@ Lee..... Is this where you suggested we go today? We were already there by the time you posted. LOL Went to see the church and from there went to Tombstone. It's the Helldorado weekend in Tombstone, and we met a couple of Ruby's friends who were in period garb. From there, we headed over to Boot Hill. I'd already been to Tombstone, but Ken and Ruby had never been there. It was fun. The church was a bit of a problem to photograph, because of signs all over the place, a swap meet there today, and some old cars on display who parked right in front of the main entrance, but I still got enough shots for memories, if nothing else.

Guess I'd better start trying to catch up here.

:)

Evening all!! very late today! my grandson treated me to a shopping spree t my favorite little shop- crystals,books,jewelry,statues,drums,windchimes...........treasures from all over the world owned by a very special couple - I haven't been there in years! Found a beautiful Buddha and a Celtic knot pendant with chakra stones set in it! More great hugs,! And another beautiful drive!

Heading back to see what you all have been up to!

Waving to Anne! Looks like you've got beautiful weather - fabulous image of the mission! Hope you are having the time of your life!

I survived Pumpkin Palooza 2014. Each month there is an event at work, and todays was all about pumpkins. I was able to get some cute snap shots of the animals getting their pumpkins. The cutest were the otters with their fish filled pumpkin. Even the shark were given a couple.

Hi #53!

Hello!

Hello #53!

Hi 53...going back to finish 52.
Got home late from the festival. Good day, not as good as last weekend! but I had a great Visit from ........somebody from our group!!!! Woohoo, Penny Lisowski. visited today from Winder, GA... I was just delighted that she drove up to see me. Rick and I really enjoyed meeting her and her husband Chuck. Lovely people and she gave me some great festival/photographic tips..hoping we get together again soon...Thank you so much Penny...you are the best!
and I did have another interesting visitor....no comparison of course to Penny but Rosalynn Carter was at the festival and she visited my booth. She was campaigning for her grandson Jason for governor. We had a nice chat about Jimmy's artwork . He paints in oils as well. She remarked that they had artwork all over the house and I commented that she had a special look when she said that that reminded me of my husband when he says the same thing. She was caught in the act and laughed. She gave me an address to write her and she would give me a personal tour of Jimmy Carter's paintings. I gave her a small print of my mules to give to Carter because after all, he was a peanut farmer...and she asked the medium, said she would give it to him. It was quite an honor to meet her. You would never suspect she was 87 years old.
Hope you guys have been behaving.
Great pictures Anne...and hello back!

Very cool, Jan!

See you all tomorrow

Wow jan! That's so cool! Sounds like a great day, and so wonderful of Penny to have visited you!

Nancy sounds like a fun day!
Terry F - you sound so excited about your new acquisition ! So when do you get on the road?

thanks to Terri and Joan...
Joan, we never tire of your face no matter how many times the evil twins put your face on here.
BTW,I could use a few twins to help out at the festival and home.
Waving at all of you. caught up.

My contribution for Saturday…

http://fineartamerica.com/featured/pink-magnolia-blossom-ram-vasudev.html

Jan _ wonderful new painting! Hope you have a great day tomorrow!

Jan, what an exciting day you've had. I'm so glad the weather is cooperating for you this week too. And what fun it must have been to meet our Penny.

If things go as planned, tomorrow we'll take a ride to see those housing complexes I wanted to check out. I guess we'll have to call in the morning and see if we can come up there before we leave though.

http://fineartamerica.com/featured/panoramic-seascape-with-castle-stockholm-sweden-marianne-campolongo.html

Great story Jan - hope tomorrow goes well too! So nice that Penny came by and then getting to meet a former First Lady too! I turned 18 just in time to vote for Jimmy Carter in '76 and was thrilled to attend a press conference he gave for college newspaper editors at the White House a couple years later - but it was in a large room so didn't get the chance to meet him. I so admire the work that he and Rosalynn have done in the years since he left office with Habitat for Humanity and other causes that really help people. She always seemed like a wonderful person - how exciting to meet her and get to chat in person! Did you know they had a solar shower at the White House when he was president? (Can you guess I'm a tree-hugging Democrat from New York?) They've been married for 67 years - pretty amazing - thought you'd enjoy this clip: http://www.people.com/article/jimmy-rosalynn-carter-67-years-marriage

It's midnight here so thought I'd try to get my Sunday image in before the big skip.

