Hi Juliane, I am sorry--I probably came across as being pretty snotty! I truly didn't mean it that way. I was actually really excited to see that what I had written spread like wildfire through internetland, and I am glad you posted it. That is the problem with these kind of posting venues, or email--you don't have the added communication medium of tone of voice, facial expression, etc. Anyway, thanks again for posting it!! I honestly just thought, "hey, wow...someone liked what I wrote, so I'll tell them who I am."

It has been published in a regional magazine, in the May issue. You can see it at www.progressiverancher.com.

Have a fantastic day--oh, and my email is nevadasky77@yahoo.com if you ever want to get in touch. Seems like we are pretty darned like-minded! Take care,

Becky
