the
"sport/hobby/activity/past-time/happy-fun-time/shindig"
has taken off in the year since I started. I enjoy
meeting others in our "society" and hearing about
adventures on the trail. We all have stories to
share. I highly respect those that have helped make
LBing what it is now. Pete and Wanda are the best!
(don't blush, P & W, if you read this) I've only met
them face to face once, but I feel they capture the
spirit of the whole thing. Do it when you can! Have
fun with it. Love it! I am inspired seeing the work
that so many of you have done in placing boxes and in
shutting off the tv and getting outside to see these
creations. BRAVO!!!
Miles of smiles...
