When I first read this, I was proud that Brad had hung on to so much "Dixie" with everywhere he's lived. Then, I took the test & was shocked to find that I am actually LESS Southern than he is (30%?!). How is this since I was raised by Southern parents in Alabama & have spent only 3 years of my adult life in Virginia--an arguably Southern state. Very strange! ;) Bye, y'all!

Crazy for the Computer Chloe is currently building her own 'website' using Front Page. So far, everything she has built has been done on her own including design, building the tables and cells, personalizing their properties, inserting hyperlinks, etc. She builds her own graphics using Paint Shop Pro. Also, all content has been written by her with no editing or suggestions from Mom. Check it out here ! Highlights from Today's Nature Walk: 1. Chloe spotted what she thinks is a Dowitcher (bird with long beak) 2. Ben splatted in the river about six times, so returned home soaked but happy 3. Only other animals sighted: brown grasshopper, small water snail, water striders, crows 4. Noticed developing buds on tips of branches

By the way, Chloe knitted the scarf she is wearing. *The bald eagle returned today. This is quite a record considering we usually only see him about twice a month. He still seems to be scavenging on Matthew Island. We're considering canoeing out and putting fish (or something) on the bank everyday to ensure that we see him on the Backyard Bird Count (Feb 17-20) www.birdsource.com/
