Quote: Wow, very cool! Now tell me again why you don't have a house at the top of that hill? Well tell you what, when I win the lottery I will! LOL If I build it will be behind the cabin beside the fenced square foot cabin about 150 feet in from the road. Any more than that and you cannot hook into the sewer services for the town as the first floor of the property has to be 2 feet over the center line of the road. Also the top of the hill is about 800 feet in from the road. I would have to put in a well and septic. One of the really nice things about this property is that is has water, sewer and high speed internet at the doorstep. Also the hill is till pretty wooded. Of course most of the property was all bush when I bought it. When you see the cleared space that is the result of a couple of years of cutting, chipping , burning and stump pulling. I have been clearing the lot lines and underbrushing as the bush is thick enough that is can be difficult to walk through.

Thanks sassy for the frog pics. I just love them. I found a new site lately for picture storage and I think I may set up an account with them as you can make your own web address off of their site as well or so I've heard. flickr.com is the site ever hear of it. If anyone is really into taking pictures, like I am with my digital camera this would be a site for you to explore into. You can search numerous picture subjects and wow, what results all has there to share with the public. Some photos that I never thought I would have taken an interest into using as a subject has caught my eye and peaked my interest enough to say, wow, I'm gonna try that. Well worth your time to check it out and see what ya think,anyway. Just search whatever comes to your mind on what you would like to see and walllahhh, it's there in all forms. Beth, Hope your dog doesn't butcher up your lovely plants to much. I guess choppin them up with the tail is better than ingesting the foliage though. Better that end than the latter,huh or you could really have a mess on your hands. Do you have any begonias in your indoors collection, a couple kinda looked like it but I can't really tell as I'm just starting to get into the houseplants again. When my kiddies were wee little ones I gave up my houseplants for their safety but now that they're nearing graduation I felt, huh, I think it's safe now. I got a begonia plant from a garage sale and the leaves are gorgeous but I'm not sure exactly what window I should be putting it into. At the moment its in a north facing window, should it be in a south defused lighted window. Susie, did you run out and make snow angels or catch a few snow flakes with your tongue? Remember doing that as a child? Gotta keep the child spirit in all of us alive by nourishing it. May take a we bit longer to get up and down from making snow angels but just as fun as the very first time. I love all the photos everyone is contributing, this is so much fun. You gals really have some great shots to share with our group, Thanks Peace Char

I about fell over when I saw this post. How sweet is this? Unbelievable, she will be shocked to say the least. I just can't wipe the silly little grin off of my face. You all are the best! Trin

Not 100% sure I understand your question, but if I were you I would use what ever paper works best to paint on beings you intend to scan the finished product.Have you tried card stock? There are many types of textured paper out there you could try. Carol
