Joanne these are all just marvelous. You can just get lost in the images. Our middle one, PickyProf has been but we have never been fortunate to go yet.

Also, thanks for reading. I am here to pick up a link to you and add to the post. I am playing a game of my own to see who actually reads?

There's never any doubt about you. but, it is not what you think!

Have a great week!
