A special thanks at Christmas time for SalmonChantedEvening

The Sunday morning critters and other funnies are something I look forward to so much. I even like to be one of the first to view them if I can I am so eager to see them.

There are many special characters here in the Lounge so I tend to park here. I really love this place. So I wish each and every Lounger a very happy whatever you celebrate.

But I really want to thank SCE for his dedication to the Sunday critters and that proper way to start a Sunday. I know he has fought some bad computer problems to bring us this little bit of joy. It is really appreciated
