I know, Jo. It's flying by. Posting the first BoB contenders last year does not seem that long ago.

I'm sure the world is turning faster these days.

She certainly is. Now we just need to see a few more old timers back in action on a weekly basis . . .

I wish we could tag people in posts in the forums. Would make it so much easier to communicate with them. :lol: Same with being able to LIKE their posts.

Love Anne's writing talents. Her stories are fabulous! I'll try not to covet. :lol: She and many of the "old timers" inspired me to become like the little engine that could...I think I can...I think I can...I think I can...And someday maybe.... :roll:

Welcome back, and keep inspiring us.

I know this is almost impossible to believe, but we are coming down the home stretch for this year's Best of the Best awards. There are only a handful of topics left to be in the running.

You've got to be in it to win it.

Glad to hear it, Jo. I'm just stunned that we are so close to the end of another 12 months of the Challenge. Where did that hear go?
