If you have not made my toaster yet I like the first photo from post#69 on my toaster (A red toaster with with green slots would be perfect)

Thanks for posting the new photos, Kas. Even more reason to catch the rebroadcast tonight. And I LOVE the photo you chose for your toaster.

These pictures, and especially the top one in your post Kaslin, make me sentimental and think I will miss George and Laura after next year. They have both aged, and we with them of course. He is a man of conviction, even though I haven’t agreed with him line for line, and I thank God for his leadership rather than the alternative.

Thank you, Eleanor.
