Great work, Evie!
And I mean in getting another scrolling addict started. He's so young - he'll learn really fast. I found with youngsters that you have to hook them really well before they get too interested in the other sex and cars and then romance and a new family..... If your hook got them well, they'll come back to scrolling later and keep enjoying it (and maybe pass it along, too)
And a really nice looking Alaska Duck (although Antarctic Duckie might be more correct.)

Well Evie you must be proud enough to bust your buttons !

It is always wonderful to see a younger get involved in any hobby , wood, music , etc. There are so many scary things out there these days

Excellent work young man !
...and you too Evie, he definately has a good teacher

Cool, nice thread here, congrats. Now I'll ask this...... I bet you learned just as much from him as he learned from you right? When working with the 4H kids, Im amazed at the things they actually teach me! Dale

thats for sure, I have learned from him. he has tought me, that there are still things out there worth learning, than the computer. TV, and the willing ness to learn from his gramma. the emportant things of life. like caring, sharing, and perserver. doing what you can with what you have. and just being happy with what you have. he is a nice kid. and i will keep learning from him. I will teach him what i know. and He will teach me, what i have forgot. your friend Evie,
