A Small Matter of No Real consequence

Hi Cathryn, Is your new cover photo of the hills above you, where the fire was? Just curious.
Love Grandma G.
Dear Cathryn, Is the new picture which shows first, of the hills above you where the fire was last fall? Love Grandma G
Grandma G!
I actually the picture was taken in South county. I took it on january 3rd, a practically spotless day! :)
In the words of Squire Hamley...its all a bit deep for me :) But, you impress me.
Love, T
T,
Don't be impresssed. To paraphrase the quote in my college's tutoring center--I forget the orig. author-- Always immitate the actions of winners, even when you lose. For all you know I could really be a loser who is imitating the actions of the truly deep. :)
I DON'T think so!
