Thank you so much, Val!  This is actually the longest page I've written . . . some are as short as 6 signs, others are as long as 25.  I do hope you'll be able to get the video up soon, and thank you to everyone else for your responses and suggestions.

Don't worry, I'm not planning to stop writing!  There are actually a few other signs - I can't remember which ones now or on which pages but I can go back through and look - on which I haven't been sure about my writing, but I've kept going under the assumption that we'll be going back through and cleaning those up if they're wrong.  I figure SQUIRREL will be one of those - and there's also the "head resting on the hands" question.  Anyway, I certainly plan to keep going! ;-)

Thank you again to everyone who's responded,
KJ
