Thanks for the warm welcome and for the kind words, everyone! I have just been reading some of the posts and I am getting those happy goose bumps! There are folks from *really* all over the USA AND elsewhere* on this board NY, TX, NC, GA, WA, CA, on and on - even England and Ireland.. How cool is that.. and everyone so-oo kind, and I know that I didn't get very far. So much to read and learn; I am getting very excited.. --Hi to Charla in Sherwood! [I am in Beaverton] :) [yipee]
