    Dear Karlynn
    What a beautiful picture of you and your precious family! Which one of you developed the film the to get the “old-fashioned”. effect? It is as if every single feature of your faces, the curls, in Mike’s hair and even Fanta, the cat have been softly accented to look like a card from the late 1940’s. Stunning! Back then many greeting card’s had drawings or photographs that had been accented with a soft accenting of a person’s facial features, etc. They were printed onto a heavy cream colored stock that would perfectly match the color of your cabinets! The photgraphy is stunning. The minute I read Fanta’s name I thought of the Fanta orange drink! ( The actor Andy Griffith, years ago used to refer to it as a “big orange drink”). lol I can handle a rum & coke, I prefer a glass of wine, but after two glasses of wine my nose nose looks pink! lol!I’ve only had two martinis in my 81 years of life and to me, (forgive me for the comparision here) they taste like the white colored Vaseline hair tonic used tosmell. lol. While typing this off to the side, out of the corner of my eye, you were mixing your brownie recipe. You made an error in that one, at the end of the video. I cracked up laughing because you had written “drool” at the very end, The “drool” should have followed the stack of them with the ice cream on top at the beginning of the video. because I was “droooling” back then! I haven’t been a subscriber for very long but you, your lovely family and your “fantastetic” recipes will be in my recipes collection for a very long time to come!
