Hi Everyone!!!Thank you so much for all of your wonderful comments.
If it makes you feel more relieved, I can't play tennis worth a darn. Never could! EVER!!!
So lets all head to the beach instead!? Or take a boat ride!!!?
I sure enjoyed all you said and will be along to see any of you that I missed last night. Back later when time permits. :D !!!

Hi Mare, Rolan, Steve and Paddy!I used the lasso wand (in PSE7) on the tennis court to bring out the green. It was fun. B4 that it looked like a swimming pool...Then lassoed the red brick next to make it rich!
I, too, like the swaying trees here. Glad you guys saw other things you enjoyed as well!
Okay Brother Rolan...Let's play!
Thank you all and I hope you, have a nice weekend, too!
