Default A little help from our friends

I don't normally post this type of things, but Ron asked me to do a marble engraving for him.

He wanted a picture of his friends and I thought your reactions to it would allow him to help see it.

So Ron here is the simulation.

The picture has the names under the people and this ;

Although the time we spend together is fleeting,
the memories of friendship lives with us forever.

Couldn't you have photoshopped it a bit to make me look a little less dorky, Garry????

Hey Garry, Hey Ron ...

It's the photo line up that Garry took at the get together where we were all standing along the split rail fence. Goody looks bold and strong just as any Harlie rider should, Anna has that sweet gentle smile of "I'm enjoying this because he's enjoying this" look. Hazel has this smirk and I am sure she is thinking "AH! Another hoard of Garry's buddies to feed" ... Me ... well, I'll leave that to someone else. Lu knows he is the center focus of the photo and I believe he was correct in that assumption. Colin's looks like he has some unspoken, hidden, I'm not telling joke going through his mind. And Bob ... is dorky a word???

Oh ... forgot Garry ... He looks like he's thinking "They'll make me pay for this one day".

It's a great engraving, Garry!

Susan

OH! See Susan at three years old, pig tails in her hair, pink shorts and a little lace top THROWING herself onto the grocery store floor, pounding her fists violently against the tile, slamming her new hard saddle shoes onto the floor in loud thumb-thumb-thumbs, screaming at the top of her lungs ..........

"I want one of those!!!!"

The look on my face guarantees that dorky is a word! When you open the dictionary to look it up, expect to see my face smiling back at you <GRIN>

Is it dorky to suggest that you leave the 's' off the end of 'lives'?

All the best

What a motley crew.
BobD,
If we are going to photoshop something we could take part of my Gut away.

Susan,
OH! See Susan at three years old, pig tails in her hair, pink shorts and a little lace top THROWING herself onto the grocery store floor, pounding her fists violently against the tile, slamming her new hard saddle shoes onto the floor in loud thumb-thumb-thumbs, screaming at the top of her lungs ..........

"I want one of those!!!!"
I didn't picture you as a little girl throwing herself on the floor having a tantrum. I think you did it when you seen the posting.

Oh ... forgot Garry ... He looks like he's thinking "They'll make me pay for this one day"

He's not thinking he's coniving. What kind of trouble can I cause next.

Colin is just waiting to help Gary get in trouble.

Ron looks like he thinking--- Where the heck am I and how did I get here.

Lou is thinking come on take the picture I have to Pee.

The ladies look like they don't trust us guys.

That was a great day. It was what this forum was about, a group of people with the same interests sharing thier ideas and some honest freindships came about because of it.


And by the way!
I Want one Too!!!!
Goody & Anna
