Pretty cute entry! All round.

The way I happened to come by here is... I saw your 'name' {imac} in comments. I love cyber 'names.' What people use on blogs and mailing lists and what they use, as their e-mail addys.

And I LUV my iMac.

So I had to come over and see you.

Looks like fun to be had here, so I'm glad your 'name,' pulled me in. Even if it may not have anything to do with your computer choice.

Thank you for your nice words, in a comment! Of course I don't mind that you linked to my blog. It's quite lovely. After all, if we are on the World Wide Net, we want someone to come around and look. :-)

Only one teeny, tiny point... I spell my name with an 'i' at the end of both. {Mari-Nanci} Sorry to be picky, but... Am I forgiven? :-)

Ralph seems pretty well-adjusted. Didn't know a tractor could be "put out to pasture"!

I think we'd all be happy to retire to the beach :)

That's a great "first person" story. You have quite a way with words and Ralph is very handsome even with muddy shoes.