Night all - see you in the am!

Greetings everyone. Just returned today from leading a history-related tour in PA. I managed to find a few moments to capture a few images while on the go. Really missed the group over the past week. I will be working back through #52 over the next few days to see what I missed.

Jan ... what a great moment at the show with Mrs. Carter! Thank you for sharing.

Anne ... enjoy the time away in AZ!

http://fineartamerica.com/featured/this-ones-not-for-winter--grand-tetons-belinda-greb.html

Wow, Jan, that's one amazing day. I love Jimmy Carter - a man of integrity - not quite old enough to vote for him, but old enough to remember how tough he had it during his presidency with the Iranian hostage crisis and awful economy.

Good night.

Probably not many people still up and about but am posting this older photo now as we're heading for the mountains early this morning (Sunday.) Will be my last post for at least a week but I'll check in and try to stay current with votes/likes. Beautiful work from everyone today.

I was pleasantly surprised a few minutes ago. Had a small sale earlier and I believe the buyer left a comment saying she had also spent many a time fishing off the pier (I had made a comment in my narrative about fishing on the pier as a kid with my Dad.) Made me feel good to know my photo brought back nice memories for her.

Anyway, ya'll take care and I'll catch up with everyone tomorrow evening .... somewhere in north GA. .. waving at Jan as we pass by. :)

Safe trip Helen, and have a wonderful time. I'll talk to you when we're both back home.

Another view of Mission San Xavier. I was really annoyed when a couple of cars pulled in (just one here, but the other one was right behind him) for a supposed car show, right where people set up their tripods to get a full front view of this magnificent and still active Mission Church.

@Jan it was cool that Penny L drove to see you...

So much seems to be going on! I should have taken notes. Caught up on #53, I still have to go back and catch up #52 before I will post.

Sounds like you are having a great time Anne! Hope you get a chance to look at some housing and find something that will fit your needs. You deserve to be living surrounded by beauty and nature.

Yes, Ellen, I am really excited about this trailer. It is something we have been talking about and saving for a few years now. My husband started to drag me out to look at a few rather dilapidated, older trailers, because he assumed that this is all we could afford. That made me realize how quickly he is willing to settle for less compared to me. I suggested we have a look at a place that sells new and nearly new, and we got a new one that was below dealer's price because up here they try not to carry any inventory over the winter. We had to finance a large part of it, but I figured it was better to pay a bit of interest and start using it right away rather than wait, since our years of being fit enough to camp are limited. I now have visions of spending winters in Texas with some camping to explore the state while we are there, and dividing the rest of the year between home and garden work, and camping in the mountains. Retirement is starting to sound exciting! I am also very nervous about it all. This is our first camper, we have never towed one, and there seems to be so much to learn about how to use and care for one. It is only 15 foot, but my husband's driving skills are not as great as they used to be, and I have always been a very nervous driver. I spent all day yesterday reading up, and locating and making notes about possible free or cheap places to stop while we are on route to Texas. I want to avoid driving into cities towing the trailer to find a Walmart or mall that allows overnight parking.

Jan, it sounds like you had such an exciting day!

Nancy, that pumpkin day with the animals sounds like such fun. Were you able to get any pictures? I know you were "on duty"!

Have a great trip Helen, and anyone else travelling. On Friday we are off for our week in Banff. I am hoping the weather holds up nice for it.

@Joey - I used to dream of painting in Paris as a kid - how wonderful it must be! Loved those doors - you really captured them beautifully! Did you paint as you were there, just sketch and paint later, or do you take photos to paint from later on? I'm always so curious about painters. You're so talented!

