1. White are my favorite, but those are beautiful also.
I saw blue ones once, and couldn't believe they weren't dyed. Gorgeous.

2. I love roses, Peg...
...it hits home because I recently cut back a rose plant in our front yard, in order to save it. It's now blooming with pink roses all over! :-)

Ah, sweetie...

It's not a bad picture, but it's not my best, IMHO...

I LOVE them!

Gotcha! :rofl:

It's always wonderful to see you post your pictures - of yourself, of nature, and of everything else.

Oh, and you're beautiful with or without a scar.

Thank you!

There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to...
