Here goes nothin...

It seems that AOL has saved my images AND captions, so I will try again to post here.  At least the captions are still there.  That makes me feel a bit better.  Here goes nothin...

Phew!  That worked!  Now to add some comments.

I have no idea what I originally said in the "lost post" so there isn't a ton to say about the pictures that isn't mentioned in the captions.

I had NO idea that so many of you read this journal regularly.  Seriously.  I thought it was Mom, Russ, Kevin, my brother, Pam, and Lisa.  Sure, I knew that there were others occasionally, but not REGULAR readers.  I am flattered.

I won't leave.  I almost cried when I saw 16 comments, and only one was spam!  Heck, that's almost as many as MOM gets!

Also, I lurk, too.  There are many that I read, but find my comments seem dull, so I don't post them.  I'll work on that.

So, enjoy the pictures from a WEEK ago!  LOL  I'll come back later with some stuff that has happened since.

I'm SO HAPPY you are not leaving!! LOVED your pictures...but I can't believe how big your girls are getting. They aren't little girls anymore! They are growing so fast!!
Your grass looks so lush and green...and the sunset was great. You are lucky to have that deck with the torches. That would be a piece of Heaven for me!
Have a good night,
Pam

I read but don't comment often because I'm lazy.  I love your down to earth pictures such as the black birds eating bugs after Kevin served them up.  I almost felt as if I were sitting on that peaceful deck watching the sunset under the light of the tiki lamps.  How much better can it get?  I am completely dependant on AOL...don't have the energy (65 you know) or know how to do anything different.  Maybe a short tutorial on something out of the blue would help all of us elderly people.  It would have to be ultra simple and not task intensive.  My brain is already on overload but maybe, just maybe I might be able to force it to accept some new ideas.  I'll also not be so selfish and comment more often.

You have no idea how many people read your journal.  I know for a fact Cliff's cousin, Edna, does.  And my cousin Carolyn peeks in some, as do Brian and Heather, I believe.  There are lots of people who would never comment who read us.  I really didn't know Brian was reading mine until Cliff had his heart surgery; then he commented.  Took me a long, long time to figure out who had the screen name GeeOhYouElDee.  Or something like that.

your post reminds me of Sally Field at the Oscars when she won and she said "You like Me....You really like Me!!!"
