Hey Everybody!!

I am so far behind on replies to all your great posts here. I promise, though, that I will get caught up. It masy take a day or two...but I will catch up!

I'd like to thank all of you who have so generously and willingly replied to this and the other topics I have put out for discussion. I was hoping for a nice rersponse...but never anticipated anything like this! I am amazed and thrilled with so many wonderful and heart-warming replies. It is no exaggeration what-so-ever for me to say that you guys and gals are truly an interesting and well-spoken group of folks. As I read each reply, I find myself totally engrossed and overwhelmed by your generous sharing of experiences. What a talented and inspiring bunch you are. And I mean that sincerely.

Between the avatar pictures and the exchanges we have enjoyed on this and many other threads, I think we are getting to know each other so much better. And we are, I am convinced, becoming more and more a tight-knit community and family of artists and Just Plain Folks.

Thanks so very much for your participation,. You guys and gals have some really awesome stoies and experiences to tell. This has been incredibly educational, as well as entertaining. Five, that's right...count them...5 big shiny Gold Stars to all of you! [color:#FFCC00]* * * * * [/color]

PS: The guy in the window in my avatar...he looks quite a bit like me, but I'm not quite that good looking.