To all on vacation or with trips coming up - enjoy! Off to do a few more errands around the house, then heading out for a short walk in the nearby woods with my husband as I'm finally feeling a little steadier on my feet. It was supposed to be cloudy today but the sun is now out and it's lovely As Lins would say, laters!

Bob, that's my home stomping grounds you just posted! What a sight for sore eyes, especially as my thoughts are starting to turn more and more to Texas. We are about a 20 minute drive from Canyon Lake, probably about 10 minutes as the crow flies. That is where our water is trucked from.

@Terry - I got a couple of ‘snap-shots’ with the iPhone only. Did not even have time for lunch or bathroom break yesterday. I put a few up on Facebook, nothing great though. One of the guests got a great shot of the tigers with the pumpkin, I was so jealous! My team has been doing outstanding this past week. Shattering all expectations of our ‘JV’ team status. I have introduced some new ‘things’ to increase our income during off season, and they came to be proven as good changes. Increased all my numbers that I am judged on. My team is excited, and the momentum is keeping us moving forward. It took us a couple of months and many employee turn overs, but this teams plays well together. Its actually fun to go to work.

I have Tue and Wed off and hoping to get my 'real' camera out and capture some shots.

Belinda, is your power back yet? You are so dedicated, keeping up in the dark!

Question for anyone with work in gallery or other retail outlet - how does that work with payment & sales taxes? Does the gallery/shop send you a monthly check (less commission of course) and they are responsible for the sales tax? I have an opportunity to have some work in a local shop, and just want to ensure I have my ducks in a row before I set pricing. Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer, either here or in a DM.

Work is really tiring these days -- training the operators in India is becoming very stressful - we are running out of time and I can't seem to get them to think "analytically" == as long as it's ABC,123 instructions they're fine -- but "problem-solving" is kicking them in the a$$ :) -- they really need to think in all kinds of directions to figure out what the problem is to begin with, and they just start getting confused... yikes!!!

Oh well - I shouldn't stress about it so much, it is what it is, but still... I feel like there is some magic key phrase I'm missing that will flip the switch to comprehension on... can't help worrying about it.

Going to sign out of FAA before I cause anymore damage to my galleries!!

(((((( Group Family ))))))

Miss you guys!! Take care!!

Jemmy- In my experience, its up to your arrangement with the Gallery -if it is private they usually take care of everything. If it is a charity like a Cultural Alliance board, sometimes but rare, it will go through you. In most cases, the Gallery wants to handle it all.

Linsey- I added a new ruins shoot to my bucket list with your latest post.

Here is Mondays. A great week to everyone.

LOL hear you Terry. The only way I could cope being in a room full of those freaky dolls was to take pictures of them. They make my niece really mad so I purposely use them as avatars to get her going.....

Night night Terri

Some good news: Got a cover image for a local magazine and a couple inside photos so was prepping the finals after the editor, art director, and production director reviewed a gallery of local snow photos I put together for them. Also working on my bio/artist's statement for the upcoming show and generally trying to catch up with email, clients, housework - 3 weeks of vertigo has put me in a hole but managed a nice walk with my husband yesterday with no dizziness. Not 100% but it's fading. 4-6 weeks is the usual timeframe so at worst I'm halfway through and believe the worst is behind me.

I haven't even looked at twitter (despite lots of auto tweets from here of everyone's work) in ages. Finally managed to get onto twitter briefly till it crashed - thanks much for all the new follows, tweets and retweets,- I had mountains of notifications - was returning the favors when it (twitter) got too busy & crashed but I'll be back on there later and will be sure I'm following everyone and returning all the favors - also I do have a list of FAA people on there & will try to find the link when I'm back on and add all the newbies. Working on a document so I know who's who and can include your hashtags with my tweets so you see them and can fav/retweet your own stuff too. Promise to catch up on all the social media stuff - thanks for the G+ Lee that popped up as an alert on my phone - although it may take a few days. It's 6:10 PM and my husband is on his way home for dinner (very early for him so it'll have to be blue lining to catch up so I can take advantage of an unexpected early dinner and some quality time). More good news :)

Lynne, did I congratulate you here earlier? Went through and liked and faved a bunch of your gorgeous images and left a few comments too.

