Wink Goodbye for now

I pray the mods will forgive me if this is a little early.....
I am sad to say that this will be my last thread for awhile....I have been struggling with double vision for a month or so and it's getting worse each day....today I found out my eyes and glasses are perfect...and that it is a neurological problem. I am barely able to make out your beautiful photos and comment on your photos or read your comments on my threads, so for now I will have to say good bye to DPS. Hopefully it will be sorted out soon and I will be able to rejoin you. I will, if I am able, visit from time to time, but for now let me leave you with four more from South Africa.

I'll miss your lovely photos and even more lovely comments Leona. Sorry to hear of your troubles, and I hope your doctors can help you out quickly and get you back to normal soon. Thanks for signing out temporarily though with another beautiful collection from South Africa. Hope to see you back here soon.

Leona, my prayers are with you for a speedy recovery. I know your departure from DPS is only temporary. I always appreciate your kind comments on mine as well as everyone's photos. Hope you get well real soon as we all enjoy the photographs that you share.

Mike
