All the new smileys..:faint2:

Why we'd ever really need most of them, I don't know, but for good or for bad, we got 'em :laugh:

Glad to see you got her apart. You or breaking the tower of power down. It's going to look brand new when she is all put back together.

BTW the food looked awesome. I could almost smell it here in TX.
Have a great week.

Why do I think it's warm and nice there?

Maybe its the bright sunny like atmosphere surrounding the area or maybe its the frosty beverage sweating in the near 80 degree heat... oh wait, maybe its the fact that there are actually shadows being cast...I don't know...:rolleyes::D


Thanks Kenneth!:joyous:
