Bluebird, Smile, Dianne and Daisy, thank you for your generous words. It has been an awesome experience getting to know everyone better here this past month.

Dotsie informed me that this forum will still be available indefinitely, but I don't want it to overshadow or intrude on the incoming October Featured Author. So if there IS any further discussion on this, I'll be keeping it low-key and may look into transferring new posts to another forum.

But just in case anyone DOES post here, I'll be out of town for the next week or two. We're leaving tomorrow to go help hubby's daughter move into her new house in Montreal, but first we have to renovate her basement. I hope to get online from her computer once in awhile, but we're going to be quite busy, so I won't be here as much as I have over the past month! ...wonder if I'll go through withdrawal symptoms...

So if there are any more questions or afterthoughts posted here, and I don't respond right away, that's why.
