Det var mange kloke ord fra mange kloke folk. Vi trenger å høre de iblandt. Det passet veldig bra med de flotte bildene - Jeg elsker gamle møbler, det er masse sjel i et møbel som har levd i mange år.
Ha en flott lørdagskveld - Heidi og Balder
Ah - such gorgeous photos and heartfelt sentiments.
Amy .. if you have the time and inclination, you might want to link this post up to Enchanted Oak (http://chrisalba-enchantedoak.blogspot.com/)... She is donating two dollars to a charity in Haiti for every blog that links to her.
If you got to my blog, you'll see a fuller explanation of what to do.
This gorgeous post would be so ideal!
Have a great weekend!
Thanks so much for linking up to Enchanted Oak!
Oh, Amy, this was absolutely joyous, cruising through your photos and marvelous quotes. You brought a huge ray of sunshine into my rainy day. Thank you for participating in the celebration of simple blessings. It's $2 for the medical clinic, and a pleasure to me. I found you through Lady Fi, Amy. That was special. Anyone else who wants to participate: don't forget to hook with my blog and tell me you've posted. You can also just leave a comment on my post, and that will count.

Amy, what gorgeous photos, and beautiful quotes. Such a peaceful feeling coming by to visit you today.
About Picasa, I am definitely not a techie when it comes to computers, but as far as I understand....
Picasa only finds the photos on your computer, it doesn't save them, or move them into different files.
So the photos in your document file are the important ones to keep. They are not really saved twice, and if you delete the ones in your "documents file" then they are gone forever.
Photos that are downloaded onto a CD through Picasa, are saved as a small file size, or thumbnail. This means that the resolution isn't available for enlarging. But copy the photos from your "documents file" and they will be fine, the resolution will be good.
Hope this somewhat explains things, if you have any more questions, please just email me.

just the kinds of things I needed to read/see on a Sunday morning...thank you.
Love this post, Amy! Life can get crazy and it's easy to lose focus, get caught up in the infamous rat race. Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos and wise quotes! Warmest wishes... and hoping it's warming up there in your part of Norway!
