Greetings from London.
Thanks for the G-mail tips. We do have a certain degree of control sometimes.
Love reading the tranquil thoughts.
you're cute. :)
You gift us twice today, right off, lovely photos and quotes, and perfect pointers as well! A big warm Minnesota smile your way..... enjoy your day.
Ha! Ha! I love it, it was like magic! I never click on just any link, unless it's someone I trust, telling me that.... very cool!
thanks for the heads up on gmail.
Thanks, Jolly Pals!
Quite appropriate to use that Sid Caesar quote after his passing this week.
Your peace and smiles are always welcome.
Awww Sid Caesar.. RIP, funny man.
I don't think the everyday person can tell if you open an email from them or not. I suspect it's spammers or those up to no good who would program the image that way, eh?
This does speed up loading of your emails. Thanks, Dears
great quotes
You are magic. Thanks for the tips. The photos and the quotes are perfect as always. i love Rumi...
Hey thanks, girl!
Good suggestions on gmail. I will have to look at that. Nice photos.
Don't ask me! It won't let me associate my gmail address with my google account. Thanks for looking out for us!
