My pleasure. :)

It keeps going and going and going...... :)
Close to there - born in Miami proper; briefly lived in Orlando - age 2 until 9 1/2 back down state in Coral Gables (separate city within Miami's borders).
Then moved up to Melbourne - later Port Malabar, Ft. Pierce, and Panama City.
Steve is in West Port St. Lucie now, and Kevin in Lake Worth.
Hi, Aqua! I'm so glad you made it today.
Thank you for the compliment on today's opening. Actually, I found that whole parchment background quite a while ago - it's the whole center background, including the jagged and navy edges on both sides - have been anxious to use it and never seemed to find just exactly the right time to do it, so I made today's thread the right time. :)
My pleasure. :)
More things learned in the movies (found them on the net.)
- All telephone numbers in America begin with the digits 555.
- Cars that crash will almost always burst into flames.
- A cough is usually the sign of a terminal illness.
-When in love, it is customary to burst into song
- When confronted by an evil international terrorist, sarcasm and wisecracks are your best weapons.
- Creepy music coming from a cemetery should always be investigated more closely.
- When they are alone, all foreigners prefer to speak English to each other.
- Action heroes never face charges for manslaughter or criminal damage despite laying entire cities to waste by their actions.
- You can tell if somebody is British because they will be wearing a bow tie.
:) You have a hard time keeping that halo up there sometimes. :)
Thanks for the wise words, Mayor.
Hi, Victoria - those are great! I think the 'foreigners speaking English when they're alone was on the list I got - I left off three or four when there were so many that I didn't get illustrations for. :)
I don't know if it's my computer or FR is very slow right now.
Whew! I thought it was just mine! Maybe it *is* FR then?
I feel better too, LOL. I said, oh no, not my puter again.
This evening it's been slower than usual.
Thought so. I've never been that far South, the furthest I've been was Titusville during the moon launch.
I'm sure this problem is just momentary - it'll will go away soon. :-)
Well it looks great. I have a table background in mind but no subject matter for it yet. If it ever comes together will have to make a "guest" Post one day.
Yes!!!!
Going to make a cup of hot tea and watch Boston Legal - will be back to say goodnight later. :)
Yes - I remember the coincidence we both were there for that glorious moment in history!
We had just left the Air Force and were visiting Bernie's brother, Jack, who worked for NASA as a Quality Control Engineer.
We watched the launch from the west side of the Indian River, directly across from the Cape.
If that sight was not awesome enough,
then came the ROLLING THUNDER, reverberating right through you!!!
That sounds like the same memory that I have of the event. Was looking across water at the launch pad when everything lit up and then the rolling thunder. It was one of those moments that you never forget.
