Oh my! I haven't been back here, and I'm sorry for that! Thanks for your welcome, for it's greatly appreciated. I have been enjoying exploring the site, splitting my time between bidding on ebay and investigating various topics here. I won eight books that should be exceedingly enjoyable, several of them with CDS, too, including three Morris Dance volumes!

A number of links have helped guide me places, which I've been storing in my Songs and Music folder in Favorites.

Capricorn! I am that! And, I have an affinity for unicorns. Just check out my ever-growing herd of mythical beasties on our knickknack shelves~unicorns, pegasi(?), alacorns, dragons, and even a hippocampus.

You know, it's too often that I become lost in some posts because I don't know what so many things mean~HTML included. I still haven't figured out blog, MNS (I think it is), and a hundred other things I've seen. It's going to take awhile for me to catch onto all of the jargon. I puzzled over LOL for several months before asking someone what it meant. Oh! I still don't get the sideways expression/symbols. Perhaps I should make a dictionary for myself.

Back to the warm welcomes: Thank you so much, everyone, for welcoming me to the site and offering patience, help and understanding. I have been too ill to go to events for a couple of years but hope to get to several in the fall. Can I make it all of the way to Fort Massac in Metropolis, Illinois? I did about three years ago and was inordinately proud of myself for not getting lost. Of course, I couldn't walk for a week, but it was worth it! I definitely will get to an event in Kinmundy, which is rather close; I actually did quite well in tips even when I didn't intend to. I had purchased some kettle corn, placing it in a metal bowl I carry. Before I knew it, the popcorn remnants had been joined by coins and bills! Several people laughed at my surprised expression. "You were having too much fun playing!" a lady told me. "You had quite an audience behind you." That was a most pleasant surprise. I didn't mind sorting through popcorn for money.

By the way, I play the bowed psaltery, which still seems to be a mystery instrument to most when I attend events. I spend more time explaining what it is than playing most of the time, so much so that I'd like to make up a sign explaining what it is so that I can get all of the way through a song. *giggle*

Once more: Thank you for welcoming me to this remarkable site!
