    I thought, with your love of mountains, that you might like to see this photograph my friend Jean sent to me from Canada. :-D As soon as I saw it I just had to copy it and post it for you. Hope you like it. :-D

    Thank you, I received your order form and I will take two. :stew1:

    It's 105 here right now and going up. Maybe if I blow on the picture I can get some cool air to bounce back off the snow caps.

    What a beautiful picture Eileen!
    I must admit, though, that I would rather have 105° than snow .

    Netty, you are use to snow and maybe tired of it, but I wouldn't wish this horrible Texas heat on anyone. The heat index in east Texas this afternoon was 114. Probably about the same for Toni.

    Eileen that picture is beautiful. I wondering if I look at it long enough if I will cool off!!!! :rolleyes:

    :p :p :p


    There is a slight chance we could reach 110 real temp today and that puts the heat index between 115-120. I am really going to enjoy those pictures this afternoon.

    It only reached 107 yesterday.....gee ONLY 107 :rolleyes:

    If we need to do anything away from home we do it in the morning then hibernate for the rest of the day. Our central AC has really gotten a work out this summer.

    Beautiful mountains! I know we'd love some of that cool air to dip down here, possibly as far as the Gulf of Mexico.

    What a great pic. That is refreshing to look at, although I have nothing to complain about after hearing the temp in Texas this week. We've gotten hot but not that hot.
