how do you get your pics to post directly to your message? I can't seem to find the directions for that... argh!

I've sent you an email, goldiemom, describing how I do the photos with photobucket.com. It is easy once you get the hang of it. All the best, Jim

javan,

Beautiful pics javan. Love your stone walkway and shingles of your house, too...It looks kind of cottagey...

Juanita1, My wife is an ardent reduce, reuse, recycle advocate. She got the walkway bricks from a 50 year old steam heating system in a dormitory that the California Conservation Corp was decommisioning. We then got the standard red brick as a trade from a friend, and put them together for the walkway, and underhouse entryway. The house is kinda cottagey as are many of the houses around here. All the best, Jim Vandegriff
