6:45 am I am working on getting the Spring issue finishing touches all done today, so it can go to print tomorrow and be in the mail on the 22nd. So you may not see much of me between now and then. I stayed up last night until midnight hand addressing all the envelopes and writing all the stuff that has to go on the International Declaration stickers. I think this is the last time I can do that by hand, there is getting to be too many (200-300 is ok, but over that, hands start hurting) and I will have to resort to learning how to make labels. I think it does not look as personal, so I will loathe it, but 6 hours writing out addresses was a long time. Do look in your package to see if you have a reminder slip that it is time to re-new if you want to continue getting the magazine. I am happy to report that most of you who got them in the last issue to be sent out, re-subscribed. Thank you.. 

Even my boyfriend as he walked by the growing pile of finishes addressed envelopes last night, was amazed at how tall the stack was without any magazines in it. It is pretty exciting to see how this homesteading magazine has grown over the last 2 years. Thank you to everyone who pushed me to start writing it... (Edna especially).. and everyone who has been telling others about "Down to the Roots" Magazine. 

Fun Contest!!! Go to our Forums to place your 'bet' of when the various cows will have their calves. The person closest to when each cow will calve, will win a "Down to the Roots" T-shirt.
