That pearl harbor one is WONDERFUL for sure. I will use it also but NOT for a pledge... thank you Excuse for great pix. all of them wonderful

And Billie, this is a simply lovely thread! You put so much work into cataloging & organizing .. not to mention all the adorable logos

(that most TAKE FOR GRANTED!!!)

& wonderful graphics that you create. I'll bet most think you just copy past pix not realizing how you compile & create the lovely offering)

Thanks for making the Finest a great place to come & find refreshment for the soul. The past months my life has been in turmoil & I have not been able to participate as much in the chat as I would like, but I do read each thread & everyone's comments every day. And steal the appropriate pix along the way.

Now what is going on? Out of the 5 sistahs.. three of us have Poison "something".. Dutchess & DollyCali w/poison ivy & Billie with Poison Oak! Bummer. Is this one of the downsides of being a Finest Hostess? (watch out GeeBee & Amy!)

I am taking a quick indoor break.. doing heavy duty work outside again.. chain saw, garden work, weeding etc. Still chaos in basement & house ..soggy boxes strewn all over. Have air conditioning running 24/7 & several air purifiers in house to minimize the mold/mildew problems
