My Dad would have been 89 today, Sister. I know you're thinking a lot of your dad too. They gave us so much.
This image really made me smile. Of course I thought of John too :)
Wonderful colors and of course your composition rocks!! #10279752

Great dedication Laura, this one is so pretty for a mailbox. One of these days John will probably get a record for having the most mailboxes photographed. The owner of this mailbox is so creative, love the way the color and details match with flowers on the ground. #10280479

I think the word "Mailbox" is synonymous with "John" now! LOL! I knew right away that this would be dedicated to the Mailbox King! Excellent capture of this beautifully decorated box! Just think ... You can have gorgeous flowers all year round! Great find and dedication, Sis! :) #10289376

A lovely dedication to John, I know he'd be thrilled. My Dad would have been 97 on Thursday & Kody is 19 today. A lovely image to remember your Dad by also Laura. A good find=^..^= #10291354

Laura E. Swan level-classic August 26, 2012

Hi Everyone!!!! :)))) I was so happy to find this one to dedicate to John. :)) I made hubby turn the car around and go back to take this photos just for that purpose!

Chris, HAPPY 19th Birthday to Kody today! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone. I really had fun reading your comments.

Rona L. Schwarz August 28, 2012

So pretty, Laura, and such great coordination! A real treat for the eyes! And what could be more cheerful than flowers AND a mailbox for these special get well wishes! Hope you're feeling better soon, John! #10294518

Laura E. Swan level-classic August 28, 2012

Hi Barbara and Rona! :)))

So very nice to see you ladies here!!!

Wouldn't it be fun to have a mail box this artsy??? I'd love it...but then a person would have to have the white picket fence, too, and maybe that would just be asking for too much??? :D

It's always a pleasure seeing you in my gallery!!!

Night night!

-Laura :))
