The screening mechanism saw me as an undesirable, I guess. Pretty advanced software! In any case I'm trying again and think I might hit pay dirt this time. Thanks for your kind words, your hugs..for me and Boo Boo and Bubba, and your encouragement and your prayers. We feel all of them here and are buoyed up by your spirits expressed in your words. We will keep you posted on our progress and our trials, and know that you are with us through it all. Bless all of you, David Hello Paula, Pat and Chris,

What a gorgeous slide show! Holy cow! Phew... an amazing feat. It reminds me of a quote from a dear friend from the sixties: " Never mistake a rut for a deep groove." ha ha. Job done! Your " stone baptismal" is such a clever analogy. Rest up some and do make it a wonderful Easter Sunday. Your friend, Paula Dear David,

Your ” stone baptismal” is such a clever analogy.
