So, sorry if this is in the wrong place (and I know it is). I tried the link but it didn't work (or else it's my wonky computer).

Thanks for the inspiration and hope Vegas was FAB! ~KarenKaren Fisher-Alanizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03965274282794735808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-62026352470136088432008-07-14T18:40:00.000-05:002008-07-14T18:40:00.000-05:00Very cool..but as we know, Panhandle women had to ...Very cool..but as we know, Panhandle women had to be tough. What a land to carve a life from in that day and age.<BR/><BR/>These women (and men) have gone a long ways to stifling my whining.<BR/><BR/>My grandma gave birth to ten babies on this prairie and never complained....it's humbling and inspiring.
