Thank you, jaycee. You are always so sweet. I am trying to go back and read some of the comments (and beautiful graphics!) from all the last few days. :)

Hope you're feeling better than you have been recently. Hope your Red Hat Luncheon was a success Friday!

Beautiful music, Luv! It is taking me forever just to post a reply. Is anyone else finding F.R. slow this morning?

Is anyone else finding F.R. slow this morning?

MEEEeee! (I thought my computer was going down again!)

[Billie]

Polly, your post #1011 on Sunday brought tears to my eyes. I can only imagine the sadness you felt visiting the Group Home where your granddaughter is now living, not only seeing her there because it's obvious that she is loved very much by her family and you will all do everything you can to see that she continues to feel that love. The young woman you mentioned whose mother and grandmother live close but don't visit is heartbreaking. :( I can see you will make her feel someone cares about her as well. God Bless you and your sweet, caring heart.

Hope your sore throat is all better by now.

I love this post, jaycee. Such a pretty post - “His Eye is on the Sparrow” is one of my favorite hymns.

Another beautiful graphic, Meg. (Can you tell I’m drawn to the ‘fall’ colors of those birds you’ve chosen to frame?) :)

[Billie]

Hmmmm .... sure didn’t look this way in the preview window. :(

It's also hard to tell exactly WHAT commands one typed originally when viewing the "partial source code", because John has it fixed to add html tags just wherever 'it' feels like adding them if we don't turn off every command where 'we' want to. :(

But when viewing the partial source code, if the code is anything at all like you typed, it appears you used TWO blockquote commands instead of a center command. Who knows?! LOL! And I agree, the preview box isn't helpful at all in showing us how our text is going to look when it's actually posted. :(

[luvie]

Yes...I didn’t think the music posted. I got an error thingy. LOL! Hope it gets better soon!

Glad you are enjoying the tune!

Happy Lovely Autumn Tuesday To Amy's Place

~Rural Resurrection~
By WayzaJOHNN

Along a cottonwood tree lined road
dusty from the breeze so soft
where the cattails climb to loft
their tips of pollen weighted load

A tricolor black bird sings its song
in a voice as clear as the early dawn
another answers from the miller’s lawn
in a sweet voiced tune that echoes long

The covered bridge creaks in the passing
in counterpoint to the stream below
and in that moment of connection I know
all the feelings in my heart massing

A whisper of the zephyr touches my soul
a caress, soft as watered silk in the night
and I’m transfixed by a beam of morning light
washed by a peace that leaves me gently whole

[JustAmy]

Yes ... I typed two blockquotes hoping to get 2 indentions. It looked great in the Preview but it sure didn’t work.

Billie, today’s Opener is so Lovely. I love all the fall colors. They are so warm and cozy.

Can we do Fall until December 10th? LOL

Have a Warm Cozy Tuesday! :^)

[MEG33]

I do know how to spell WayzataJOHNN! Sorry I didn’t do it in my post.

[MEG33]

Thank you Billie ...and for your beautiful opening and poem.

[jaycee]

It played perfect for me, Luv!

[jaycee]

Thanks Billie, I do love that song too!

[MEG33]

I stopped trying to use blockquote long ago..I never know when it’s going to work for me.

[MEG33]

I witnessed such a scene once after WW2....Fierce barking ..and a then a dog cry of joy like I haven’t heard before or since...a leap into arms.
Wonderful!!

[MEG33]

Lovely music for a lovely autumn day in Texas.

[MEG33]

Yay...you survived!

[luvie]

Great! Thanks for letting me know! Enjoy!
