Here is one of the many from HA wa II for you ECI. (taken about two weeks ago)

Hobby,

thankyou for sharing that - those words touched me deeply, as i read them before the report, but i had to wait to tell you later, after the workday and evening.

...after my loved ones are tucked in tight.

it reminded me of the relationship with my late dad (7-4-2006)- his heart was hardened from, well, a lot of his life. but his last 6 years or so we got to spend a lifetime together--golfing, hunting-he showed me glimpes of heaven through the magic of our bond.

i softened his heart, he enlighted and invigorated mine. one time while driving around the ranch, he asked me, "do you think other people have as much fun as we do?"...i answered, "probably not"....but now i know it was just his way of telling me he was in his heaven when we hung out.

he didn't want to leave me--he new i'd be lost for a while..he needed me to tell him it was ok to go...after a few days God told me how - c-x-1

Hobby, to change the size of your pics right click then open with "paint". Click the "resize" button, change the percentage to 50%, save and check the size by right clicking and click on the properties. Normally I start with 50% and adjust from there. Hope this helps. Nice looking country!

Hey guys thanks for the kind words and help.

I did not just want this to be about me. Surely some of you have some nice picts of interesting places. Post them up.
