P.S. I spend many hours reading and rereading this newsletter but it's easy for my eyes to gloss over mistakes the third or fourth time! Please let me know if there is anything that needs to be corrected.
Wow thank you so much @kiaraantonoviche for featuring my nighttime photo! I am honored once again. Upped and Resteemed as always to help share this Fantastic Newsletter! 😃😄
Thank you for the support and it was my pleasure! It really is a cool photo!
Absolutely! 😉
Huge thanks! This is such a wonderful service you provide. I had no clue why my post took off or what a @curie was, so its been an education. I'm very grateful to this community I'm finding on Steemit, very cool :)
My pleasure! It was a really great article and I enjoyed reading it!
I love this news letter, You should start tagging it with @thl so we can combine our efforts to support fellow homesteaders! If your not sure what @thl is then come check it out.
Thank you for the support, I've heard of #thl and I will have to look into it a bit more.

Thank you! I appreciate it!
great post good info thanks
wow had I not seen this newsletter I might never have known @bobbleheadstead joined a contest until it was too late to resteem his entry, thanks for sharing and thank's to all your participants as well :)
Which contest are you referring to @freakygeak?
@penssif's got a contest Homestead happiness means to me or something like that :) could be I'm confusing what it means to me and ten reason why I do or would like to homestead :D I'm easily confused and or distracted by interesting topics :)
Haha I gotcha, but I don't think that article was a submission into the challenge! The challenge is "Homestead Happiness" and the article was "10 Reasons Why I Want To Homestead"
