So, would this be the place to tell tall tales (slightly enhanced versions thereof) of our great adventures? Sindara

I did dear… Happy Birthday! Mom (Sindara)

Thanks! Who ratted on me?

Rangersamill, we hope that you have a great year! Happy Birthday! (even if we are late) Sindara and Turnip

Happy Birthday! May you have a wonderful year! Sindara and Turnip

Happy Birthday to both Grimble Grumble and Liathwyn! Actually, Liathwyn WAS the first baby of the New Year - in Tehama County, California, in 1981!

Thanks, Peter! Our first 'general info' meeting is next Saturday - Jan 11. We'll be meeting at Spirit Lake Books (this is our books and coffee tavern) - 1.00 p.m. Will see what happens… and keep ya'll posted! Sindara

Wow! Thank you all for this great info! I would really LOVE to make my own bow, but would feel better if someone could oversee and help in this - I know so little… Tomorrow will go into town - think I'll stop at the archery shop and ask around… Anyway, you have all given some great information, ...

Thanks Wulfgar! Maybe I should do some finish work - would have to learn a little more about this, which is always good!

Thanks Peter!
