After reading and posting that recipe, I’m considering trying it.

Sounded good and my family loves lemon anything.

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Lori.
That compliment means a lot coming from you.

Did you have an interesting night Thursday?
We had lots of thunder and lightening but only a few sprinkles.
It was sure noisey.

[JustAmy]

RIP, Spc. 4 Chad Edmundson. Thank you for your sacrifice.

May God Bless and Comfort your family.
Rest in Peace.

[JustAmy]

Thank you for honoring our Fallen heroes.

May God Bless and Protect our Military.

That lavender/purple framing is so pretty, Amy!

[JustAmy]

Congratulations, GG.
Best wishes to Carter Allen and his Family.
We will be anxious to see his picture.

Luv, I have seen some mighty pretty things created by you...I always say “wonder how she does that?”

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Jaycee.

I think I still owe you a Good Morning; Will a Good Afternoon work?

Have a lovely evening.

Er...um....could I have a few minutes of your time, Miss Yorkie! You find some of the prettiest and most unique graphics on this thread! You find lovely, meaningful poems to match the perfect graphic! And I have told you this before, you are a great researcher....like finding the name of the poet that authored L.J.'s poem today! Its like you had it at the tip of your fingers which I know you didn't and posted 3 links to L. J.!

If you really wanted to do the tables, you could! Some like to learn how and others don't and thats okay! As they say "whatever floats your boat!!" And like Mr. Rogers used to say "everyone of us is different". Some of us (like zero) are VERY DIFFERENT!

[yorkie]

Aw, JC - you are so sweet. When LJ said she couldn’t find the name of the author, I was pretty sure I could find it for her. You see, I have a friend who helps me. He is very Liberal - but we don’t ever get into politics. His name is Mr. G_ _ GLE. (and it ain’t “giggle or gaggle”) LOL!

Thank you, JC. One of these days, I’ll get you, Meg, Billie, Luv, Lori and/or Amy to help me. For now, it just scares me to think of it.

Billie taught me, and trust me....she’s VERY patient! LOL!

[Billie]

It's Mr. Goggle, isn't it? :)

[Billie]

:) Ah, but you were a VERY quick learner. :)

[luvie]

You are very kind! I loved the challenge and you were so good
at explaining everything!

[yorkie]

LOL! Dang, Billie! How’d you guess? I was gonna keep it a secret....

;-)

[jaycee]

Funny, funny! Mr Goggle! I will have to admit that Billie has the patience of Job! She had to go over the same things with me so many times, it made my head spin! I couldn't understand how a person could have that much patience without throwing up their hands! She wrote pages and pages to me for a long period of time. Somedays I thought I would just quit. I would rest a while and then be ready to try again.

Lots of other people have given me information and answered questions for me...Meg, Lori, Kitty Mittens, GeeBee, Dolly, and maybe Luv, you may have answered questions. Its hard for me to remember. I sure wouldn't want to leave anyone out.We have some of the most giving and unselfish people on here than I have ever seen!

And people like to say that women are caddy! Not here, world!

[jaycee]

Gotta run out a few minutes....BBL!

To Grow Old Together................

In my arms I hold you tightly while the daylight of our lives fades away.
In our hearts there is undying love though our bodies turn old and gray.
In each others arms knowing that our mate may not be here tomorrow.
In our heart our mate will be there to help us through this great sorrow.

If tomorrow the sun shines, I hope that I am blessed to see you there.
If we are still together then that means God has answered my prayer.
If though you awaken to find you face alone all life's stormy weather,
If you listen to your heart I am there holding you we have just begun
TO GROW OLD TOGETHER!

Yes, Splenda can be substituted in many recipes for sugar. Not brownies tho! Remember that! I google splenda recipes and tips all the time. I was making brownies one day and googled it and someone had posted DO NOT USE IT IN BROWNIES. I guess the consistency was very poor.

Thank you Amy! Billie has welcomed me and I just don't stick around long enough for you regulars to remember me. I shall try to come on more often. I appreciate the camaraderie.
