Many congratulations to both of you, along with bunches of wishes for many more happy years together!! Are you sure we weren't twins separated at birth? Richard and I celebrated our 44th on August 2. You know you and I were born only a few weeks (and one very big ocean) apart. It's getting a bit spooky. :-)

@claireuk

Claire - thank you - this one is for you - my last post re my dad http://365project.org/quietpurplehaze/add-ins/2014-08-22

[Darlene]

This is a fabulous collage. Happy Belated Anniversary. Love all of the photos that you put in this collage. So nicely done. FAV

[Darlene]

I just read from the link above that you put in a message to Claire with the photo of you and your Dad on your wedding day. Such a beautiful photo and what a life he had. So sorry for the losses in your family. My dad passed in July 1998, was not in war but was in the Navy for 4 years before he married my Mom. It is wonderful to be able to write so much on here and wonderful that we have such a support system and wonderful friends that we make too.

[Hazel]

@darsphotos

Darlene, thank you so much for your comments and I agree wholeheartedly with what you say.

[Darlene]

@quietpurplehaze Thank you, Hazel. Have a great day.

[Ivan]

[Hazel]

@ivan

Thank you. I have 3 processing packages: Windows live gallery, Picasa 3 and FastStone which all have their merits and I choose them for different purposes - playing keeps me out of mischief!
