Nadya Johnson June 17, 2006

Thank you all so much for your comments! A friend not on the site said last night this was her all-time favorite, so I thought I'd post it. Not all of my message came through last night because I also wrote "It's very late, be back to comment tomorrow" but -- not there. I also did not get the last "Submit" button which I thought was strange altho the photo reached the entry page. Has anybody else ever had that happen???? Always some surprise.... ! Thanks again to everyone again, I really appreciate your comments and support! #2907799

As far as BP is concerned I think you hit the nail on the head when you said, "always some surprise...!" - LOL!! I've had some 'strange' things happen, but I'm not sure that I've had the 'Submit' button one...YET!! :o( ;o) #2908288
