Shirley,
I totally agree with your sentiment. That’s the way I feel about giving too. Actually, writing about my giving was pretty difficult since it’s a give and forget it thing for me. Someone will pass it on.
Lynda
Pretty busy yesterday so this is late. I didn’t use any of Carole’s video suggestions this time but I have used those methods in the past.
Bonnie, Thanks, I’m glad I’m not alone. I haven’t seen your entry yet. Will go to see it now.

Minks,

Story Time Challenge Day 6
This wasn’t to hard for me because this is the only time I can remember being terrified. Really stupid too because as I got older, The Wizard of Oz” became one of my all time favorite children’s films.
A little late for day 5
I couldn’t think of anything to write about and then it dawned on me, my husband does great with the bar-be-que. So here it is.
Barbara,
Glad I could give you a useful tip. Word also works but notepad is probably the easier feature.
Lynda
Barbara,
I just downloaded the upgrade. I have 2020 and 2019 on my computer and they are not affected but I am having trouble with 2021. When it installs it will ask if you want a clean install or if you want your previous work incorporated into 2021. That is not the way it’s worded but that’s what it does. The trouble I’m having is I can’t seem to get past the opening screen so I will be getting in touch with Corel.
Good Luck,
Lynda
Jean,
Wow, that’s pretty weird. I don’t know what to say except you might want to try the reinstall your program. Or perhaps ask Corel support about the lack of choices for the the freehand tool before you try reinstalling. Maybe Carole has an answer. Hope you can find a fix.
Lynda
Carole, yep, as crazy as that is, two games both pitching and hitting at the same time. I guess our adult supervision was lacking. 🙂
Jean,
The freehand selection or lasso is under the icon that looks like a square selection. Click on that and you should find the lasso or freehand tool under it. At the top you can choose the selection type, point to point, freehand, etc.
Jean,, I don’t know if I’m the one to give you advice but if you have 2020 PaintShop pro you should be able to make a selection on the layer you want your text on , I use point to point, then activate your text tool , click inside your selection and either type your text or as I prefer ,copy and paste your aready typed text from notepad. A text vector layer will be created. You can make changes to your text,size,color,font if you select your text and make the changes. Hope this is helpful. If not you should directly ask Carole. She is always helpful.
Good luck,
Lynda
Gerry, As a kid I’m sure this was not a happy day for you when you were young but you sure put humor into it and I got a laugh. Thanks

Story Time Challenge 2020 – Day 3 Üp to no good”
After flying for TWA, Continental Airlines, Pan American and a few others, my Dad came home and announced we would be moving to Japan. He procured a position with Japan Air Lines (JAL). He would be flying and training other pilots. We were pretty excited to go on this new adventure. The house was put into the good hands of my Grandparents, the brand new Ford Falcon was given to my Uncle Jack and we were on our way.
Japan was a whole new world. We lived in a small town by the name of Kugayama, a suburb of Tokyo. It was a small town with open air shopping, narrow streets and hand drawn carts selling bean curd ice cream….I didn’t like it. We would walk everwhere and would sometimes hear kids yell from their homes “Yankee go home” We didn’t know why but with age you understand. We also had a number of Japanese friends that wanted to get to know us. We went to school on an American base by the name of Green Park. We could also see movies there and go to the officers club to dine.
The Japanese didn’t seem to be very fond of dogs..maybe because they looked at them as dinner, not pets. I had a German Shepard by the name of Fay. We got her from another American family that was going home and they didn’t want to take the dog. Fay was a good old girl. I never had her on a leash. We would go for walks and she would go ahead, turn a corner and sit until we caught up. I didn’t realize it at the time but I guess there were those that objected.
One day my sisters and I went walking with Fay and we followed the train tracks to the next town, Kichijoji. It was pretty far and we were pretty tired so we decided to take a taxi home. Needless to say, Fay was a detriment when it came to hailing a taxi. We didn’t know what to do..cell phones weren’t invented yet. We came up with a devious plan. I would hide with Fay and my sisters would get a cab. When they were safely in the car, I would come out of hiding and usher the dog into the car. I can only imagine what the taxi driver was saying but we knew he was not happy. We played dumb and just kept saying we didn’t understand. He finally gave up and took us home, dog and all. My Mom did give him a pretty big tip so maybe it wasn’t so bad for him after all.
Finally!
I finally managed to put text in a shape, so here it is. Thanks Carole
LOL you have me confused. So, am I right that your name is spelled Gerry but sounds like Gary? I have to say, if that is the case I would have been one of those that called you Jerry. 🙂 Very interesting name story. I like how you introduced this conundrum.
Lynda
Annie,
Love your story and I see you also have old photos. Isn’t it nice people save these little peeks into the past.
Lynda
Hi Carole,
In answer to your questions. Yes, the photo is of my mother and myself in our backyard on 22nd Street in Allentown. I guess I was around 1 year old, maybe and yes, I am lucky to have a photo that old. I actually have a photo of my father when he was around 3 which is really weird because it was taken in Italy.
As far as my name is concerned people just can’t wrap their heads around the spelling but that’s OK because it is usually a pretty good conversation starter.
Lynda with a y 🙂
I wasn’t to sure about this challenge because I didn’t really know what to say. Carole gave me a kick start with her layout, so here it is.
Karon, Cristina and Michele’,
Thanks for your kind words.
Michele, you found an interesting way to do the split frame with your remembrance of Smitty. I think I’ll have to copy your technique.
Michele, So sorry for your loss of Smitty. Looks like he was a pretty special guy.

We had some pretty rough weather in Crystal Lake on the 10th. Thirty years here and we’ve never have had the lights out for more than 15 minutes. This time was a bit different. Five hours, lights out! We felt the need for some illumination so we pulled out our dust covered candle collection. Thought I’d share it with you.
