Well it appears that Picasa and Blogger are extending me some co-operation at the moment.. I am really attempting to exercise some patience with both...it is either all or nothing with them it seems!! Could it be that my nerves are somewhat a little frayed these days??? This past weekend my husband and I spent both days cutting back the ivy growing on our red brick house. Don't be alarmed...I managed to convince all the males involved with the renovations that it was staying as it was!!!
