		<description>Raindrops writes in my blog sometimes - and has her own email and Facebook page. What do you think?</description>

		<description>Hi Kevin!

Thanks for the feedback on my blog. I feel sort of proud to go from hokey to hypnotizing!

Nice job on the formatting too. I was laughing my head off as I read your post. Guess if I need a vacation I can tap into your talents...

Cindy, thanks for the kind props.

David, Raindrop would be really hurt if she knew you called her a mutt - she prefers designer dog.

Life is too short not to add fun where we can.

Thanks for making my day!

		<description>Maybe that&#039;s why your postings resonate with me, Kevin.  But I can also be nice and polite, when necessary.</description>

		<description>I felt the same way at first.  And I didn&#039;t care for that silly dog, Raindrops.

However, I now look forward to her postings because she applies real-life situations to association work and makes you think about things you might have missed.

The whimsical approach works, too, even when the author is her little mutt.</description>

		<description>I love her blog too. Great insights by clearly experienced presenter and volunteer. And became very wrapped up in latest on Raindrop and dinners with James.</description>
