Margaret,
You did a great job with the Award! They are both very professional and so awesome!


Thanks. Very Happy I was just thinking that they did come out good when I read your sentence. Smile Things don't look the same on certain backgrounds, so I tried to use colors that would look good here, on this plum and grayish colored template, anyway.

This is a good day! Let's celebrate!


Celebrations are always good. Very Happy

How about some dancing?

Thanks Maria and Stephanie!! I raised my coffee cup in a toast in Jim and my honor. GG, is that proper grammer?


Hmmm, that is a tricky one. It really should be "in honor of Jim and me."

To Cindy and Jim! party rk01_beviamocisu

Jim and me....that does sound better. I can never get that part right. You know, where you say him and I or me and him.

You put yourself last. I suppose that was a politeness thing that become a rule for standard English.

Before the verb, you use I, he and she, and in, "He and I are winners!" After the verb you use me, him and her, as in, "I am so happy for him and me!"

That is a beautiful picture of the road to the rainbow bridge, if I am not mistaken.

Margaret, thank you so much for all the work you have done on these stories. These would be nothing but thoughts in our heads if it wasn't for you bringing them out.

You're, welcome Cindy. Very Happy

It is that, but that's not all. It goes with your paragraph,

"Let's go take our nap now, my beautiful Simba." She had to lift Simba up on the bed. That was a feat in itself for Mary was weak and tired also. Simba lay as close as she could to Mary with her head on Mary's pillow. That is when the second Christmas miracle happened. ....... Ahead was a golden bridge."

Can you see it now? Or is it too unclear?
