Hi, my name
is Phil Creer. Thanks for visiting my Toenail Ridge Shortline.
Garden Railways
have introduced me to friends all over the world via the Internet. We exchange
ideas and photos and jokes and admire each others work. The WorldWideWeb
and this hobby have created a Freemasonry of like minded people who, even
though most of us have never met face to face, and never will, have become
friends in the pleasure of a shared hobby.
Thanks to
JD, Bart, TDM, Gary, Ken, Ralf, Mac, Tiny, John, Chilli John, Jack, Reinhold,
Norm, Joe, Grant, Tony etc.etc.etc.
Special thanks
to my wife and life-partner, Kathy. She has a tag on her key-chain that
says "Pray for me. My husband collects trains!" How many wives would let
you buy a house just for the back-yard!
Kathy has
a deep and abiding interest in Genealogy, particularly of our family name

You have
already met
Jessie
,
she of the guerilla raids on the Ridge right-of-way. We have finally convinced
her that there are certain places in the yard that do
belong to her!
Jess
is an Australian cattle-dog, commonly called a blue-heeler, one of the
most intelligent
breeds
in the world. Originally they were bred as a cross between the kelpie and
the
Australian
native dog, the dingo. They muster and control cattle by nipping the rear
hooves ,
thus
called heelers. Their fur color is called 'marle', a mottled grey composed
of mixed very
white
and very black hairs. The black is SO black that in bright sunlight it
appears to be
a mid-night
blue, thus BLUE-heeler!
