Thanks Lauren, got there in the end…….IanL…Photo Editor..
Dear Photo Editor (Ian?):
No apologies needed! I’m the one who had the “senior moment” when I failed to recognize my own photo! Boy, do I feel like a big goofball! LOL!!! Thank you so much for making the name clarification to the photo – I appreciate it! Have a blessed day! :)
Lauren
Whoops, sorry Lauren, senior moment…all sorted…. :+)
Hi Lauren
Your postings really made me smile! Never mind, we all make wee mistakes from time to time!
Best wishes.
Laurence
Oh my gosh, I need a nap…I just realized that this photo is actually mine! I took it back on July 7th while I was on my way to a local store in H-ville. I feel so silly! LOL!!!
Beautiful photo! It doesn’t say who took this photo, but whoever did, it’s great to see a CAS member who lives in my town in NC!
