Hello WdC, and many thanks to those who've already made me feel quite welcome!! WdC seems to be the writing group I've been hoping to find, and much much more! I am a transplant to Western MA, and enjoy the outdoors in almost any gentle configuration, especially if it includes water. I also love reading and teaching. Now, if I could just find CleanMyHome d Com, with constructive feedback, enjoyable contests, interaction with others with similar/ related challenges/ goals, 'tangible' indicators of progress, 'detours' that result in movement toward overall goal, I'd be in great shape!!
