Hi Susan: I just wanted to let you know, I did not lose my checks. They printed up their own checks and how they got my information, I do not know. Anyway, thank you for the prayers. I need them so badly. I love the pictures today. Here's hoping I win your give away! Blessings, Martha

Hi Susan! Your photos are so lovely! I want to be in your 200 Posts Drawing! I live "sort of" new rivers and lakes!...Oh, if you heard anything about the St. Louis area having storms and a tornado today....no damage where I live! Only minimal damage in a small area about 30 miles from me. * sigh of relief *

Beautiful! Did I ever tell you I live in Mass for several years? I lived in Framingham and then on Cape Cod. Loved it. Anyway, I live a couple of miles from a wonderful state park, Sweetwater Creek and it has lots of water and it's beautiful. I will do a post on it one day soon. Need it to stop raining!

Hi Susan, thanks for all your visits. I have so much catching up to do. Love all your stained glass. I'm just remembering I had an angel one from my cousin that I haven't seen recently. Wonder what happened to it. ??? It's so wonderful to have access to lovely state parks, waterfalls, nature. I sure miss that! Wishing you all the best, Tammy :) PS I AM BEAUTIFUL!

Good afternoon Susan,

The lake is wonderful - so clean and peaceful looking.

I live by two lakes - Lake Alltoona and Lake Lanier and when I lived in Chicago I lived near Lake Michigan - of course - lol.

We live by Lake Coeur d' Alene which is 25 miles long and ranges from 1 to 3 miles wide. It has 109 miles of shoreline. Hayden Lake is smaller with "only" 40 or so miles of shoreline.

The birch is beautiful. It's one of my favorite trees...

Hello Dear Blog Friends: Thank you all so much for coming by and commenting. I was away all day and evening and was SO HAPPY to come back and see all my visitors.

I hope you will each come by tomorrow, too! Sincerely, Susan
