Did you send that weather here. To hit on a Friday afternoon right a rush hour. Still digging out today. Yes, by the way, I have PaintShop Pro, but not as easy as Picnik was. Google is sure messing with us lately. First the whole Chrome thing with the blogs, now this with our pictures. Not a happy camper at all here. They do have the basics, but not the matting and framing with was great and easy. Mark my words they will be messing with Pinterest next.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13721336502963839799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865022255438031627.post-46886448410404621782012-01-21T03:58:49.172-08:002012-01-21T03:58:49.172-08:00I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your Li...I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your Lilac in the awful weather you're having, that's heartbreaking.

Guess time took its ...I'm not sure now Teresa. Guess time took its toll. I can recall some of the handles splitting so maybe they were thrown out or replaced by a new set. Perhaps way back then I didn't appreciate things or realize how 'special' they could become. I have a beautiful canteen of cutlery in silver which I never use - its carefully stored in its wooden box. It was a wedding gift from my dad and step-mother. Also (keeping it company in the cupboard) is my full set of Royal Doulton dinnerware which my late husband had bought to use as everyday crockery. Don't use that either. Stupid isn't it? I won't be able to take it with me and I don't think the young ones appreciate things like this.Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237217955755971642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865022255438031627.post-9015225409548701752012-01-20T03:20:21.922-08:002012-01-20T03:20:21.922-08:00Lovely to see the blanket and cushion Teresa a lov...Lovely to see the blanket and cushion Teresa a lovely bright spot in what is another grey wet day here.
