Please tell us a little more about yourself. What is your favorite C's song and album? Did you ever see them in concert? Do you have any of the original fan club memorabilia? |

Thank you for the warm welcome!
I am, indeed, a huge Carpenters fan. I've followed the Carpenters since first hearing them on the radio in 1970. I never got to see them in concert.
As for me, right now I'm trying to land on my feet after my move to Kansas. There are still moving boxes cluttering up the house and I can't find anything, yet.
Growth and opportunity!! Ya gotta love it!
As for my favorite Carpenters album... I don't have one. I truly like each and every song. There is a depth and layering to be examined in each album the C's put out. As they developed and matured in their music, I grew with them. I find that there is a song or a set of songs for whatever mood you want (happy, sad, a good love song, etc.).
I only wish I had something from the original fan club. I missed the boat on all things tangible, except the albums. I feel blessed to be in the company of those of you who have seen the Carpenters live or have other personal connections to/with them. Thank you for sharing your experiences with me and the others of this site.

This is great! I've always gained knowledge and inspiration reading your insights and perspectives and I'm sure everyone's enjoyment and practical use of the site will be enhanced by your continued and growing presence. We pray also that your adjustment to the new home in Kansas goes well. Leaving southern Indiana (I love Brown County) has to be tough, especially with half the family still there.

Thank you, Tim, for your support. I'm happy to know that you are just a 'shout out' away. I'm always looking forward to your posts and ideas.
ps11932 You've always given my thoughts and ideas a warm reception. For that, I am grateful. I am equally interested in what you contribute, too.
GoodOldDreams This is the meaning of my sign in name...
wisejester7 is a combination of 3 concepts-
wise: possessing discernment, judgment, or discretion; learned
jester: a person who is given to witticisms, jokes, and pranks
7: associated with Divine completion and perfection.
The first 2 (wise and jester) are seemingly contradictory, but they actually go together. I use them together to remind me not to take myself too seriously. Each person has value, whether they are perceived as a fool (jester) or a wise person.
The 7 is to put my life in perspective. Every time I see 'wisejester7' , I am reminded to keep God close. I am the foolish, learned person, but God is the only answer I really need.
Kinda of preachy, but that is what my 'name' means.
enigma I used to use that name! Thank you for the "happy" welcome!
It makes my heart lighter to be able to share my thoughts with such nice people.

Hello and THANK YOU to Beth and smoothie2 for the warm wishes.
It is quite a pleasant place we have here, isn't it?
I've been back revisiting the forum "etc. and more..." trying to learn more about 'us'. Going back and re-reading old posts helps me understand who we are and where we've been. There is a fount of wisdom in our collective life journeys. I'm glad to call all of you my friends.