Another repeat from my southwest desert themed paintings, thanks for your support!
Elizabeth - so good to see you back! I know how frustrating trying to train people oversea is - my experience was they don't get half of it and here's nothing much you can do! Don't make yourself crazy over it!

Had a couple of after the festival sales today, so the sales above are actually real sales..just need to deliver them myself.. One wants me to frame it for her in a $600.00 frame that she found at an estate sale, has some matting size issues...more work for hubby...We had a great weekend. Surpassed my Popcorn sales, but then there were four days instead of three. Got several commissions and three different places asking to hang my work. Had a RETURN Customer from last year! So great Festival!

thank you all for the encouraging words above, you are the BEST!
Finally caught up..long day, unpacking the car, cleaning house and ordering new items.

Linda - congratulations on the blue ribbon
Elizabeth - so glad to see you back
Constantine, Joey and anyone else who has been taking a break - welcome back
Congratulations on the great show Jan, and to everything else with sales.
We picked up the trailer today, and drove it out to park at our daughter's place in the country. This evening we got a phone call that our trailer was beeping. We hurried out there and found out it is the carbon monoxide detector beeping, no idea why or how to stop it. So we will have to tow it back to the dealership to be checked out. While we were there our car battery died, its never done that before. So one more thing to get checked out. Not going to bother posting anything tonight, I just bluelined anyway.

Jan - Thank you! Wow girl - you really did outdo yourself! I'm sure there are many more great shows to come! You've really found your niche and made a name for yourself! You're so lucky to have the support of Rick and your family! I'm sooooo happy for you!

Joey and Jemmy - you're welcome!


Okay - this is good night for real!
Going to be a crazy,busy day tomorrow and I really need to get to sleep but have a thousand ideas running through my mind -
trying to come up with new ideas for the Cat statues - deadline for submissions is Dec! Going to be lots of sleepless nights!

Another project - working some of my nautical images in black and white. I am just learning to print my own work digitally after so many years since I've been in a darkroom. Hoping maybe by the next show I'll be ready.

@Jan - what a fabulous show you had! Sales and celebs! Bet we'll be handing you out mountains of tissues as your show visitors check out your site and decide they deserve to treat themselves to one of your lovely paintings they fell in love with at the show.

@Joey, thanks for answering my question about your painting - I love the HD video concept - you can see the changing light - brilliant way to paint from life even when you've returned home! I have a real penchant for those fabulous ancient doors in Paris and other wonderful European cities, built before we were even colonies over on this side of the pond. Really enjoying your beautiful series.

@Ella - you & your Mom are in my prayers. Glad she came through the surgery okay but I really feel for her - what an awful thing!

@Lee - Your Sonoran Desert image reminded me of my recent trip to Arizona - I never thought an East Coast girl like me who is clearly in love with the water could fall in love with Arizona, but, like @Anne, another easterner, I was smitten. When we retire - and it'll be quite a while since my husband is still in his 40's (Yes, if you do the math he's younger than I am) - I so want to spend part of the year there. I know why you're so excited Anne and I wish you all the best of luck with your move.

@Terry - Best of luck with the trailer - can't wait to hear about all your adventures.

@Ellen - Good luck with the cat statues!

I wanted to make it an early night so better sign off as it's already 1 AM. Good night and good morning to the overseas crowd when you guys pop by.

