As for the slide show, I have an Apple computer. The photo application that comes with it very simply puts the slideshow together. I just choose the style from several choices, select the music from their choices or my own iTunes library, tell it to fit the length of the music and export it to YouTube.

You always have great ideas and plans for visitors & company, your Tasha Tudor group etc. I'm guessing your sister can't wait until her next visit. As I've said, I'm keeping your DIL's dad in my thoughts and prayers, and as I always say, may the Force be with him. So glad that he's not feeling ill at least. That must make everything even a little more surreal than it already is for him. Being told you're very ill when you don't feel poorly. PS - you probably already know this, but there have been scientific studies done on the benefits of prayer for patients. And many of them have shown significant evidence that patients who pray/are prayed for actually do better. Plus doctors have been wrong before, AND miracles DO happen. So there's every good reason for hope. I'll send one of my favorite quotes along for good measure. It's the one I always try to remember when I'm facing something daunting. Maybe in some small way it might help... ❤️<br /><br />What lies behind us,<br />And what lies before us<br />Are tiny matters compared to what lies WITHIN us...<br />Ralph Waldo Emerson<br /><br />Janet Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04754470262654502312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504150188395321059.post-64080632269914549362016-07-31T16:55:29.840-04:002016-07-31T16:55:29.840-04:00Thank you , Dotsie.
