I sent more pix to Pink. I think her personal email carrier must compress big files and she is able to post the pix whereas I am not. I sent them compressed but they were still too big to post here.
The pictures, when you see them, will be obvious. Pink overlooking the Verrazzano Bridge (connects Long Island to Staten Island). Pink looking at lower Manhattan from Jersey City, NJ. Pink staring in awe at the Statue of Liberty. Pink at Round Valley Reservior in Clinton NJ (to show that NJ is really a nice State). There are a couple done here including our sledding hill (so you will know what I mean when winter comes and I tell you I've gone sledding). Hurricane Noel passes by tomorrow. Maybe if I can, I will get one of her and me in the wind. We were going to take her to the Jersey shore tomorrow but the weather is going to be just awful. She can keep me company while I get some things done around the house.
Hope Pink can continue to post these pics so everyone can see. They go in the book but not everyone will necessarily get the book.

Welcome To The Compressed Picture Challenge...
Oh, Becky. You are a sweetheart! Keeping us in touch with Tiptoe. And Pinkie is doing a yeoman's job posting for the COMPRESSED CHALLENGED.
Not to embarrass you Becky, as your mind is a marvel, bending around concepts that most of us cannot begin to fathom and explaining to us in what suddenly seems obvious ways. But Pink is the one who posts. She lives in Canada. And Tip is the little guest you have. Tehehe. Guess the day is long and the night is fogging your usual brilliant train of thought, sweet Becky. Thanks for keeping us in touch with our little Tipsy and her adventures. We all anxiously await...
BTW, nights will be getting longer. TOMORROW STARTS DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME, EVERY ONE. *FALL* BACK... In case you didn't notice the NEW time change. My computer mouse has thought it began about 2 wks ago. I didn't bother to fill it in on the new rules. 1st SUNDAY (2AM) in November. Till 2nd SUNDAY (2AM) in April. I think. I googled. I'm becoming my children. The computer is all wise and knowing.

That Was Funny!
So funny! In the first pic I looked at, above, I thought I was looking at a RABBIT! The long ears was the stalk of something, growing behind. Tip looks so much bigger than I remember! Great pics. Good camera, Becky! What did you use? Just curious...
Pinkie's personal email carrier is incapable of compressing as well. The Pink One has invented a system of printing, cutting and scanning. Time-consuming, ink-eating but it gets the job done! APPLAUSE!! Thank you, Pinkie!
LOVE TO ALL,
Andi
