Marieg:
I didn't think your pictures were sad at all. When I looked at the close up one of your granddaughter and yourself I thought "with that natural strawberry blonde hair and the peaches and cream complextion I wonder if she's Scandanavian?" I looked to see what part of the world you are from but it doesn't say in your name/avatar area. Maybe the pictures you sent seem SAD to you because they were taken at a sad time in your loss when you were grieving the loss of a family member. They don't come across as sad to me and you chose pictures to share with us that you love and what better pictures to share. Thank you.
