Sorry but I have had very limited time to participate. Changes in the health care industry have forced me to work extra long hours per week to bring home the same pay. Oh well, at least I have a job (jobs actually). happy.gif The quality of photography from the usual suspects remains suburb here as usual.

Take care all!

one of my facorites. Healthcare in our country is becoming too expensive for the government to subsidize-- that being Medicare for the elderly. Medicare is being cut back in all areas and all agencies are being scrutinized. Some of the agencies I contract with must cut back so I have to contract out with another one or two to keep the same patient load.

He went through crozat widening last year but couldn't get him to wear his daily night brace. Now braces are next. Oh the joys (and) cost of raising kids. happy.gif

Ok, i like #1 a lot. Different but your dna is still there. Like that image very much.

Great to see you exhibit. Must have taken up a lot of time. Wish you can share with us how you went about mounting that one.

opportunity to meet local artists. I had the mounting and matting done by a local framing shop for a nice cash discount. The works were hung by overlapping pins. Didn't really make any money but had fun doing it. happy.gif
