Appreciation thread for CaliforniaPeggy.

There is a thread in General Discussion today saying that Peggy took a nasty fall in her garage and went to the ER, but she is OK. I texted her but haven't heard back yet. I'll let you know if I do.

Let's start this appreciation thread in her beloved photography group so she sees it when she comes back.

I had missed that. I know she has been talking to EllenG. I didn't want to call her myself because I know she is probably exhausted.

I am going to insist that she and her camera get back here forthwith.

She has remarkable talent; it tickles me that she is so humble about it.

Dear Grumpy Old Guy,

This is a such a heartfelt tribute you offer us! Peggy is an icon of DU, as are you. It's the loving and caring members of this site that bring us refuge in dark times. Peggy takes us with her to the farmers market and shares her enjoyment with us through her photographs and you so generously share a world with us that most of us long to see. The Photography Group certainly would never be the same without either of you!

So, here's to Peggy and You for all the enjoyment and smiles you both bring into our lives and to all the Photography Group who make our lives better and picture perfect in kindness and fellowship! Cheers!

May You All Be Healthy, Safe and Happy, and LOVED!

I am hugely touched by this wonderful outpouring of love and respect!

I wish I had time to respond to each and every one of you, but I don't. This mass message will have to do.

DU is home.
And the Photo Group is so very important as well as special to me, and to all of us. We can fuss about things we don't like, but when the chips are down? We come together, to laugh, to cry, to show empathy to the group.

As long as there is breath in my body, and I can hold my camera for the photos I want to share, I will be here.

Thank you so much, my dear Grumpy, for this beautiful thread. You have a special place in my heart.
