Oh, thank you - I've really enjoyed deciphering that - I bet Cassy did, too all those years ago:) I love the illustration!
What FUN! Welcome home! Cathy
This is so cool!
I'm posting this on Clickety-Clack right off.
I love your new Header Image by the way.

What fun but difficult to get the hang of reading to start with. Good to see you are back. I try to open your other blog and get a virus message each time.
Hugs en groetjes ~