Let you off Stuart. The shock of the Sales Fairy visiting can affect you like that

Remember the doggy shoot I did the other day where I was very patient with a camera shy Dog? This one is what the customer went for. Buying it as a 12x16 canvas.

http://fineartamerica.com/featured/sleepy-in-the-spotlight-linsey-williams.html

Also sold two canvases to another customer today. One at 34x30 and the other at 30x14. All these sales are at mates rates. However I do not mind at all, its a bit more spending money for me hols.

Oh yes and the printer has now started to give me ten percent discount as trade. I like that bit.

Lins, the maternity shoot went well. We were downtown and by the river.
Had a good time.

All caught up. So many amazing artists on here. As someone just starting out, if I get even a tiny bit of your talent I'll be delighted. Well done everybody.

Good morning everybody.

Excited today. Going to look at a rental place that I've had my eye on online for months..... will be at least next June before I can think of moving in all likelihood, but this will give me an idea as to where I want to be.

And early tomorrow, we're off to Monument Valley.

http://fineartamerica.com/featured/birds-great-horned-owl-anne-rodkin.html

Got this at the Raptor Show at the Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum in Tucson. The birds are not tethered in any way, and fly free. Sometimes inches over your head. It was awesome, as is the entire facility.

http://fineartamerica.com/featured/zion-cliff-and-arch-jemmy-archer.html

Oh, the ongoing tragedy! Stuart, Linsey, Joan - my deepest sympathies. Hope you can bear up under such burdens!

Terry F - Sorry you're having trouble with your new camper. Those monitors - sheesh - I've taken the LP monitor out of our camper permanently, since I can't seem to find one that doesn't go off in the middle of the night (even when our LP is completely shut off). I've replaced it and our carbon monoxide monitor a few times, but they still don't work properly. I know it's a safety issue, but then so is having a heart attack at 3 am! Hope you get yours fixed, so you can enjoy Banff!

@ Anne...that's a lot of walking! Hope you got some good stuff!! Good luck with the rental shopping!

@ Jan...congrats lady!!

@ Terry F...hmmm, sound like gremlins to me!

@ Marianne...The first time I drove down into the valley from Flagstaff (I was on a cross country jaunt) I felt that I was finally home.

All you peeps over the pond hang on tight!!

Have a nice day
Lin

Jemmy, what is an LP monitor? I don't know if we have one of those. There is so much new that we have to learn and real safety issues if we don't. We are going to Fernie, not Banff (much the same but not as spectacular) and we are not taking the trailer. This will be the last year using our time share resort. We had to get rid of it because the costs were just skyrocketing. Which means the poor dogs have to stay home and I will be worrying about them constantly. Our son lives in our basement apartment, and our grandson two doors down, so even though neither is terribly reliable between the two they should get fed and outside a few times a day. That will be the great part about camping, it will be a family thing.

Forgot to say congratulations to all those with sales. Lins, your patience really paid off with that one! Looks like you wore him right out.

Note to self - I am not jealous! I am not jealous!!
For a while I had been feeling good with my sales on here averaging about one a month, enough to keep the ego stoked. Then in April they seemed to just dry up, with the exception of one card to a fellow group member. I don't understand it because I am finally reaching the point where I am getting happier with my work, at least I do not hate most of it when I come and look back at it a few months later. But then my tastes have always been different from the norm.

Terry F - LP is liquid propane, although technically, if the monitor senses it, it is a gas at that point.

Stookey! Condolences!

Marker.

I wrote a novel congratulating everyone - kudos to @Lins & all those with sales - telling @Gary that I litterally said "Wow" out loud when I saw today's photo- thanking you guys esp @Lynne for the portfolio visit, @lee for the g+ and all the rest who've been sharing via social media, @Kim and @Pam for the features, kudos to @Linda for the blue ribbon, wishing all you guys across the pond in the still United Kingdom stay safe, etc and it disappeared.

Good thing, you have less to read.

Have to get back to work - paid, show stuff (bio & pricing - still agonizing over it) and housework - so gotta run. Marker M.

Morning and lots of congratulations on sales! Joan, Kim, and Stuart (nice ex!)

