Absolutely awesome issue!

I know what Mom from "Mom's Hen House" is getting for Christmas. I'll be ordering the CD with the first 7 issues on it.

Tina, y'all are producing an incredible magazine that really shows off the heart of Small Town America.

Thanks for inviting me to write for you.

Hey Shari.
Thank you!
It is always a pleasure to have a farm girl contribute an article.
I thoroughly enjoyed the story about your mom's hen house.
Thanks so much!

Really thrilled that you all are enjoying the latest issue.
We had fun putting it together...and..I'm thrilled that I have an open invitation to visit the deer farm we highlighted as well...as soon as I get relocated, the owner of the ranch has invited me to come take a tour of the operation.So I'll get to see those beauties up close and personal..when I do..no doubt I'll tell all about it.:0)
Yes, we decided to do a compilation cd..for those wanting to give them as gifts ,and to be able to refer back to an article and so forth.
So glad you all enjoy everything.
It is the comments like this that encourage us to keep pressing on with it, as we do not earn an income from it at this time..it is a pure "labor of love" and takes a fair amount of time each issue to do all of the work involved.
So..do please continue to tell your friends and family about us.
We are hoping that with added numbers there will be a publisher out there somewhere willing to pick us up.

Hi Tina
I have tried everything and can not get your site to open - it keeps saying there is an error - to check my spelling - sorry to be a pain I would love to read your current issue. Do you have any suggestions? Sorry for eating up your time..

Hi Grace,
I have found that when using Firefox that the magazine cannot be read, but if you switch over to Internet Explorer that you should have no problem.
For some reason the Firefox program cannot read the format that the magazine is in.
But barring that I have no idea what could be causing the problem for you.

Hmm, I use FireFox 3.0 and have no problem. Are you sure your Adobe Reader is up to date?

About the only little "glitch" we've found is that the index is one page off. We found that when printing off copies of "Mom's Hen House" for Mom to share with here senior friends who aren't "Internet-ready".
