That is very kind of you, linMcHlp...
My postings are often too verbose for many people on this forum, and I get that completely...:)
I just enjoy writing about things-I have heard that to write in a way that can engage someone else, you should write about things you know of.
In my case, I have had a wonderful life. Just great. So I enjoy writing about the things I have seen and done, and FR, with its tolerant community (Yes...I DID say “Free Republic” and “Tolerant Community” in the same sentence!) is happy to let me post for anyone who has the time and/or inclination to read what I put out there.
It is why I come back, year after year.
