Are we sure???  He said that before and did not.  He does outstanding scenery work.  Great photos too.  Suppose to be featured in CTT soon.  Hope he is joking.  Maybe he is "remodeling" it.

AFRay sent me links to it's destruction and the reason. Sad. Prayers for Frank's wife. Angel

 



So sad to see this. When I started on the forum back in 2005 his layout was one of a few that served as inspiration to get started on my own layout. Really enjoyed 'watching' his layout grow and come to life.

Angel for your wife Frank if you are reading this.

 As for you other guys,,, nice stuff. Yes

Rummor has it that Frank53 has torn down his layout and has put everything up for sale and the rummor added "again"

Blown Out  Cylinder  -- thanks for your help.  I'll keep yours and RT's advice handy for the future.

By the way..I think you may need to use your main album page for that...there should be on the upper right corner of the image an icon that looks like a gear...click that and a dialog box with the [IMG] tag should appear..click that and it should come easier...don't click the [thumbnail IMG] one though..it really is a thumbnail....Huh?

Excellent -- I honestly don't know what's going on but I am glad it's working for you Yes  For the last two week's Sharyl and I have been on a fantastic road trip out west & north.  One of the real highlights was stopping at the Golden Spike Tower in North Platte, NE.  It is the location of the Bailey Yards, the UP gateway to the east and west, awesome is the only word I can use to describe it.  Hopefully I can get those pics uploaded and share those with you next week.

RT -- thanks.  I've tried a couple of things and still no luck, it's been a long while since I've tried to post pics plus photobucket changed some of their platforms.  It used to be easy Crying
