Hi, Peg. I recently figured out how to read my LJ friends page from my cell phone, so I added you back on my friends list, since I always did enjoy reading your journal. I used to feel a bit out of it because I'm not part of the SF-Fantasy community, but I got over that. ;-) Mainly, you write like people I know in real life: friendly, conversational, intelligent but not pretentious. And I can relate to your life as a mom! And if all else fails, you're a fellow Minnesotan, so I can relate to what you write about the weather. Hoot.
