Your story (and the others on the Blogathon site) are brilliant and inspiring! As someone who never wrote anything other than business reports and letters, I felt the urge to create a blog and write about our adventures and my musings on this major life change. Of course, it's called Justabackpackandarollie.

Volunteers are not permitted to handle venomous animals, nor would I want to. We do have a rattlesnake demonstration, given by a herpetologist who knows what he is doing. No holding or touching it. At the end of the show, everyone knows that rattlesnakes will not harm them if they take a few sensible precautions. Everyone can also tell which snakes are rattlers and which are harmless but helpful nonvenomous snakes.Kathryn (KL) Lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01801435890997786332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406419060193144228.post-5504495942503384422012-05-19T09:19:10.210-07:002012-05-19T09:19:10.210-07:00That's not a rattler in your hands is it?

I've been enjoying all the Second Act stories, and you are obviously having a great time with your Second Act-with the bonus of being able to return to your First Act.
