how do i work this thing?

What is this Html stuff anyway? My sweet friend Marie, has encouraged me to blog. She is concerned that no one responds to her blogs. What she doesn't realize is her blogs are so perfectly wonderful, we are all blown away and intimated. So here are five things i am thankful for..... 1. My family near 2. my family far 3. my friends near 4. my friends far 5. my horsies. More on all these later. Marsha
