we'll see if this works

need some info
I had a hard time trying to figure out how to post a message b/c on the main page when I clicked on Marijke under 'Contributors' I just get my profile (which is non-existent) and there are no other places to click unless one wants to comment on an existing post or check the archives or other profiles - so I went to the Blogger main page and there was a spot where you could fill in your name and password if you already had an account which brought me to 'post a message' page. Is that how I have to access it? Sorry, could not remember from when I did it last time and Sarah asked me how to post a message b/c she was having the same problem so I thought I would write this in for her info.Anyway - it is cold here -25C this morning - so my days have been taken up with stoking the furnace, bringing in wood, doing the teaching thing two days a week, working on a research paper (which is painful) and taking a daily trek with the dogs in the bush for an hour. So, Bert and Marianne, I hope you are enjoying warm weather - you picked a good time to go. I have some pictures I would like to post but since I do not have a digital camera I need to scan them in - so will do that when I get some free time (and some help from Carly). Anyone want to plan a trip to Australia for Sarah's graduation in December?
