    Thanks for the invite, Scott! It's great to meet you. I love the "American Gothic" look, by the way !

    I'll be back for some gardening tips when I have more time to actually grow something other than dry weeds (and not the type that you can sell).

    Take care!

    Hey Scott, after all the notes about your website, I just had to go check out the haunted 'puter. Looks like some good stuff. I was also intrigued because my cousins live in Boone (her husband is dean of the college there - the Greene's?). I'd not yet seen photos. You'd be awed at the gardens here - I couldn't believe how huge vegies grow in the few months of summer in Alaska, but with midnight sun, they are truly humongous. Some of my husband's family came here when they transplanted farmers from Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the Dakotas, to farm the Matanuska Valley. Now I see why. Unfortunately, moose find our garden just before we harvest it, but in the Valley - oh boy - had to see it to believe it. Anyway, thanks for the invite.

    Thanks ever so for the friends add, Scott!
    Your photo amuses me no end- not a friend of Mary Saums are you?
    I'll be on the lookout for your books.
    I am a stubble jumper from WAY back- you can take the girls out of the prairies- etc.

    Hey! I am newt, slithering from the shallow end of the gene pool, into the open ocean. Sharks are likely to eat me before the salt water kills me, but who wants a quiet life?

    Hi Scott, I spoke with Eric Enck. I guess we have a mutual friend. Very nice guy.

    He told me that 1 out of 50,000 people get in with the big publishers. I'll cross my fingers that your next book will be that "one."

    All the best to you,

    Worshipping my cat, of course. Sadly, it's too chilly up here in New England to run around skyclad. And you?
