Still lots of pretty places to visit here.<br />As for the gap - I didn't notice until you mentioned it. My dad had a gap in the same spot, as did one of his brothers. What is it about that tooth? LOL. I also had that tooth removed (and the one on the opposite side) and a brace for my slightly buck teeth to go back a little bit - result, half a gap either side! <br />Terrific fun on the mountain! Sadie looked like she was also enjoying her day. And oh dear poor Irene!

The day before their long-planned European vacation, the husband fell and broke his leg. They had to cancel their trip. The plane they would have taken was one of the two involved in the 1977 collision in the Canary Islands.abelianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12435435610527429193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-90952684664035180112017-08-19T15:10:01.059-04:002017-08-19T15:10:01.059-04:00Whew what a bunch of trials to overcome.

There's a website called visaforchna.org and they have a list of rules for photos under the general tab. No glasses is one of the items listed it also gives measurements for photo and head within the photo. This may help you limit the number of rejections. <br /><br />A couple of my friends were in China for 4 months as visiting professors at a university and loved it. I know you will totally enjoy the trip and take lots of pictures for all of us to enjoy with you!

They spent months trying to get her a visa to come to the US last year. They are American citizens and had done it many times before. There should be no problem again, because she got her citizenship after getting here. <br /><br />Our pastor had a hard time getting a visa for India for the last missions trip he took, because he was a minister. He said that now that he is retired and not officially a minister any more, it will be easier.khowardquiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05132077024559090520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-87175859853929240112017-08-19T10:35:42.537-04:002017-08-19T10:35:42.537-04:00Enjoy your time together!

Speaking of keys, there is something called a KNOX BOX (https://www.knoxbox.com/) that will enable First Responders access to your property / home. We just put one up on our church building at the recommendation of the fire chief (a church elder). I recommended it to a senior citizen neighbor as well who has health issues. The premise is, only the 1st responders (Fire Chief, ) can open the box. Inside is your gate/house/garage key. Keeps them from knocking down your door with an ax, or ramming through your gate when there is a true emergency. There is a great video on the website to explain more about the Knox Box system.

If you covered that, the only other thing I can think of is that there may have been too much "open space" around you -- too much background and not enough you.
