I’m glad..I had to “experiment” to settle on that one.
I use 77 instead of 66 in the middle for lighter “gold”.
I use PTP..I go up or down in numbers when the numbers are not there to make it right..I just experiment..LOL

[MEG33]

Oh..I am so happy to read this news! I am missing Dubya!
Prayers he can post soon. Healing prayers continue.

[JustAmy]

What font color do you use?

As I'm not a football follower I wouldn't know if they were playing their best or not...lol. However,

After their Academy days are over, they're all on the same team - our team

I couldn't agree more!

[oldteen]

That is such wonderful, heart-warming news!

Positive thinking and prayers can do wonders! My prayers continue!

"If its a crusty old poems you’re describing, keep’em coming as we enjoy them a lot."

I thought you might enjoy a break from crusty to have something fresh.

The Hourglass

The smallest key you've never seen,
Unlocks the smallest lock,
Which holds the biggest treasure,
Unwinding from the clock.

The treasure falls from Heaven,
Along a narrow pass,
Accumulating in a pile,
Within an hourglass.

But hours born in Heaven,
Are slow at being fast,
Before the pile has reached its peak,
A hundred years have passed.

I was looking for a gold color font and Meg’s gold font on the Christmas picture was really good for gold.

I use Picture this Productiona to get my font colors if I can’t get them off my computer.

[jaycee]

Are you saying you can change a number from PTP??

[jaycee]

You just wrote this today, Bob? Thank you....its wonderful!

[NicknamedBob]

It has more layers of meaning in it than even I anticipated, but yes, I wrote it a couple of hours ago.

It is convenient for me that I usually keep a pen and paper handy. One never knows.

[jaycee]

I have heard songwriters say that they will get up in the middle of the night if an idea comes to them! Have you ever done that??

[MEG33]

Yes..I make a 6 a 5 or 9 an 8..I figured out how to soften a color with a 22 as the first # for instance..I know ff at the beginning and the end are very different colors..I PLAY!

;o)

[jaycee]

I’m not sure I have it straight....I will have to experiment!

[jaycee]

I must close before my eyes do!

Nite, nite, All!

"I have heard songwriters say that they will get up in the middle of the night if an idea comes to them! Have you ever done that??"

I have done that. It is frustrating to have a poignant turn of phrase occur, which could then be worked on, only to have it evaporate before it could be nailed down.

So I have learned to jot things down, even rather cryptic and incomplete, so that I can work from that basis.

[oldteen]

Just wonderful on many levels! Your thoughts that can be put into words should be in book form (if it isn’t already). Thanks so much for sharing so many.

The only way that picture could have been cuter is if it had the lotto numbers hanging on the tree....:O)

[jaycee]

It is a cutie.....I could just squeeze that little booger to death! Thank you, GG. You made my day...
