Thanks so much for showing them. I don't believe I have any photos from 30 years ago. Merme We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart? The other heart was given to another for us to find.

That was a glamor type shot for a brochure of a project I was involved in. The photographer was very good at hiding flaws. But if you look you can see my nose is crooked (and quite large) and so is my smile. ~Tina Drama Free Zone. What every gardener loves the most, Begins and ends in rich compost. (Tina)
