Awesome!!

Hi Friends,

I am mostly a lurker/reader, and not a post-er, but couldn't resist this time.

When I first joined FW, I made a couple of comments on one of Jan's great lessons. I said I was a beginner, an aspiring writer, and a retired grandmother; and that my goal was to disprove the adage,"You can't teach an old dog new tricks."

I have suceeded! Please note: On this topic, I tied (not once, but twice) with a PUP! My grandkids will be so proud.

Congrats, Jesus Puppy, I am honored, and I love your story.

Congratulations to all the rest of you. I am happy just to be among you.
