Ditto James. You've certainly given a stocking stuffer and richness each day, and a personality that shines through.
A very Merry Christmas to you and Janet too, James! Thanks for the daily gift of inspiration and information - Gurney Journey!
Late to chime in, but thanks and good wishes to you, Jim, and to all who stop by this common ground.
Thank you for this inspiring work! Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you and your loved ones!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. I am thinking now about New Year resolutions, in respect of my art especially, although other topics as well. Do you make New Year resolutions?
