Jan, YEP, that too was the day it snowed in Palmdale. My older son Sean was in Palmdale that day and told me about that. I know some who really GET snow are laughing at me---but to me that IS snow even though it didn't stay. Good for you getting your baking done! I'm in the process of finishing up a whole lotta glass flowers for selling this Saturday and a friends vendor sale. I've come up with a new display and now I have a big truck to put more of them in! :-)I took some photos of the finished ones yesterday and hope to post them soon. I'll be getting work/teacher gifts wrapped and the Christmas letter all printed up today. I still cannot believe it is December. It didn't seem like November was here at all! Just flew by in Mach Speed! Love, Jules

Thanks everyone! I was so very proud of Jovi at the trial. It wasn't so much the placements, it was how well she was performing in an entirely new (to her) location. We ran 4 times and she got one 1st place and two 2nd places. That's really great for a baby dog! And, I'll put a link to the one jump she didn't Q (qualify) on. I love that run even though it wasn't one of the placement ones. It was the very last run and we were both getting more comfortable, working with more distance and moving faster. She dropped the bar at the last jump becasue, by the end of the day, the ground had dried out and the jump was in a sandpit...that shifted when she took off. Shoot, I almost lost my footing there too. Anyway, I love this run! Here is a link that might be useful: Not a placement run but, Jovi's best run of the trial!

I've never used PhotoStory but found these instructions online. Make sure your computer has a DVD burner and that it is working. If the instructions below don't work, open Nero (which I also don't use) and create a copy by dragging the file into a new burn project window. Other than that, can't help you much. Good luck. Insert a blank recordable DVD into your DVD burner. On the Save your story page, click Save your story for playback on your home DVD player. Click Next to temporarily save the photo story. On the Completing Photo Story for Windows page, click Continue and save your story to a DVD for playback on your home DVD player. In the Create a DVD dialog box, do the following: * In the DVD Title box, type a title for your DVD. * In the Video Title box, type a title for the photo story video. * If you have more than one DVD burner installed on your computer, make sure that you choose the correct DVD burner. Click Create DVD. The time it takes to save the story to DVD is determined by the overall performance of your computer system, the length of your story, and the recording speed of your DVD burner. In the Disc Create Complete dialog box, click No to close the dialog box, If you want, save the project for your story. To save the project, click Save Project, and then in the File name box, type a name for your project, and then click Save. By saving the project for your story, you can later open the project in Photo Story 3 and make additional changes, and then save it to your computer or save it to another recordable DVD.

Thanks Connie....he is feeling better but is still in some pain. The implant works great on the spots it's programmed to target. He is having hip pain now. I tell you he's falling apart! I can't convince him to discuss it with the doctor, he will when it gets bad enough. He's afraid he'll go under the knife again. But for the most part his pain device is working great, now if they can run some leads to his hip area he'd be in heaven. HE needs to ask his doctor and he says it's not bad enough yet.....he's a man what can I say?
