Blog Help

Christmas Stockings I made


Good morning friends.

I need help with something.

I have noticed that on other people's blogs, and now on my own,
when i click to see some photos larger, a box comes up to open file in photosmart.
when i click on it, another box comes up that says "invalid menu handle".
So, there is no opening of the file unless you save it then open it.

I have not done anything on my blog to change how it has always been,
and i find it disappointing on others blogs,
and now frustrating that it is doing it on mine also.

It does not do it on all pics, just some.
(I have put this pic on my post so you can click on it and see what i mean)

Anyone know what is going on, or more precisely, how to fix it??

thanks and blessings

added to post:

more info:

I put almost all my photos in HP photosmart.
How about you?

Any ideas on where to even begin to look?
Thought Rose, from Victorian Rose might be on to something
with the 'file extension' thing. (but not sure what that is) =0))

Let's keep working on this
thanks all

It's a Pink Saturday Christmas!

This pink Saturday we are supposed
to post about our 'pink' Christmas memories.

I guess I do not have a lot of memories about Christmas.....

But the one I do remember,
Is the year I peeked under the bed to see what the presents were.

Now you have to know, I was a shy, quiet, little girl,
who hardly ever got into trouble.
Well, it seems like I got a lot of spankings,
but it was not because i was bad.
I just got spankings.

OK, on with the story.





This is not the sack.
I'm sure the sack was very plain.
Nothing fancy, just a plain old sack.

But since today is Pink Christmas Saturday,
we'll pretend it was a pretty pink sack like this.


And I really do not remember if the sack was under the bed,
or hidden in the closet.

I do remember clearly what was in the sack.

A skirt.
Maybe one I had seen and wanted.
I do not remember about that.

But I liked the skirt, and if I could draw
on the computer, I could draw it for you.
I remember it well in my minds eye.
Or at least I think I do.



What I do remember, and I have no doubt about this,
is the guilt I felt.

I had peeked.
I had ruined the surprise.
I had done what good little girls are not supposed to do.
I had looked at my Christmas present.

What if they found out?

What if they could just look at me and know?
Would I still get it?

Well, you know I did.

And I remember is how hard it was
to act surprised when I opened my package.

I never looked again after that year.

That is my Christmas memory.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now, here are just some general pinks for your viewing pleasure.

Go ahead, you can peek!!

Now get on over and see the other pink Christmas posts!!

Pink Saturday

Thanks for hosting Beverly.

Blessings and Happy Pink Christmas Saturday to all.
