Time to cook dinner..I’ve enjoyed it all here!
I remember riding the train from Texas to California during the early ‘40’s. My sister and I played train for at least a week after we got home.
My family has taken the train several times but after the last one that ran 11 hours late, we have been reluctant to try again. Even Marissa said she hated the train. She prefers to fly. :)
The train cuts several days off of driving time and you get to see some beautiful scenery.
LOL
You did it again, FunnyGirl.
Thanks for the smiles and fun that you bring to Amy’s Place.
I’ve saved these links.
I need to check them against the ones I use.
I have trouble resizing animated graphics.
I’ve had to get used to the resizing programs. Some are better than others.
See you later, Meg.
We are going out to dinner for Mother’s Day tonight.
See everyone when we get back.

This one will resize animations..but many times to get to the right bytes it makes them lose detail or look strange..
I just usually take the animation out by using shrink pictures or Paint to get them to the right byte size.
Billie knows how to do it better..Lady Jag might, too
Do either of you ladies know a good link to minimize GIF’s?
Lovely Hymn and pic pairing!!
Adorable lamb & cool green effects!!:)

**I use these below all the time**
This one takes huge size pictures and cuts them down as noted..sometimes its enough to get the byte size below 100,000..and I don’t have to use the optimizer..byte size reducer

for images 300,000 or less dynamic drive

for larger
