Hello everyone of old,
I thought I would drop back in for a visit after an absence of several
years.  I perused the archives and see a lot of the gang is still here.
  I also see that you guys are still running folks off with a vengeance.
:) I'll try to lurk and not wear out my welcome, but you guys know that
lurking is not my forte.  I'm one of the original Tvo harpies, and damn
proud of it.  "Our leader" will live on in my heart, as well as
cyberspace for many years to come.  It seems only fitting that Tvo would
transcend his physical body and become immortal, doesn't it?
Anyway, the kids are grown and gone now, and Ron and I have become empty
nesters.  I'm not sure how much of a homesteader I am anymore-but I
still have chickens and rabbits, still garden, and still live in the
same rickety old house.  The last few years have been transitional, to
say the least.  I won't bore you with the details unless you guys are so
bored with politics and other non-homesteading topics that you need a
diversion from the norm. ;)
It's good to see you all again...

Bev
