You`re welcome Brian and thanks for thinking of me (I guess) whenever you see the billboard.
More specifically, and to remove any point that may be misconstrued (lol), I think of SuN and your success story...such an encouraging story...thanks

Hi y`all,
Updated my profile yesterday and posted in Tuesday Cooking Class today. Would love some feedback.
That pen is beautiful...what a piece of art!!! Don`t know if I could ever own something so beautiful...I would be afraid to touch it...I would have to glass case that baby!!!
Your kitty is sooooo sweet...we have recently ended up with a stray that looks just like it!!!
Anyway...lovely pictures...thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for the kind words, Leah! (Little plug here: I make my pens to be used for a lifetime, then as heirlooms, at all price points. Don`t want to scare you or anybody else away.)
Looked at your pictures and fell in love with both your "inspirations." God bless you. How about a shot of your stray kitner?
Is that Mount Hood? Back when I still had a reporter`s legs, I trudged up the side of Mt. St. Helens during the eruption, looking for and interviewing survivors (west slope -- mudslides). Most surprising: Two old coots, brothers, who lived in a shack and refused to move, even with the ground shaking and boiling under them. When I found them, they were calmly pulling bent nails out of scrap wood to use as fire kindling!
LOL...yep...Mt Hood! That picture is from one of the hills just up the road from me!
I would sooooo put a pic of the new addition to our front porch if I could get it to stay still long enough to take it! Every time I get down to take its picture it gets too close to the camera cuz it wants to snuggle! Really cute though! I am going to be taking it to the humane society here in the next few weeks to get it checked out and probably fixed...wouldn`t want any additional strays! Seriously...not quite as filled out...but just about identical to yours!
WOW...hiked up Mt. St. Helens after all that! Sheesh! I went up there last summer for the official opening of the Johnson Center (the closest center to the actual mountain). It was truly amazing. Of course it was questionable at the time whether or not we would have that center open for very long since she was all a-sputter. After growing up on the east coast and having nothing but hurricanes, snow and ice storms and tornados to deal with....minus the destruction of course...I was kind of looking forward to my first volcano erruption! 
"Filled out" is a kind way to describe our kitty.
Actually, it was during the first eruption. Second day. More ambition than brains! Stay away from eruptions if you can.
Yeah, the pen is beautiful and so is your kitty.
Leah, I`m sure not looking forward to an eruption (mountain type that is) and I hope Mt. Bachelor doesn`t blow it`s top.
