I thought perhaps there were forms to fill out or something in order to join....... am I free to just post replies or notes as I have questions?

@auntnanny .. Jan, Nope .. not a form or a thing .. we are a welcoming group .. just read the back pages and post questions after you feel you are stumped! Hugs! Katherine

Hi @auntnanny,
