Oh Mary/vectis, good! Youa re welcome. I am so happy that you are enjoying it! I looked at copies of the original of that book and boy, they were a bit pricey. I felt really fortunate to have found out that Mystic Seaport has issued the reprint in paperback. If I'd had the dosh, it would have been one of the old hardbacks, though.**bg**

The cards were funny. I went to the local "feed" store to pick up some dog food and those just kind of leapt out at me. Somehow, it seemed the connection between sea shanties and cowboy roping knots was so Mudcat. (Plus, they come from my fmaily's ranching background, too.:-)

We have had a wonderful day, here, too. Thanks for your good wishes!

Now that the day has come and gone, I have to "out" my Santa and say

THANK YOU RUSTIC REBEL!!! Everyone is just enthralled with my "Double Image" and all the rest that you sent. Just wonderful!
