Thank you all so much for your thoughtful welcome. My life has been especially hectic lately (raising TWO puppies when I'd only anticipated getting one puppy-!) as well as my shiny new relationship. I'm very glad to be here and honestly am overwhelmed by your acceptance. I look forward to reading the forum posts which should keep me busy for quite a while. As I read, I'll pop in with comments, questions and updates til I get caught up; I hope to post more this winter when my work hours are less demanding. Thanks again!
