No Photoshopping was involved. The photo is about 70 years old, and I scanned the original negative. I thought part of the fur coat overlapped the soldier's arm, too, but when I took a look at the large file I discovered that it's not her coat--it's his stripes on his sleeve. But the other arms still mystify me. I received a message from someone who does imaging and graphics. He says my dad's arm looks like it's in back of the soldier, but actually it's in front. A theory I like better is that the soldier is a ghost. :-) And the "tiny head" on my dad's right shoulder? Let's make believe it's President Truman. LOL

Thank you Mare. We've liked it long enough to live there for 30+ years. It's a wonderful stroll around the lake and has a great maintained lagoon for kids with a rock slide and such. But I'd trade it all for OldGardener's street! That kind of road is just breathtaking to me. Jodi-

oldgardner... I can't recall the name of that flower at the moment but it is my very favorite! I use it as an accent around the edges of my hanging baskets and whiskey barrels and wash tubs full of flowers. I just love the dainty white flowers and it blooms profusely all summer for me.
