Thanks, Rus. Sweet reading about the *special* laundering. :)

[Billie]

What an Excellent adventure!

Yep! T'was! :) He always makes driving fun. :)

[Billie]

Sounds like a great trip, have fun, looking forward to the next installment. California is beautiful!

Thanks, stopem, and that coffee "smells" delish!

[Billie]

Good Morning Billie, Your thread came out beautiful!

Hi, GeeBee, am glad you think so!

Diver, you had a wonderful vacation. Reading and seeing pictures makes me want to plan a vacation. :)

I've never been to so many of these great United States, and always enjoy seeing things through the eyes of those who've been there. :)

[Billie]

Good Morning Billie and Dave. 

Great presentation Billie. 

Dave I enjoyed your trip to Spokane and I am looking forward to the second part. 

Hi, Noosie - thank you - am glad you're enjoying the trip and anxious to bring you all the second installment tomorrow. :)

[Billie]

Wow!!!!!! Dave, THOROUGHLY enjoyed part one of the vacation (too bad couldn't take pooches.. boarding = bummer). I am looking forward to tonight when I can read again & more fully digest (with a map) all of your commentary & map pinpoints What great pix & what a great writer you are.. and SOOOOOO very lucky to have Ms. Billie with her NORMAL outstanding presentation.

Billie love the vignetting of pix, the colors etc.. Now, of course I have a curiosity about the butterflies (wish I had that side border when I did my butterfly thread). See you both later!

Dolly, you make my head swell! LOL. Thank you for picking up on the little details. :)

You know, I've had that butterfly background for the longest time and had never used it. If I'd known about your butterfly thread before you did it, would have been happy to give to you at the time! :)

[Mrs.Nooseman]

I am looking forward to it.

quick check in before I go for 4 doggie walk with John..

I know you would have shared the side border.. You are super generous with EVERYONE with your graphics. That is so very sweet & giving of you.

I still cant use them(side borders). Not sure you recall my Halloween thread that I had to change it .. had a great border but did not have the right HTML to present it. it was too garbly on the thread so I changed the link to NON side border for the table.. a few people noticed it had changed

I have been on a plateau of sorts the past 9 months or so with HTML.. use often & reinforce the things I know. This fall will try some new things perhaps - including the side border "formula".. weather gets nasty & I am not out & about or in yard as much..

I've Been Reading your Excellent Adventure as I Do my Housework, and what a Wonderful Journey it has Been! I can Only Imagine the Great Time you had, as you Beheld our Lord's Glorious Creations. Your Sunset Pic is Lovely, and our Dearest Maggie would have Loved it, as you Said.

Thank you, Dear (((((Billie))))), for your Excellent Presentation, and Thank you, (((((Diver Dave))))), for Sharing with us these Wonders of the King!

[Billie]

yea, we do look good, don't we? hahahaha.. I had that pix in my files to use "sometime" in future.. Billie had a great adaptation here..

I was pretty sure you had the picture, too, Dolly, so you know a few changes had to be made to make it work for us. :) Might not have made quite so many changes if I hadn't wanted to "line us up by names" as we are listed in topper, prayer list, etc.

[Billie]

Great adventure, Dave! Thanks for letting us come along! Thanks,Billie, for helping him to get packed! :D

LOL! Cute, Luv - actually, he should be glad it wasn't me packing for them - I always take too many clothes 'n stuff. You know, just in case I might need a warm sweater in 100 degree weather, or a pair of sandals in case it gets above freezing or something.

[Billie]

Thanks again, Billie for all the artwork and presentation.

Well, I *guess* you're welcome - you know how much I hate doing things like this. :)

Gonna check out for a while... another dr appt shortly.

Hurry back! :)

[Billie]

Hi billie and dave. Quick in at out during break time. Love reading about your adventure dave...great pictures and, as always, lovely presentation billie!!!!! BBL for a more "indepth" review :o)

Hi, Sistah! Thank 'ya much! And glad you are home - missed you last week.

Dolly, the thing with the side border is that the LAST table you do has to be aligned right either by the percentage of the solid/textured bg or by actual width of that solid/texture bg. Plus, of course the whole thing with the side border and all has to fit inside the last centered table width, i.e. this one today looks like this:

<center>
<table background="http://d21c.com/billie/backgrounds/Blackgradientbg.jpg" cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 border=2>
<tr><td><center>
<table background="http://d21c.com/billie/backgrounds/silvergradientbg.jpg" cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 border=0>
<tr><td><center>
<table background="http://d21c.com/billie/backgrounds/Blackgradientbg.jpg" cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 border=0>
<tr><td><center>
<table background="http://d21c.com/billie/backgrounds/brownplaidbg.jpg" cellpadding=40 cellspacing=0 border=0>
<tr><td><center>
<table background="http://d21c.com/billie/backgrounds/Blackgradientbg.jpg" cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 border=0>

<table background="http://d21c.com/billie/backgrounds/silvergradientbg.jpg" cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 border=0>
<tr><td><center>
<table background="http://d21c.com/billie/backgrounds/Blackgradientbg.jpg" cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 border=0>
<tr><td><center>
<table background="http://d21c.com/billie/backgrounds/ButterflySolidbg.jpg" width=645>
<tr><td>



Pictures and stuff here - then the side bordered background, width specified NOT AS WIDE AS THE MAIN TABLE IT SITS INSIDE
<center>
<table background="http://d21c.com/billie/backgrounds/ButterflyBG.jpg" width=610 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=1>
<tr><td>
<table align=right width=480>
<tr><td>

My text and pics here all had to be a width of 480 or less to fit inside the solid/textured part.

Remember to turn OFF the two tables of this side-bordered set before you turn off the main group of tables.

Thank you, Miss Kitty. I'm glad you are enjoying the adventure. Tomorrow we visit more of Washington, and Oregon and meet 68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub for the first time. :)

I love to travel & sightsee!

Have been to 38 States & Canada & Mexico thus far... More to come.

Thanks for sharing all about your & your wifey's trip Diver / Driver D!

& for the great presentation of said trip Billie! Lookin' forward to tomorrow's continuation...

will miss WFW but this reason makes the missing understandable and more bearable.

BBL for a more "indepth" review :o)

Oh oh. I knew I should have proof-read thiss :)

Welcome back.

[Diver Dave]

I can Only Imagine the Great Time you had, as you Beheld our Lord's Glorious Creations.

Mrs d thinks I should keep my eye on the road instead of checking out the scenery. The passenger seat does have a better view, but the other driver doesn't pull over as often as I do. :)

We did indeed behold many beautiful sites by our Creator. Probably a week's supply of photo ops and narration for FR's Finest.

[Diver Dave]

Hurry Back! :)

Okay. I have returned

[Majie Purple]

Wonderful "special loads" post!
