I would like to acknowledge the following:

Hillary Hartley for use of the fabulous photo in my header.  On her blog she claims: photographer wannabe…but I think she’s being humble.

And I want to thank, thank, thank Daniel Wheeler who did the redesign of this blog, created the awesome header and basic feel of this blog with little to go on other than, “I like this picture and I want my blog to feel welcoming and gentle but also styley.”  Poor Dan.  He did an awesome job.  He’s one of these guys who has a talent for making something awesome with whatever tools he has lying around, whether it is a blog header made of awesome, a ninja doll or wooden push bike for his kid or his stunning fine art.
