Barbara, this is the first time since I know you, that you sound
excited about an award; usually you are sooo blasé when you tell us
about winning something.

Congratulations. You deserve this recognition and it seems long
overdue. MS

Woohooooooo!!!

Just got online after returning from our trip late last
night and Googled for your results message. Wow, you
cleaned up! Congratulations, it couldn't have come to
a more deserving, harder working Minnesotan. You sure
tore up all those Olympic medal winners, some kind of
record!

Seriously, Barb, congratulations on deserved recognition
for your labors. You did good, lady!

Thank you. I am excited -- it's represents overall excellence rather
than in just one lot. Overdue? Nah. I think part of my excitement
comes from the fact that it was a huge surprise and totally unexpected
-- I hadn't given it any thought at all.

Goofy? Nah, just kind of hokey and 40's-ish. Sort of like "Gosh
Darn" or "A tip o' the hat." Still, a darned nice recognition for
the lady who's so recognizable<G>. Way to go, Barb!

Based on some replies I've read Barb, it appears you've done mighty well
at the fair this year. (I've got a new job and haven't been reading much
as of late).

Congrats on all your ribbons and kudos to you!

A pessimist believes all women are bad. An optimist hopes they are.
