I'm begining to get a bit better now and I just wanted to say hi to everyone! Specially Si and Rick! But I miss all the girls too! Guess what!! Latigo proposed to Liz yesterday and she said yes!! Cool, no? Our big airport mural is done and up on the wall at Glacier Park International. I couldn't help much near the end but I got to get into the photograph with all the crew. It took almost two years to complete. Good thing the wall has steel studs! It weighs over 1,000 pounds even with all the carving done on it! Its just gorgeous. I don't know how to post a picture, but I think Dad sent one to Rick. The last surgery may have worked on me, but we'll know for sure by next week. I'm still sorta numb in my face, but I think the swelling is less. I'll be back when I can. Bye guys!

Welcome back Rosemary. Great news on your finding some pain relief from recent surgury. Hope for lasting results for you. Also congratulations to Lat!

Thank you guys! I still can't really talk much cuz I just got the stitches out of the inside of my mouth, (Lat's happy about the "not talking" part) but I'm allowed on the computer for a bit each day now. Del, are you from the SRF?? You must be from that or swissrifles.com if you know about Dad, no?

I was so tickled to see your posting and even more tickled when it was actually you, not Lat the imposter. Glad to hear you may have some relief finally. I wish the best for you. Congrats to Lat & Liz. I got my toes crossed for you girl. I tried crossing my fingers, but it made it even more difficult to type.

It is great to see you posting. We have prayed for you and will continue to do so.
We are happy for Latigo and Liz. Not that they need our blessing but are happy for them none-the-less.
Can't wait to see the pic of the big project!

Rosemary, It brings so many of us great delight to see you show up here and to hear any news of your healing and mending. I do have photo's on my shop computer and can post them for you if that would be OK with pop. Been waiting quite a while for Lat to do what he do, what patience. I think everyone else that I know is far more impetuous. I have difficulty not saying what I think at the time that it's thought. Soon you'll be singing again. It must really bring your parents joy to see such fine kids connecting with such fine partners too. Go girl!

Thank all of you SO much! I've missed being here for sure! Rick, Dad says its fine and I sent you an email with a picture of all of us in front of the carving. He says "Hello to everyone", and he'll be returning as soon as my Mom is doing better.

Thanks, Rick! That carving is 5'high, 18'long and 6"thick. Every hair and feather are there. Dad and lat did the great majority of all the carving. I was helping till I got in medical trouble, but I did get to paint with Liz and Monique. The border is covered with gold paint applied with sponges. Cool, no?
You have brightened up this whole board and our hearts by coming back here and to see your miraculous improvement. We need you here too, please stick around! Gee, a few of my friends have written and inquired where I have been, but just a bit busy these days with Arthur in track after football, just enjoying my family and all. That's why I haven't written for a couple months, but still thinking of you and everyone. You have made my day!!! (and everyone else's!) Congrats to Latigo, the very, very best of wishes also to your Mom and Dad. lots of love, Deb Fowler

You guys are all SO nice! I've really missed being here and reading the board. I have lots of pictures of the carving while it was being done. I'll see if I can get Dad to give me some for posting in the portfolio section, no?

I have become very familiar with its intracacies when applied over vinyl, One-Shot and latex paints. With warmest regards to you, your dad and entire family !!!!!

Hi Rosemarie, welcome back ! I 'll pray that you continue to improve ! Anyone that knows as much about ammo and signs as you is indepensable. I must have missed what your final prognosis was as I don't read the board too much these days but I'm glad they got a handle on it. I remember you said monitors cause you problems, I suppose you thought of using a flat panel ? I am happy with mine, less strain on the peepers.

Thanks, Jim and Amy! ... and Tony, the reason I have so many responses is cuz they ARE friends! Letterville has squabbles sometimes, and even "I" have been in the middle of them, but like a normal family, we always come to support our own. Glad to meet you!!
