I love you all!<br /><br />Lucy and Dick: You were in the pot of names...better luck next time! If I am ever lucky enough to hit 300 I will do it all again and probably give away an 11 X 14 !! ha<br /><br />Far Side: Luckily, I had purchased off line storage (without really realizing it) of many of my Blog pictures, so they are all saved (thanks to New England for reminding me of that and walking me thru it), so I at least know I have all of those safe and sound. However, I had MANY more that I hadn't published on Blogger yet saved on a Picasa program on my computer...I am waiting to hear from the shop if they were able to find those or not! Live and learn, right?<br /><br />Joanie: Thanks, honey. It was a lot of fun to be able to get 200 Followers plus to be able to give something back.<br /><br />Bernie: you have a heart of gold, Bernie and always know exactly what to say to make my day!<br /><br />RNSane: You were in the drawing...so hang in there! If I am ever lucky enough to reach 300 Followers, I will be having another drawing. ha<br /><br />SquirrelQueen: Thanks so much for your good wishes. I have my fingers crossed. Without realizing it, I had purchased off line storage of most of my published on the blog photos...but I had many more in my computer Picasa program that I had not published on the blog and stored off line that I hope I didn't lose. I did just purchase an external hard drive so I hope it was backed up on there...I couldn't find them, but the computer repair shop (I HOPE) did...I will know more next week!<br /><br />Rainfield: Thanks so much. I was so excited when I hit 200!<br /><br />Pearl: you are most welcome! Your blog was one of the first that I found that I really liked and followed...so I was really happy when the number matched up to you and made you the winner!! I evidently (a while back) purchased storage from Picasa on Google that "backed up" all the published-on-my-blog photos, so I do indeed have my blog pictures saved!! So as soon as I can track down your chosen photo, it will be on its way to you. Now, you gotta send me an email and give me your name/address and I can get it to you after I order the 8 X 10 for you. I just framed one myself of a Tiger Lily that my husband made a birch frame for. I love those flowers and have a ton in my yard.The Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-70127933772655770532009-12-20T09:35:55.867-05:002009-12-20T09:35:55.867-05:00Congratulations to Pearl, and hopefully your compu...Congratulations to Pearl, and hopefully your computer problems will be fixed soon.

Thanks, Sweetie! <br /><br />Do you know that I just went all the way back in your blog, reliving each post, and looking at your photos with admiration (and greed?!) in my eyes?<br /><br />:-)<br /><br />I've sent you an e-mail, but for the record, this gal from Minnesota, wants a picture of the Tiger Lillies of her youth. They grow in the dappled light of shady ditches all over Minnesota, and I love them.<br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br />PearlPearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05261369905176088917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-37093273987448060082009-12-19T22:03:19.011-05:002009-12-19T22:03:19.011-05:00Congratulation on this new milestone.Congratulation on this new milestone.rainfield61https://www.blogger.com/profile/01334864123466123667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-48561168600109615822009-12-19T21:57:19.090-05:002009-12-19T21:57:19.090-05:00Congrats to Pearl!
