Yes, at long last the Centurytel techs found the right cables to replace in order to get our connection working again out here in the boonies. It went out Sunday night at some point between 4 and 8 p.m. and it’s been a long stretch without it. I have loads of emails, lots of catching up to do on comments. I glanced over a few of them and let me assure you all I missed you just as much as you may have missed me. You’ve become an important part of my life over the last three months.
If they hadn’t gotten the cable repaired by early this afternoon, I was seriously thinking of heading to town later to borrow Benny’s work wi-fi and an empty office space and try to “reach out and touch someone” as the old telephone company commercial jingle said. With the price of gasoline and my back still troubling me from Monday night’s excursion to the Photoshop class (had one of those long, sleepless nights after that), I am so very glad to see all those connection bars without a big red “x” over them. Well, that and the simple fact I was going slightly nuts without my email and Internet.
I’ve done a lot more playing with Photoshop, trying a few new things with mixed results. I am wondering if I may have to switch to having the mouse in my left hand for more precise use of some of the editing tools. In the meantime, here’s some of my newest stuff. My gosh, but that Richard Armitage is a fine-looking man!





I missed you too Angie and I’m happy you’re back on the web to feed our RA addiction !
Thanks! Glad to be back.
Sooo glad to see you’re back!
Hooray!! You’re back! I was beginning to have TAE withdrawal symptoms!
Did you go to see that performance?
I wasn’t just beginning to have blogger’s withdrawal, I was in it. I didn’t get to go to the performance, but Benny filmed it and he’s showing me some videos he created, so I am still getting to see the highlights.
I’m glad you’ll get to see the highlights!
Thanks, Judit.
I have missed you. We all have. Now you are baaaack and all is well in the RA world.
Uh, I think I am starting to crush badly on John Mulligan. I don’t remember being so loose with my affections until RA and his characters came into my life.
All bets are off when it comes to Richard and his ChaRActers and what I find appealing in a fellow. Loads of black leather, Guyliner, tattoos, tangled mass of greasy hair, neon orange jumpsuits . . . and dodgy gents I really should know better than to crush on.
Thank you for the glorious boys,Angie!
You’re welcome.
Welcome back!! And thanks for the lovely pictures! I especially enjoy the first, third and fourth ones!!
Thank you!
Thanks Angie, just what we needed
Good!
Welcome back angie! You’ve been missed.
Thanks.
So happy to see TAE in my email inbox today!! It was WAY too quiet without you!!
Lovely pics! First and fourth are my favorites but I really love the watercolor painting look of #2.
Thanks so much.
I’m glad to see you back.
Lovely fanart, I love the “North and south” one…
Thanks, April. Good to be back. And I am glad you liked the fanart.
I love watercolour Lucas…:) Dreamy…
When I used to paint, I preferred working in watercolors. The effect seems particularly suited to S7 Lucas.
