Thanks! I’ll be over in a little while to see. Linky-love is ALWAYS appreciated ;--)<BR/><BR/><B>Carletta</B> – Yup, Federer has certainly been at the top of the men’s game for the past 4 years or so (until THIS year). As for Serena (and Venus too) … In 2001, it sure looked as if they’d DOMINATE the women’s game, but a series of injuries kept them from playing much after 2003 … so it’s really only been in the past year that they’ve made a huge comeback. I just hope they’ll STAY healthy enough to play regularly for the next few years. The big upset at THIS year’s US Open was Andy Murray defeating Rafa Nadal in the semis ;--)<BR/><BR/><B>Jo Beaufoix</B> – You’re quite welcome … and I’m SURE you’re deserving of this award. I hope you have fun passing it along to others too.<BR/><BR/><B>Mary, the teach</B> – Thanks! These photos DID seem PERFECT for this week’s post.<BR/><BR/><B>Dianne</B> – Yez … watching her jump up and down like a little kid showed us all how much getting back to the top of the heap MATTERS to her right now doesn’t it? She and her sister are BOTH magnificent, and I hope we see many more matches between them … and between Federer and Nadal too.<BR/><BR/><B>To all</B> – Thanks for dropping by Small Reflections Tuesday and sharing your thoughts on my Ruby Tuesday post. I’m sorry I didn’t get an opportunity to do any blog visiting yesterday, but I’m planning on getting out there in the Blogosphere as soon as I finish responding to comments and post something here for today. I did share sample of what we’re learning in PSE6 about <A HREF="http://sacredruminations.blogspot.com/2008/09/almost-ww-47-filter-experimentations.html" REL="nofollow">‘adjustment layers’ and ‘filters’</A> at <B>Sacred Ruminations</B> this morning . It’s amazing what dramatic effects can be achieved. I hope you’re all having a delightful day.<BR/>Hugs and blessings,<BR/></I>storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-46151364487878202052008-09-09T17:10:00.000-07:002008-09-09T17:10:00.000-07:00Serena was so excited it was infectious!She's magn...Serena was so excited it was infectious!<BR/><BR/>She's magnificent<BR/><BR/>Congrats on your awardDiannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02946500110072411468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-60195009558563056212008-09-09T14:35:00.000-07:002008-09-09T14:35:00.000-07:00Yea!

It’s wonderful to see them healthy and playing at the top of their game again at last.<BR/><BR/><B>Sayre</B> – You’re most welcome. I’m delighted the award lifted you in this way … and I hope things continue to improve for you and yours.<BR/><BR/><B>Mike</B> – Thanks! I’m not sure I’d consider myself ‘brainy’ … but I do LOVE awards and validation ;--)<BR/><BR/><B>Ellen B</B> – Happy Ruby Tuesday to YOU as well! I’m thrilled for the success of both Serena and Roger.<BR/>Paz – Thanks ;--)<BR/><BR/><B>ShutterHappyJenn</B> – With Serena at #1, she won’t be such a ‘dangerous floater’ in future ‘draws’ … and hopefully she & Venus will get to play in the FINALS of the next tournament rather than the Quarters.<BR/><BR/><B>Faye</B> – You’re most welcome … and what a lovely thing to bounce the award back in this way, allowing me to share again perhaps with more deserving bloggers. I feel much the same way about blogging that you do and find it a marvelous ‘tool’ for connectivity.<BR/><BR/><B>Joyce</B> – Ah … ya can’t believe those online tests. Methinks they base much of the assessment on quantity (as in word counts) and you share lots of images and write lovely poetry … the quality of which is always delightful and often thought-provoking. The parenting wisdom evident on your blog is apparent to all.<BR/><BR/><B>Grandy</B> – Methinks Serena has finally made her fitness and tennis game singular priorities this past year … allowing other interests to fade to the background for now … and it’s made all the difference. It’s made for exciting women’s tennis that should raise everyone’s game.<BR/><BR/><B>Columbo</B> – It was interesting to see Roger, Rafa, and Serena in RED this year. I would have liked to see a final with Roger and Rafa … but I guess we’ll see that in a future year instead.<BR/><BR/><B>Mariposa</B> – Methinks your brother and I must share a love of tennis. The matches this year throughout the tournament were more exciting that in recent years. There are some incredible up-and-coming teenagers with big games out there.<BR/><BR/><B>Judy</B> – I thought so too ;--)<BR/><BR/><B>Sue</B> – You’re welcome. You often make ME smile and think too!<BR/><BR/><B>SassyMamaBear</B> – I couldn’t agree more about the Williams sisters and the excellent role models they are. You’re more than welcome for the award. I love the changes you’ve made out there at ‘the end of the universe’ and am glad to point others your way.<BR/><BR/><B>Robin</B> – Yup … they chose to wear this power color … and their ‘games’ lived up to the image they projected. As for fingers, mine often seem to have a mind of their own too. LOL<BR/><BR/><B>To all again</B> – I appreciate each of you dropping by to share your thoughts. I won’t have time to visit until later this afternoon, but I look forward to seeing what’s up at your blogs too. I wish you all a delightful day!<BR/>Hugs and blessings,<BR/></I>storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-49562842024578428242008-09-09T04:26:00.001-07:002008-09-09T04:26:00.001-07:00Congrats on your award, too.
