Thanks for visiting and reading.<br /><br />Thanks, Sandy! I had fun writing about the feisty cow.<br /><br />Sherry, there are so many interesting facets to life. I have to put a lot of them in. Carl's light heart hasn't been spoiled too much by his experiences, but he's surely glad to be home! In some ways, he's a reflection of me. I've seen a good deal of grief in my life, but my outlook remains positive. Having a rich life background really helps a writer reach down deep and pull those emotions to the surface when they are needed.<br /><br />Wow! Thank you Mirriam! I'll certainly take a nice kudo like "amazing". :-)Marsha Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15389060049107102815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31428247.post-72635633778965410982011-10-15T18:32:14.927-07:002011-10-15T18:32:14.927-07:00The conversations and details in each of these Sat...The conversations and details in each of these Saturdays samples have been amazing.
