Chris, Carol, Henry, Dominick, Peter, Ellen, Janet, Deb, Frank, Kay, Nadine, Kathy, Jen, Bill, Nadya, Kitty, Tiia, Jeana, Colleen, John, Kathleen and Tammy, thank you all so very much, You all brought a smile to my face! I am not feeling so very good right now so you brought a little bit of medicine to me. I apprceiate all the support and encouragment from you all everyday! You all are the best!ellen, I don't know what Wis Life is??? Are you from WI?
Deb, no I didn't, got their names but they didn't want them disclosed in the photo, so I didn't. I was on my way home so just made a quick stop.
I will go back again, most likely at some point I will see them again, it is a very popular used track and brings people in from everywhere.
Colleen I didn't change it much as far as the blur, just used auto levels which changed the colors in this one.
Thanks for the vote! Made my day! I just hope they like it this time.
Tammy, thanks for the smile girl, needed it! #5401292
