HOST'S NOTE:

**Best of the Rest was an active contest for several years before real life got in the way and demands on my time were just too much for me to keep it active. As I work to build my Bee Hive community, I'm opening my In & Out Back up. Thanks so much for supporting the Best of the Rest at the Bee Hive!
