@tyan: Thanks, Ty ... you've been too busy running your 'hospital'; I'm amazed you even wrote. This time too, will pass, Sweetie, but surely isn't easy going through it. This morning I was reading Joshua 1: 1-11, "Be strong and courageous..."
Thanks for the early anniversary wish too! xx
@Lorraine: Thanks, Lorraine!

I love the processing here, Judy! It's just beautiful, the light, the colors. So well done. I'm looking forward to Sundays!

Makes me want to go for a stroll down that lovely avenue. Join me?? Love the painterly effect. Very beautiful. 49 years of living and loving with the same man. Pretty wonderful. Looking forward to a year of your special postings that will carry you through to your 50th. Isn't that just mind blowing??

@Marion: Thank you, Marion ... I've been wondering what I could do that would be different and looking through some old, scanned photos gave me the idea. Granted, some of the photos are poor in quality, but super memories none-the-less. It's been fun choosing 52 to use.

Dearest Judy....you make use of that FotoSketcher so skilfully that I really thought it was a painting that you photographed!!!Until I read below it....Well, you see, our marriage anniversary is also on the date of 12!!! What a coincidence! But......next year is going to be very, very special!!!! I look forward to all the promised photos important to you and Mike!

@Japanalia: Thank you, my dear friend ... but I expected you would already be asleep! ;D
I appreciate your comment on the 'painting' ... I think it's special too.
Thanks to a WS friend in Australia (Peter, known as georgieboy), we've decided to make this whole year special as they did - not just one day.