Hi all! Caught up the last 48 hours! I commented on one day I missed and blue lined the other. I am so tired!

Here is another repeat for me. It is going to be repeats for a while. This painting is kicking my tail! Flowers are so daggone challenging to paint! I can't wait to be done with this painting! I may have to put it aside so I can paint the kitty for a going away gift. But I could use a different pace for a bit!

Well hope you all are doing well, and I am passing a crate of tissues around for all the sales!! Well done folks and congrats! :)

Talk to you all soon! Nighty Nite!

Wonderful Wednesday,
Wonderful Artwork,

I am fixing to take a wonderful hot bath. Our son came over last night to help his dad get the water heater in the attic. It was too much for me as a second hand. I had to take a hobo bath with microwaved hot water. Brings back a few memories :-)))

Lol Ella! Enjoy that hot water!
Wonderful work to start my morning!
Be back later!

Enjoy your bath Ella, when our heating broke down last winter we had the kettle and four pans of water on the hob and boiling continually for about half an hour running back and forward trying to fill the bath, that's when I wished I had a smaller bath but it was great eventually!!

Good Morning,

http://fineartamerica.com/featured/japanese-wonder-shell-cindi-ressler.html

It's 31 degrees here this morning and I am so not ready for this weather yet. But...that glorious October morning light shining thru the pines and the fall foliage out there is making it hard to concentrate on business! Guess that I will take the good with the bad!
Walking the artwalk and will be back to post.

Good morning everybody.o

Heading out soon to Monument Valley, so will see ya when I see ya!!

I want to thank Terri for working on a photo for me from the maternity shoot.
If any of you ever need editing work done, Terri is the gal to go to. I have used her before and I know Jan has too.
Thanks so much Terri.

Good afternoon. Well it is here anyway.

DUMB AND DUMBER HAVE LEFT THE BUILDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now to make the most of the peace and quiet for a short time, until the next batch arrives. I am told that the pole dancer was not impressed with the bathroom having carpet on the floor, as it could be a problem when she comes home from clubin and she throws up on it. So still not sure if this idiot will be the new neighbour or not as yet.

Belinda I hope you are feeling better today. Have you got a ncie neighbour to bring you a cuppa?

Anne I wish I was going with you to see Monument Valley. Enjoy.

Kim I am glad the baby shoot went ok for you.

Lee- Didn't you just get over that crazy cold weather? Its going to be 82 here today and not a drop o rain... bugs are still coming through the drains.. not liking it.

Good evening from Southampton.
I hope there isn't a speed limit on this thread. Got to everyone who managed to bring themselves to look at mine.
Welcome Alan from Scotland, you are doing a grand job following the rules. Loving your work.
Kim, thank you X
A quick reminder to paste your links at the top of your posts as those travelling have problems clicking them on their mobile devices.Not that I'd know as I don't have one but I've hear Joan mention it often.
Going to play with photo shop, I'll be less grumpy then

Lins, your neighbor saga is almost as suspenseful as the TuTuman episodes!
Belinda, I'm sorry you hurt your back, but am glad it's doing better. Thank goodness for muscle relaxers!
Debra, It is ok/expected to like your own work. I was your first!
Bob - nice yard!
Ella, I'm glad your mom's surgery was successful, and will keep her in my prayers for recovery and rehab. Also, happy your water heater has been replaced! When ours went, I was so glad it was in the garage. Do you have to replace carpets/drywall, etc. due to water damage?

Rudy – loved your “new” style. Image seemed to remind me of how I feel sometimes
Lee – 31 is a bit cool, but great for working outside! I’ve tractor work to do this weekend
Lins – HAPPY DANCING for you and your peace and quite!

Holly I've only ever sold one to a lady I work with. If I ever get to 2 I'm retiring at the top :)

Hello to you too

No secret to my sales.
Kim offered me some work and being on opposite sides of the Pond she paid me in card sales. I'm so grateful as we in in the UK can't buy our own work at a competitive rate to boost our sales.
Jan has done the same for me, it was her original idea. Bless you Jan. Forever grateful.

