A photo of my Mom and Dad. Mom is 88 today, Dad was 97 last week. The picture was taken in Sept. on their 64th wedding anniversary. We were going to have a family get together for their anniversary but Mom said, "Nah, wait a year until it's 65 then we'll have something to celebrate." Ron

This weekend part of the pack of hounds went somewhat off course. I went to try to help and when I got there they had got most of the pack back together, but had to trot up the road for a way to get to a safe location hang out waiting for other hounds to re-appear. They did have a "road whip" driving along behind them with its emergency blinkers on to ensure no cars came racing up behind. It's unusual for the hounds to cross a road since foxes usually circle around within their territory. Someone thought the hounds were on the scent of a coyote, which run more in a straight line. In any case, luckily none of the hounds were lost or injured.

I love your picture, Schoolhouse! It really has a wonderful feeling to it. It attracts and yet you know it's really cold out there! I lived in Baltimore for 14 years and I was very close to Pennsylvania. I loved taking a drive up through the countryside and seeing the Amish and their horse and buggies. I guess because for me it harkens back to another, simpler time there is something that really draws me in. Thanks for bringing back that memory for me today! Mine is a picture of me with the 15lb salmon I caught on a really fun trip to Alaska.

ha ha Lying is my pet peeve. It's ridiculous. I never know how to respond when being lied to. I should start a thread on replies I can use. ie: Really? You believe that? Not in my world! Wouldn't it be great if that's what really happened? or....?
