Hi Linda! (Um, it *is* Linda, right? LOL -- I got most the faces matched up with the online names, but then getting the RL names in proves to be an additional challenge! And which do you prefer to be called here?) Yes, I was thrilled to meet you, too -- thanks again for all your niceness. Glad you enjoyed the report, and I certainly enjoyed yours (haven't commented yet -- truth to tell, I've been overwhelmed keeping up with the comments here). I definitely want to see you again next year, and with all this correspondence going on, I have already lost most the shyness and I'm feeling well-acquainted with everyone! Amazing, huh? Guess if I'd posted to the lists to begin with, I could have avoided a lot of anxiety.

How cool that you did belly dancing! Next time we'll have to compare notes. Actually, next time I want to dance for everybody -- now *that's* an ice-breaker.

I was browsing through your journal just now, and wow -- I'm impressed at all that you accomplish. How many horses do you have, and how much acreage?

*Hugs*
