Women’s Outdoor News Launches Newly Designed Website
ROLLA, Mo. – The Women’s Outdoor News (The WON) launches a new look at its website on June 3, losing the former print newspaper WordPress template and choosing a simpler, more visual design. The e-zine, which features 13 women bloggers, focuses on “news, reviews and stories” about women in the outdoors. It offers updates by email or RSS Feeds.
Publisher Barbara Baird said, “When we launched The WON three years ago, readers still connected with the newspaper, newswire look. We want to reach a younger generation and this ‘look’ is fresh.” The site will continue to offer honest reviews of gear for women in its Gear Court department, where sometimes items get sentenced to the death penalty. Said Baird, “We never play for pay. If an item does not pass the Gear Court test, and even if it’s an item from our advertiser, we will still fail it and make suggestions as how to improve it for women’s use.”

At the tender age of 45 I am learning to play the Mandolin. My husband purchased this beautiful instrument for me last Christmas. I shared with him the wonderful memories of my childhood in Chattanooga, Tennessee where we would go to Signal Mountain on Saturday evenings and listen to people pick, grin, dance and just absorb the harmony of good ole' country music!
As I got older and moved to Florida, it seemed I was always looking for a little piece of home. When I would hear the sweet magic of the mandolin, I could close my eyes and be back home!
Taking music lessons in adult life seems to be more challenging but I have made a commitment to myself not to miss a lesson. I have also told my instructor on some lesson days that I would be paying for a practice because I did not find time in between our sessions to do my homework! Luckily, he totally understands and has been very supportive! It is to easy to quit so I am determined!
