I am very sorry I just haven't had time to be on forum today. I will be later today. I had to go to Lowe's and get some things and when I got home, an old friend called and we talked over an hour. I am just now getting ready to eat some lunch and I am starving.

I still have to run to Walmart to get some chemicals for the pool. Will be glad to close it. The girls are so busy with their new lives right now, they haven't had time to swim lately. I did sit out this morning and have coffee and it was so nice and cool but I sure did see fall in the air.

The opening is so darling. The last time we played cowboys here at Amy's, I posted a small version of that same picture except the opening picture was fancied up...LOL! But its darling! I will try to get to my pings late today. I sure did enjoy "Sugar Cookie Cowboy" too!

This is the little picture I
posted when we played
cowboys the last time..LOL!

[Billie]

Only LJ could come up with that ;-)

She done good wif' it. :)

Hi, jaycee. Thanks, and yes, yours is the very same picture that I found at google and used in today's opening - I had a hard time finding one to use for the poem - that little boy fit the description perfectly - 3 years old, broomstick pony, etc. Cute as can be, isn't he? :)

See you when you get back - take it easy!

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon, Yorkie.
Hope you haven't been holding your breath?
I wanted to make a couple of new graphics so I'm running slooow again.
No ... it's not your computer, it is me. :)

Thanks for the link.
Always good to let your loved ones know they are loved.

Hope you are having a Warm Fuzzy Wednesday.

[JustAmy]

Thanks, Billie. I've used that braided leather frame a couple of times. I skipped over it several times but I really like it with the right image.

I think I forgot to unlock the doors this morning.

[jaycee]

Since we are having 'little cowboy day' at Amy's today, I took this picture from the frame and scanned it (which I'm not too good at) but got out the little book. This is my oldest son and he thought he was a real cowboy in this picture.

He had the spurs over those boots, holster and 2 guns, outfit with hat and man, did he think he was cool. The best I can remember his dad said something like "Look mean now!" By the way his brother wasn't born for quite a few years later.

I had it in a special frame that looks like rope and its been there a mighty long time! This picture was made on his grandmother's little front porch. Take note that this tough cowboy's suit has butterflies embroidered on it...LOL!

Good afternoon, LadyJ.
Happy Warm Fuzzy Wednesday.
Your fuzzy wuzzy bears are very cute. Thank you.

Wishing you a Warm Fuzzy Wuzzy Wednesday.
Hope it is a beautiful one.

Thank you Billie and Amy , Precious opening

*Happy Warm Fuzzy Wednesday Everyone*

[jaycee]

That is so cute, Amy!

[MEG33]

What a treasure! Thanks for sharing your darling son’s picture.

[jaycee]

So darling, Billie! The horse looks so big because she is so little! Cute.

[jaycee]

Could be no better creed....thats the way we were all brought up in that other world, huh? Thanks, L.J....

[jaycee]

*grin*

Like it!

[jaycee]

And it starts so early, Amy! Be prepared! I found a new life when these granddaughters of mine were growing up. By the time they are 11 or 12, they are really liking boys. But you know what? I did too....LOL!

[jaycee]

Love that graphic...unusual and so cute.

[Billie]

I think I forgot to unlock the doors this morning.

[jaycee]

Thank you Amy, thats so sweet!

Amy, I can’t believe sometimes how much time it takes to do just the things we have to and then all of us have a million other things to take care of! It boggles my mind...no wonder I have to take a nap in the afternoon. My mind gets weary..LOL! Really!

[Billie]

Oh, jaycee, that is darling! He looks real tough, doesn’t he! (embroidered butterflies and all!) How cute that is - thanks for getting it out of the frame and scanning it for us. (You did a great job with that scanner!)

[jaycee]

Yes, I saw that yesterday and it was a cute graphic!

[jaycee]

Did you know the one I had in my files had too many bytes and I downsized it for today! I bet the last time I posted it was with the other bytes! I remember how much fun it was and as best I can remember there were a lot of posts.
