OOOO Bill!!! It’s NOT boring … it’s fascinating!!! I LOVE it!!! I’m delighted to have it here for folks to read!!!

Hugzz!!!!

Barbara, I nearly spit my coffee all over the keyboard … laughing!!! Yeah, well sweetie, my original didn’t look much like this, either!!!! WHEEEEEEEE!!! SUCH fun!!!! I had to sacrifice a slot in the Arizona group .. they don’t like effects … but I just couldn’t resist. I actually had it all sepia at one point, that was my “vision” for this one … but you know me and color, so I boosted it back up a tad. Glad you like it. I’m going to come over and check out that restaurant!!! Sounds like a hoot!!!

Hi Gerry!!!! Thank you, thank you!!! The texture really did work well on this one … I’m glad you noticed and approve!!!!

Thanks, sweetie!!!!

Thanks, Lynnie!!!! I spent most of yesterday on this thing … must have 50 versions of it sitting in the ‘puter!! LOL!!

Thank you sooooo much!!! I’m so glad you liked the sand … the texture I added really put some snap into the foreground … so glad you noticed that and liked it!!!!

LOL!!! It’s okay … what really kills the keyboards, though, is spilling lemonade on them. Trust me … I know about these things.

Dear Rod … thank you so very much!!!!! It was a VERY bright and sunny day … and the light on the mission was strong. Even with our beloved cp filter, it was a bit much. Once I started tinkering, I sort of got a “feel” for the history and the passing of the many years it has seen … I’m glad you enjoyed my little attempt at making time visible!!!!!!
