The waterscapes look very inviting. I've always wanted a little waterfall next to the porch so I could just sit and listen to it.

Well let me expand on that thought for you.
You can use these for different moods.
There are more images connected to any of these.
These are from three or four different ponds & falls.
I probably have 9/10 sets of different pond images.

The difference between theists and atheists is that the atheists don't set the theists on fire for refusing to agree with them.

Thank you! I personally prefer the more natural looking ones, but they are all lovely. I can imagine sitting next to them, listening to their music.

I do love that pond, Head. I'd like to go sit by it with a book and just let the hours drift past.

Thank you Boran2,
If you see anything you`d like to use as a subject, you`d most certainly be welcome to anything. (hint, hint)

I know I'll come to the end of tweaking someday, won't I? I'm afraid to work the math on how long it takes to tweak 20K records. Of course, some records need considerably more tweaking than others.

Ask, I hope you have fun with swimmer this weekend. Will she be arriving tonight?

I can't believe it's already Friday (and nearly the middle of the month to boot). Where did the week go?

by CabinGirl on Fri Oct 10th, 2008 at 07:56:25 AM EST

She comes in around noon and will stay till Tuesday.

I'm glad it's a little longer than just Sat-Sun.

Wow-back to work! I hope the week has gone fairly well, and there have been some positive changes at the office recently.

I need to call curly and tell her I got my yarn for our upcoming sweater knit-a-long...

Not much positive changes. I'll give you an update during the knit-a-long.

We get all the national holidays off, except for MLK's birthday and veteran's day. I think I'm the only person I know who doesn't work for the government that gets columbus day and president's day off.
