OK, for all of you folks that DO read this blog occasionally I'm afraid to say that I am shutting it down. Here's why.

We invited Shane ( our ranch manager) over for dinner and during the conversation he had said that he had checked out the blog. I asked curiously how he did that as it was my understanding that one needed to know the address in order to view the blog. He informed me that he was able to access it by googling my name. Well sure enough he was right. As it turns out, there was a setting that allowed search engines to link to the blog. I have turned that off. But, evidently it can still be accessed through some website that I may not even be aware of.

Therefore in view of the fact that it is no longer a secure and private sight, and in the interest of the whole family etc., it's time to close it down.

So, in the future, if I need a place to send out info I'll probably use a mass emailing or some other venue.

Thanks to everyone for all their support over the past 8 years.