Thanks everybody for the nice comments and encouragements of my picture of today.

Denise - I kindda plan on making more of these (and better ones hopefully). All I need are suitable images.

Lol Terri, because of my question, or because of the multiple profile picture changing attempts???

If it's the profile picture it's because I have crappy internet for some reason right now. I think I finally got the right pic!!!

Today was mostly a big waste as I had upgraded to the new PS Cloud 2014 version which is a new stand alone version a few days ago. All was working well after I reinstalled Nik Collection so I decided to uninstall the prior version of PS. Big mistake. 5 hours later, 2 hours with an Adobe Support person working on my desktop remotely, I am now back to square one, the previous working version, and an extra 2014 version that crashes every time I open it. I'm afraid to uninstall it. Since I hadn't yet discovered what the new version's benefits were, guess I'l leave things as they are!

Ella - Hope your mom is recovering.

Terry - so sad about Canada. Yes the whole world is going mad, sorry it got to your corner.

Terry F, it is a sad day indeed.

Good night.

hi gang, been a really long day, but finally got home and managed to blue-line and tweet..
Luckily, I picked up tissues from the store...Terri, Lins, Kim, StevenRA and Joan and everyone else I might have missed. ....trying to recover from the shock and pain I'm sure..
Ella, prayers for your mom...and sorry about the water heater.. :(
Bob nice front yard!
Terri, thank you...you did the wonderful work!!
Lins, cannot wait to hear who actually moves in...meanwhile, pass the Baileys, speaking of Baileys...
so tonight I am at friend's house celebrating his birthday when I get a phone call. I look at the caller ID and it is from Knoxville TN..I'm thinking I don't know anyone from Knoxville, but answer anyway. In a really thick, slurring voice I hear, "Is this Jan, the artist...you know the one that painted Popcorn?" I answer yes, it is...and "he says, good then it isn't a robot number but a real person?" I say yes again, I'm real. He starts blabbing on and on about do I remember him from Cocke County Fairgrounds (yes that's the name of the Fairgrounds for the Popcorn Jam-you can't make this s*&^ up!) that he was a photographer and he bought that popcorn, not the real big one but the real little one? And the sad thing is, I do remember him, asking him to stop taking pictures of my prints. He says well every time my friends see this picture, their jaws drop and they want one too. But my buddy from Kentucky wants that big one you had up, you know which one I'm talking about right? and I say yes and he says.....Well can he have it for $500.00? I say of course he can ( I was only asking $450.00 LOL and lowered it to $350.00 last weekend and sold it.) After many attempts he says so how can he get it? I tell him to call me tomorrow because the connection is bad (the one in his head) and we will set the sell up. He says okay I can't hear you too good either. You know he really knew how to make his moonshine. I said yes that is what I hear, I will wait for your call tomorrow.

no post tonight

So sorry for what happened in Canada...it is definitely a scary world.
Anne, I hope you are having a wonderful time.
Waving to Jemmy, Belinda(glad your back is better), Debra, Angie, and Tom (will speak to the fairy) and Goodnight to Stuart!

Jemmy, I love the Pronghorn deer...
Rudy, great image..

Condolences to all in Canada - awful news.

@Lins - so Happy for you that D&D are gone. I just got an email earlier from a neighbor complaining about the leaves from my trees landing in her yard - I kid you not. I'm not sure how she can tell which yellow maple leaves are from her trees and which are from ours. But she's worried her gardener is going to charge her more for cleaning them up. It's been so windy lately the same leaves are probably blowing back and forth between our two yards.

Congrats on all the sales.

@Belinda - glad you got a new twitter thread going and that your back is feeling better!

Good morning everyone. Thanks for taking a look at my latest.

We had to cut our trip very short and return to Florida due to medical problems so needless to say, I didn't get much photographing done. Did manage a few shots but not much. We'll take another few days away soon ...

Congrats to all with sales. The little wench has been very, very busy around here. Passing tissues to those afflicted!

Went back 24 hours and had to blueline to catch up. Will resume commenting etc after a good nights sleep.

To all of our Canadian friends ... so sorry to hear the news on Wednesday. Seems no place is safe any longer. Praying for all those affected by this latest tragedy. So much evil in the world today.

Good morning to our friends across the pond. Will be back later.

Hello, all caught up!

Sorry about your trip Helen, and sorry about your computer woes Belinda. I'm waiting to install and upgrade some software until after I'm done processing my images of Croatia.

Have a good one and see you later.

Thanks for all the nice comments on my image, it is very much appreciated. Since he all but destroyed the tree last year, maybe I will sell some to help the budget for a new tree or at least one new ornament.

The stroll through everyones art gallery was a wonderful way to start what may be a really stressful day. Only time will tell. I have two employees who over the past couple of days have been sent home early because of being too sick to stay. Todays staff is myself and both of them. Keeping my fingers crossed that at least one of them makes it in.

Jemmy: the water heater is in the attic above the garage. we have water stain on the ceiling but no other damage. will have to think about painting. Heater had a pan under it to catch the overflow and the overflow drain but it looks like it blew out from the top and made a watery mess. Thankful for no other damage. Thank you for asking.

Talked with mother again yesterday. She has gone for her first wound therapy. Looks pretty good but still swollen and puffy. Doctor waiting another week before removing stitches. She sounded much better during this conversation. Thank you all for asking about her.

Congratulations on all these sales...happy, happy :-)))

(sorry but I just can not cry over your sales...I am always the happy happy supporter.)

Thank you Terri!

Happy Thursday, thank you all for your continued support. Have a wonderful day and GO BRONCOS!!!

@ Jan...What an interesting call! Hope it is on the level and not just moonshine talking!

@ Marianne...your neighbor needs to get off the computer and grab a rake!

@ Belinda...will visit the new thread! I try to connect with everyone, but searching takes so much time. Also just finally got most of you into a separate feed for FB so I can check you there more easily!

@ Donna...saw your new work on FB...awesome!

@ Helen...so sorry that your trip was cut short. Hope that it was nothing serious...sending hugs!

Afternoon all, well it is here.

Donna, so glad you and Sammy are begining to settle down. {{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}

Blimey Belinda sometimes you could just get a lump hammer to these pooters and the ruddy so called upgrades of this and that. Bloody nightmare that the time is wasted on the damn things. However, having said that I wouldnt be without them. Thanks for the Bailey's.

LOL Jan @ Cockes fairground. Congratulations on that sale, thats fantastic.

Marianne my jaw dropped when I read about the leaves. I mean, strike a light for heavens sake. Has this person got nothing else to worry about! Geez some people need a damn good kick up the arris dont they.

Helen, so sorry you had to cut your trip short. Hope all is now well?

Ellen, glad to hear your mum is doing better.

Terri I hope you are having a good time without that @#$£% today

Well. The chap that had the Labrador pic done was happy today and so was the lady who bought the two big canvases. She wants me to take pics of her dog to, this one is another Labrador but cream this time. Also she wants pics done of her family, which I wont look forward to but at least I managed to persuade her to have some informal images done instead of posed pics. Dont know when that will happen as its a matter of geting them all organised. I think there is a big tribe of them so it could be a lucrative prospect. Got a small decorating job to do for someone else to, in the near future.

Ah well I wish every week was as good as this one. Its a lovely feeling to see your pics done in a large format as these were. Mind you I can see loads of faults for heavens sake. But hey I took the dosh and thanked her very much as that will pay for my petrol when I go to the lakes in December. I hope you guys havnt forgotten the B & B and the pub is booked for you all?

Gary, I love your shot today. How did you get so close. When I was there, the guards wouldn't let us near it.
Mine are terrible.
