Thank you!

I am still catching up on the comments and email. I want to take a moment to thank my friends who have been kind enough to mention Like Merchant Ships in special ways:

Mrs. Happy Housewife, whose thoughtful suggestions and quirky vintage sensibility I have appreciated for years now. (Plus, she beat my deal on an over-the-range microwave at Habitat.)

Paula at Hearty Works, whose enthusiasm bubbles over into her every post.

One Money Dummy Getting Smarter, whose financial determination and approachable writing style inspire me.

Please bear with me if I have overlooked your comment or link to Like Merchant Ships! I only allow myself so much internet time, even less in the summer.
