PinkGirl,
I took The Twosome to see the National Interagency Fire Center and took this picture. The emblem on the side of the building is huge although you can't tell it in this picture.
Love & hugs,
Marlys

Hi Y'all!

Just got back from a trip to Calif to visit my dghtr and 2 of my grandsons. Tip and Tex alw look so happy! Just their natures I'm supposing...

When Tip was here (pre Tex) she was sipping her cocktail, trying to get the very last sip in, when she lost her footing and fell head first into the glass. Just kind of slipped and slid. With her big tail hanging out. I had to snap a picture. Didn't mean to embarrass her. I shoulda given her a saucer, I'm thinking now. Silly me! Next to my big old all-purpose balloon glass that wine glass seemed so small, yet Tipsy is only little, after all...

Maryls, no Marlys, right? Glad you got your turn w/the duo! They are so fun! And I am extremely impressed that you managed to upload those pics. I tried and tried and failed and failed at that. Tell the truth, now. Did your kids help you?

Hey Catherine, I was a redhead (after I metastasized). I needed to be wild and crazy for a while, having escaped the jaws of death yet again. I understand your decision. Bet you look fab! When you can, O Catherine of Oregon, please post your new look for us all to see.

And Marlys, please keep those pictures coming. They delight me! And [lease give my LOVE and HUGS to Tiptoe and Tex. May they bless your home as they did mine!

Hi Marlys
Thanks for the picture of the Fire Center. I showed it to my husband
and he was happy to see what it looks like. I hope it wasn't too far out
of your way.

The kids look great. Hope to see more pictures.
Have fun with them!!!

Andi,
Believe it or not I did it me ownself!! When we bought our digital camera the cameral store either sold or gave us a program called Photo Finale. On the toolbar is one that says "PHOTO". I clicked on that and one of the options is "Resize". I clicked on that and one of the options is "Web Page Thumbnail". So there!!
Love & hugs,
Marlys
P.S. I saw this as a poster in a Newport, Oregon art gallery and when I found it online I had to copy it.
P.P.S. I also bought a bottle of wine there that had frosted glass with a clear picture window and a beautiful scene on the opposite of the bottle that I had to have. Ken doesn't drink wine so I'll probably have the bottle to pass on the future generations!!!

PinkGirl,
This link has a lot better pictures of the National Interagency Fire Center. It used to be called the Boise
Interagency Fire Center. We called it BIFC. Seemed to have more class than NIFC!!
As you can tell we are still snowed in and it isn't taking very much to entertain me.
We are waiting for decent weather before the Twosome can go motor cycling with the Sober Riders.
Love & hugs,
Marlys

Okay, Marlys. Now you're just showing off. Putting those giraffe in for good measure. WEB PAGE THUMBNAIL -- that's the missing key!

Those children are darling! Ages and names please. Enjoy them. Do they think you're funny getting all excited over a stuffed hamster and a tiger?? My grandkids were amused by my glee. But they joined right in!
