I was quite astounded to find out that this photo was on the Top 20 for Week 325! Wow! That was quite a shock! Thank you @mona65 for letting me know through your comment and congratulations...I was traveling from Canada back to Texas at the time and I probably would not have known otherwise. Several people asked about the pumpkin carving...my niece did the carving and she was quite pleased when I let her know how many compliments she received on her work. Again, my sincere thanks for your support! Very much appreciated! :-)

[Louise & Ken]

lol...I'm laughing that I was betting this would be on the TT and already you were being congratulated on same! Clearly I didn't read the comment that came before mine!
