About I'm bowing out until January as there are so many other things demanding attention at this time of year. I will catch up on as many friends as possible during the next couple of days but no more posts until next year.

A big THANK-YOU to all of you who have supported me with comments and friendship throughout 2006; it is greatly appreciated.

A very special wish to a small group of my friends whose health slipped away for a while and needed hospitals and operations to bring them back on course to us.....may they continue to grow stronger in their recoveries and regain total good health.

Whatever your individualistic beliefs are and wherever you may live I send you all greetings in this significant month of the year. We all had high hopes when this year commenced, let us hope that 2007 will bring a vast improvement for the millions who yet again endured an awful year.

May your God smile upon you and this whole World.

A very very HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all. Be happy be lucky...........Ray

Hi there Roby, how is my good friend? I am well but I am very busy these days seeing to the affairs of my dear brother Ian who is very sick. I have put my pleasures on hold just now and utilise my spare time for him. Today I had some time to spare so I came into work and posted a shot and I am now doing some 'visits' to my UF friends as I am not on the internet at home just now..........Take care of you and your family my dear Roby. My very best wishes to you all as always.......Ray

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Ray!! To you and yours and the ones you hold dear! Aren't you PUN - ee with these shots? Great shot of the Bow (of your yacht?) :P

Great 'about' Ray . . . allow me, my friend, to add a strong wish for "Peace on Earth' and 'Good Will to Man'!

Each year I have higher hopes than for the proceeding year . . . and each year I find myself happy that the good of the current year has found my family and I safe and together . . . in spirit, if not in fact. I tend to dwell in the good . . . and hope forr the better . . . be well . . . and my best to y'all!! :)

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Hi Ray,
A typical witty exit from you Ray with this powerful shot.
Too bad you can't find a bit more time to hang around longer. I always enjoy your conversations here on Usefilm.

You and your family have yourself a great Christmas and New Years!! Drop in from time to time if you have a chance :)
If not, I'll see you next year!
Andre
