Hi y'all,
I know I haven't posted much lately, but life is sort of out of control here
right
now, but late at night, or early in the morning, I like to sit down for a
few
quiet minutes and read some from the lists.
Actually, I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the posts on the emus and
everything
else y'all have talked about. I've learned a lot from them and now have an
interest in trying emu meat. :-)
You always have such interesting posts Allen. Keep it up.
Our beloved list owner has given us his opinion folks. :-)
Love ya George! :-)
And hi John. As always, it's a pleasure to see you too. :-)
You do add such interesting ideas to ponder. LOL
