I imagine anyone at DU could write that sentence.
Plus, she's taught me much about photography.

(157,262 posts)But thank you is not really adequate.
I am honored by everyone's comments! There have been enough times in my life when I was alone and shy. I know how that can affect a person. But with age, if you're lucky, you learn wisdom. I have some of that and that wisdom has allowed me to have empathy. And that changes everything.
As long as I live, DU is home. I love it here. All the experiences have made me who I am today. You have all helped me grow in so many ways!
My heart is full! Again, Thank You All.
True Dough
(27,674 posts)because you are truly loved and appreciated here, CaliforniaPeggy. Your heart is going to have to make room for even more adulation!

(60,832 posts)California Peggy and her husband came to visit my wife and me in Düsseldorf. We went out to eat with a friend of ours who was Moscow station chief for West German radio news. It is a famous restaurant in the former house of a German diplomat stationed in Morocco a century ago. He remodeled it into an Arabian nobleman's residence in the heart of Düsseldorf, and the food served there is quite in line with the décor. A memorable evening for everyone!
