hunt for both the HLs & real lights is fun as a team. Hope we get a chance to get upstate someday to see your "New York" lights.

Welcome Niagara Lady! My husband knows I'm a "wacko" for HL but he also enjoys them as well. He grew up in Catskill, NY and loves all our Hudson River lights. He keeps those in his office

I would also like to welcome the Niagralady to the eerie halls of wackodom. May your light always shine bright. From the land of pleasant living and the best blue crabs in the world.
