      Not really happy with this but its so late.  State property taxes which includes cars, special items like jewelry and of course your home as well.  Lots of folks are running out of cash and I still can not get <chokes> toilet paper.

      Folks are starting to panic again a bit I fear.

        I know the pen is mightier than the sword but I admit it really nearly beat me this time. I figured it out though ,

        Do not put a new paragraph in the text when the wave you  are riding is just so big.

            This is one old castle. It has ben stuck on my computer for around ten years. The poem is an old one too but I have been reading about knights and fair maidens since we are having rainy days and even early morning frost.

            I made the papers for this one and the dragons are old stock as well.  I always have enjoyed playing with the perspective tool.

              Trish: Not sure which browser you use so here  it is for them all.

              Microsoft Edge Browser:
              Open the “Settings” menu by clicking the three horizontal dots in the upper right corner of the Edge window.
              In the window that drops down. Zoom is third from top.
              Use the plus and/or minus signs to get back to 100% or where you want it. I use 125% due to being near sighted far sighted.

              Google Chrome Browser:
              Same as aove except Zoom is Seventh on the list.

              Windows Internet Explorer:
              Go to View Menu- Zoom is sixth on that list.

              I do hope this fixes your problem like it did mine.

                Trish:  This happened to me about a week ago.

                Some how the browser’s zoom settings changed.  I hope this helps you.

                  This fifty years really flew past me so fast.  I do see some progress and action by the younger generation but then again I was part of that generation.  It seemed no matter how hard we tried to wake folks up about the pearls our mother earth was facing have not been diminished by a whole heap today!

                  Happy Earth Day

                    I got this from my breeder today.  It’s little Trixie, my sweet lil gal,  when she was 3 days sold.

                    The elements are from a bundle  “Furry Friends” created by Fran Baity as FranB Design in 2011.

                      I spent some time on this one.  I did manage to get Cassel’s boots all muddy though <giggles>

                          It is nice to see so many familiar faces and lots of new folks signed up for this next PSP juncture taking on the fascinating world of text.

                          Glad to hear our beloved leader is feeling a lot better and ready to amaze us with new found tricks and ticks to keep our words in line instead of them gallivanting all over the place .

                                Annie:  I to have occasional spells like that and know it is no fun.

                                What works for me is filling a sauce pan half way with some Witch Hazel, dump in some ice cubes then soak a tea towel with the mixture.  Wring it out gently and wrap around my hands for about 5 minutes  at a time.

                                I am so sorry you,  too have to suffer through times like these.  I look forward to seeing you back in the next challenge. Big gentle hugs for you kind Annie.

                                  M = Mr. and Mrs. Smith   (2005)   John and Jane Smith are an ordinary suburban couple with an ordinary, lifeless suburban marriage. But each is hiding something the other would kill to know: Mr. and Mrs. Smith are actually highly paid, incredibly efficient assassins–and they work for competing organizations. Mr. and Mrs. Smith both discover a new source of excitement in their marriage, when they’re hired to assassinate each other–and that’s when the real fun starts. The result is a total action spectacle, as Mr. and Mrs. Smith put their formidable skills to work and their marriage to the ultimate test.

                                      Here is a totally  different submission to this challenge.  The eggs, basket,  florals,  and chicks are totally my fault.

                                      Everything else was old tubes.

                                          Thoughts of Easter past:

                                          Those of the  child who loved the Easter Bunny.

                                          The teenager who loved sunrises and wildlife.

                                          The adult who loves flowers and things that are pink.

                                          The older lady on the block who wishes all of you and yours a wonderful Easter.

                                          HAPPY EASTER

                                                    I put the film strip Cassel gave us awhile back t good use I think.  I actually enjoyed using this template. Once again   I thank Cassel for getting me over my fear of templates. lol

                                                    The Shenandoah valley is a beautiful place. The  belief is that it comes from a Native American expression for “Beautiful Daughter of the Stars”. When you stay in the mountains  and look down into the valley at night it appears as if someone threw a bucket of diamonds onto some black velvet.

                                                        I have often wondered if she truly knew what was in store for her sweet child.
