Love this!
Now I really must get ready and go do some shopping.

[Billie]

Thanks, Dolly! I didn't know where Mayberry USA was filmed! Was your home very antebellum with tall white pillars on the front porch? It's how I picture houses in North Carolina. :)

[Billie]

Oooooooooooo! That puppy is adorable! How cute with that yo-yo! Kitty’s cute, but the pup gets my vote!

[Billie]

I would love to do something creative again. Keep your fingers crossed that it will be possible.

I will! I will!

[Billie]

LOL! How cute! Mine do that, too! Stretched out and not a care in the world!

[jaycee]

Dolly, how do you do that little black edge around your pictures? They look so neat like that. Can I learn to do that????

[DollyCali]

No my home was very unique

10,000 sq ft on 4 floors - about 80 years old at time (late 80s). In area of Victorian homes.

marble inner walls. Granite outer walls with one foot air space between for insulation. front & side of home had HUGE imported french stained glass windows (like a church) with complex art scenes. Fireplace in each room with imported marble, wood carvings etc.

Plumbing & wiring OLD & shot.Closets non existant. Kitchen archaic. Furnace coal fired steam (which I liked)

Rooms HUGE & each floor had a central hall way like a ballroom. Lower floor was entertainment areas.. Dining room larger than my current house.. built in cupboards etc.

I have pix somewhere but pre digital. It was a gorgeous piece of property that I came across with my real estate career.

2 acres commercially zoned in city. I LOVED it.

Lori, thank you for today's beautiful Opening Graphic.
I wish our BlueJays were this cute. :)

Hope you had a good day.
Did you enjoy getting out today. The weather was wonderful.

Have a Warm Fuzzy Evening.

[JustAmy]

It really sounds frightening, Kitty. I will keep her in my prayers.

[DollyCali]

yes - easy

after the jpg or gif & the “ do this....border=”5” and then close it with > can vary the number for the width.

will try to do it here with extra spaces so you can see

< img src = “URL “ border = “ 5 “ >

leave out the extra spaces

If before you have a font color the frame will pick it up as long as you do < br > rather than < P >

[jaycee]

I love it, Kitty he is just darling! He found him a very good home, didn’t he?

[jaycee]

I called her a ‘he’...sorry! I usually call all dogs ‘she’. Don’t tell your doggie I did this....LOL.....!

[DollyCali]

Billie. Mt Airy was the home to Andy Griffith & much of the ideas were from his early years there.. Here is a LINK with some info

plenty of pics! Have to get help—someone more computer savvy than myself! LOL

[DollyCali]

I just tried to find my home w/Google Earth.. On Pine Street.. couldn’t recall the cross streets.. or address although I recall it short ... 2 numbers like 60 or something similar. It was next to the library I recall.

okay need to get some things done here!

later all

[jaycee]

Kitty, post # 772 was to you....I sent to me...oh, well, the brain must be thinking too much...LOL~~~

[jaycee]

Billie, you have many different types there, don’t you? Gosh, they are so pretty! The one I am familiar with you using is the elephant that goes with all your other animal fonts.

I had noticed L.J.’s and never found time to comment! They were also nice.

Have a good evening!

[MEG33]

This is so adorable, Kitty..You do great good nights!
