You guys are way too sweet! If you saw my wrinkles in person you'd all run out and buy "Professional Portraits", too! (The program that saved my face here!) :)))) It's THAT GOOD!
My Moms family all had wrinkles on their foreheads in their 40's and well, I am my mothers daughter. FOR SURE! :D
Thanks for the big boost and for making my day. And Stan, I do smile. A lot! Just not too often for the camera.
GREAT seeing each of you!

Thanks for the dedication, Pom, and for giving all of us a treat! There the Real You sits, surrounded by all that natural beauty. And you fit right in.You mentioned a post-camera editing program that treats your features kindly. My little Fuji has a setting for portraits shot in two ways, natural or "enhanced". Guess which one I prefer? HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Enjoy your weekend, enhanced in any conceivable way! #10802765

Good to see you ladies!
Yes! It does pay to listen to my friends. Especially if it is you guys! :D
Well, this didn't go gold but did you see the one that did? It's fabulous. A woman cooking that really needs a vacation to Hawaii! I BET WE CAN ALL RELATE!!!
SSSKiki, you just relax today. No one is more deserving of this than you. I am just sad you are having to be in pain instead of really resting.
THEY ARE PREDICTING SNOW HERE TODAY! WHAT????????!!!!!!! Likely just a little to remind us of what is on the way.
Thanks all!
