I enjoyed it vicariously!<br /><br />Second, if you know who did those bicycle paintings, please email me -- I'd love to get one of those for Rick.<br /><br />And finally, hate the new blogger spacing. I've gone to no spacing, which I don't like, but if I put in spaces, sometimes they are double or none at all or more!

Maybe it was an earlier one. <br /><br />Anyway, I'm back to say I have an idea why your post didn't publish as you thought it would. If you are on the same format as I am in Blogger, if you use the Schedule" section on the right hand side, I believe that you have to click "done" in order for the post to actually publish, even if you click the Publish button at the top. If you don't use the Schedule section, then I'm not sure what the problem was. Hope I didn't confuse. Meant to help.<br />SamSam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358601435867848753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-10596028221629360022012-09-25T14:09:41.806-04:002012-09-25T14:09:41.806-04:00Dear Vagabonde, how wonderful to end your beautifu...Dear Vagabonde, how wonderful to end your beautifully illustrated posting with the glass PEACE. I wish that also to you and to your husband. <br /><br />So many lovely pieces of art--in all sorts of media.<br /> I wish our schools would give much more time to the arts. They enrich our lives and in times of trouble, they comfort us. <br /><br />I always remembering reading about a group of Jewish men in one of the Nazi's death camps. They kept themselves going by reciting each night poems and stories and chapters they had memorized when they were younger and before those hate-filled years of the Holocaust. That's what art can do--keep you alive emotionally.

I would probably be like you and just enjoy looking.<br /><br />Glad to hear the procedure went well for your husband, and will keep you in my prayers for this next one.

What a great Dutch saying and perfect for this park art! It reminds me of the Piedmont Park fairs I've attended in years past!<br /><br />Thanks for updating us on your husband.

I particularly love stained glass, mosaics and tapestry. I'd have loved a big house and the money to spend on it! Lovely post.<br />When my posts go funny I study the HTML in draft to see what's different, and compare to previous ones. Usually it's stuck in another font size and disregarded the default, or ditto the colour. I copy and paste the HTML onto Word, change it with the "Find" tool (control F) then copy and paste it back again. Sometimes it allows me two pictures side by side, if they're small, and a couple of days later it changes its mind and distorts, so I go into the HTML and alter the width and height measurements (saying "How DARE you?" under my breath the whole time, of course.)<br />CarolineLonicerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141723287143567146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-80676549482994271402012-09-21T05:37:24.966-04:002012-09-21T05:37:24.966-04:00What fabulous photos and a great post!

I like the bright, bold paintings a lot and am sure I could display one in my dark stairwell. I've taken to telling people I'm a blogger and asking if I can take their photos. Most are willing.<br /><br />Good to hear about your husband!<br /><br />I would absolutely recommendt that you use Windows Live Writer to compose your posts if you are on a PC. You can compose your posts offline, formatting is super easy, and it automatically uploads photos to your online storage (Blogger automatically gives you free Picasa storage). If you're not on a PC but a Mac, I believe Zoundry Raven and MarsEdit are good alternatives.Emm in Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04945540478030885434noreply@blogger.com
