PS: Great picture Harpo. She is just adorable! The little girl and the car!
Thanks Sandy. Katy is a ham for sure!
She and her friends love the old car shows:




If you need any Photo shop help I can give you a few pointers, though I'm nowhere near an expert. I can usually find my way around it and use it quite frequently.I just wish we all had large screens and quick downloads so we all would not have to put up with so much JPG compression on the web. Things are looking better than they did a few years ago. Images are getting better that I see on the web. So many used to be brutal to look at.

I did my banner in Photoshop by merging a couple of pictures of our cars.

OUCH! THE curse of the "EX". I've seen it before!

Here is a link to another post where I brought up some photo retouching. You may find it worth a glance. Just something I did recently.

Great! If they see me, tell them to wave and honk. You'll have to come and visit. The Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola is even better. They also have an old fort you can tour.

That's Ft.Pickens isn't it SB? Have they reopened it? I know the Gulf Islands National Park took quite a hit.Susie and I will be down that way soon I hope.

Great picture, HonestBlues!

No, I was talking about Fort Barrancas on NAS Pensacola. It's down the street from the museum. At least it's all still intact and the history of all three forts is very interesting. Just make sure you don't go in the heat of summer like we did. It's really hot in there. I don't recall if they have the light house open now or not. You might have to go to their website to make sure.

PM me if you guys head to town. I'd love to meet you guys!
