Susie,
You look worried here in this image --- you have to smile a little more.
You will love it here!

Thanks Jack! Great quote you have..
It was an interesting morning.. I looked and couldn't find a suitable picture of myself to use and so I set up my camera and after about 25 shots and trying to remember to smile, a bit of PS to make me look younger and remove a couple moles I came up with one that I thought was acceptable.. I also managed to get one shot in the portfolio.. After looking at some of the other portfolios I felt a bit intimidated.. For a second.. I keep in mind that there is always someone out there that will appreciate my efforts.. I'll be spending the next few weeks cleaning up and updating my web site.. Just the beginning of a fruitful adventure!
