So I Am still here and picking although a little more slowly. Fell in the winter and hurt my left ring finger so now both index and ring are stiff. They warm up with practice. Got a new puppy in the spring so busy with him as well. :D But meanwhile I am learning Sally Goodin and Angeline the Baker. Happy Picking everyone.
