    Hi Lynn ~ thank you so much for visiting my western unit and leaving your new "angel dust"! Congratulations on becoming an angel! I have to admit that you and Jimmie were my main inspirations for wanting to try writing at Squidoo. I thought you had such wonderful ideas for teaching. (And still do!) Thank you again! :D

    I like this idea....I am not familiar with home schooling but creating lenses for unit studies is pretty cool. I'm going to lensroll this to my Pistol Pete Jacket Lens...The lens has little to do with the jacket, and is largely about an interesting lawman of the Wild West; Frank Eaton.

    Thanks for this.
