This month, I went outside and got my husband to open it for me. I hope nothing ever changes, you are a dear friend and I hope that never changes either. My best to you, Merna #9045767Merna L.

Hi Bobby and Karen: I JUST LOVE THIS LIFE! First, we get to take photos, then we work on them, and then we cross our fingers and hope to have that important email around the middle of the month. AND THEN, all these wonderful friends come out of the woodwork to congratulate you. Well, I have had a great ride this month, now I am looking forward to the next time whenever that will be. Thank you both so much. Merna #9045806Kim Andelkovic November 18, 2010

Hi Merna, I apologise for my ignorance, but is this a real person?Merna L. Nobile May 06, 2011
No, it is not a real person, but it had the appearace of being carved out of wood. But I know that it was some kind of mold. thanks for asking, Merna #9392316Mike F. Anderson December 10, 2011
A great exposure and presentation on this one Merna! #9858329Merna L. Nobile December 12, 2011
