WOW...Susan what a magnificent picture, a delightful Christmas view!!! Merry Christmas to you and yours, you are in my prayers everyday my dear, god bless you!

Susan, your photo is beautiful. It reminds me of the old fashioned Christmas of long ago when the lights were simple but elegant. I'm so sorry to hear of your painful procedure; I'll continue to keep you in my prayers. Merry Christmas to you and your husband and may 2011 treat you more kindly.

A very beautiful place and image! Merry christmas!!

this is the best lighting capture I have seen this season.very well done

I totally am so sorry u had to go through so much my brother had one bone scan almost yearly until he could take more more and refused after that well now you know where he is 'gone' don't give in or up:: (I know easy to say) but refuse awake shit no no -- have them put you to sleep for everything they can! thats stupid of them shoot anyway susan this is the most beautiful photo I've seen yet wow and your size is so much better it shows up great on the screen ttfn and try to feel better...☺

That's why I don't like going to doctors. Yikes! That must have been a nightmare to go through. : My best wishes go with you! {{Hugs}} Merry Christmas Susan!

Hi Susan, thank you for sharing this delightful visual treat with us. It is indeed a cute and sweet homey setting with a wonderful friendly feel to it ... lovely lights of course to add some festive cheer as well :) Thank you also for sharing with us your recent trauma and ongoing battle with the cancer. My mother in law was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer with an expectancy of six months, so I am a little better prepared to understand a bit what you are dealing with. I shall be praying for you and your family. I do hope you shall have a truly lovely Christmas.

Sis this is beautiful hon!! I am so sorry to hear about what you had to endure! I have a sister that had to have a bone marrow biopsy years ago and she told me it was awful!!! Know your in my thoughts and continued prayers! Merry Christmas Sweetie!!!

Susan It is with great emotion that I read your account of your last biopsy. Whether you have endured so much suffering for the levy beyond comprehension! This doctor likes you or loves you not, is not the primary mission of the physician. It is to be attentive to your problems, and undertake analysis with the minimum of respect for the human person under his charge. My age, although I think sometimes young (thank heaven!) Allows me to see in France for example a deterioration of our society, in terms of culture and humanism. Thank you especially for having the heart to send us a message if lon, illustrated with a beautiful view of your village. We no longer see our only daughter for several years, nor our girls; These are the vagaries of life. So tomorrow I'm going with a friend of 91 years, whose daughter is his Christmas dinner at her home while her mother is now almost intransportable. Ausii we decided my wife and myself to make our Christmas dinner with this person ... I carry it in the menu, so Christmas is an event unique friendship. There. Also the friendship is important ... even virtual disappearance of Valérie_Ducom beaucioup still affects me, two and a half years. Artists are more sensitive than others, more vulnerable, and thus, a site like Renderosity, next to some faults, is a wonderful meeting place ... like your photo. That has to count for us. I kiss you hard for all the lovely things you wrote, and hopefully much longer admire your talent. Claude Susan, C'est avec beaucoup d'émotions que je lis votre compte-rendu de votre dernière biopsie. Que vous ayez enduré tant de souffrance pour ce prélévement dépasse l'entendement ! Que ce docteur vous aime ou ne vous aime pas, n'est pas la mission première du médecin. C'est d'être attentif à vos problèmes, et de procéder à des analyses avec le minimum de respect de la personne humaine dont il a la charge. Mon âge, même si je paraît jeune parfois (grâce au ciel !) me permet de constater en France par exemple une dégradation de notre société, sur le plan culture et humanisme. Je vous remercie surtout d'avoir le coeur de nous écrire un si lon message, illustré d'une magnifique vue de votre village. Nous ne voyons plus notre fille unique depuis plusieurs années, ni nos petites filles; Ce sont les aléas de la vie. Aussi demain vais-je chez une amie de 91 ans, dont la fille fait son repas de Noêl chez elle, alors que sa mère est actuellement quasi intransportable. Ausii avons-nous décidé mon épouse et moi-même de réaliser notre repas de Noêl chez cette personne...j' transporterai le menu chez elle, pour que Noêl soit un événement exceptionnel d'amitié. Voilà. Aussi l'amitié même virtuelle est importante...la disparition de Valérie_Ducom me touche encore beaucioup, deux ans et demi après. Les artistes sont plus sensibles que les autres, plus vulnérables, et de ce fait, une site comme Renderosity, à côté de certains défauts, est une merveilleuse place de rencontre...comme votre photo. C'est cela qui doit compter pour nous. Je vous embrasse très fort pour toutes les jolies choses que vous avez écrite, et j'espère pouvoir encore longtemps admirer votre talent. Claude

Very beautiful photo, Susan. You are in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery from this procedure It is my understanding that the Doctor's primary goal is 'Do no harm!' This should be pointed out to this doctor the next time you meet him.

Your town is so lovely Susan, and this image made my night. Sorry for the pain you had to go through recently, and your in my prayers that God will heal you and watch over you and your family. Hope you have a Merry Christmas

Hon, I know what you've been through. I haven't done it but my ex-husband has and I was with him. It is a difficult thing to do. I admire you for your courage and I am standing beside you - ready to do what I can to help. Just say the word. I am waiting along side you for the results which I am sure will be better than you might think. I like your town. I too come from a small town - only in the south. I love the tight community feeling you have captured and the spirit of Christmas.

what a sweet little town square... the lights are so pretty. I'm so sorry you have to go through so much pain. you are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you have a nice Christmas.

am so sorry for your lost

That area looks familiar to me.. sure makes a lovely card, you did a great job photographing this.. I wish you and all of your family a wonderful Christmas season. Have a very Merry Christmas ~

A very nice image, thank you for sharing, Susan! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Reminds me of an area in Arlington whe we visited America, Susan. I found it attractive to look at in the daylight and you really caught the attractiveness here. So sorry you have had to endure so much pain. Stay warm! Steve ;o)

What a beautiful place, you captured it beautifully! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Pain sucks!and sometimes Doctors too.Beautiful little town..Have a merry christmas..Hugs and prayers..

Beautiful work. Merry Christmas to you!

It is such a quaint and lovely town photo. I'm so sorry you had so much pain to deal with. I had a bone marrow test when I was only 17, after my mom died of cancer they made me and my brother have it done, and it was awful. I cried the whole time and was so sore. I never never went back again, and that was a lot of years ago. I hope you are well enough to enjoy Christmas with your family. CC

That sounds like a horrendous procedure. I'm sorry you have to go through so much suffering. Despite it, I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and coming year in spite of the many difficulties you will undoubtably have to face. You are an encouragement to all the rest of us. Jeremy

Looks really magical dear Sis! I'm so sorry that you have to go through so much pain these last months.... You are always in my thoughts, especially during these days and I hope that you can have at least very precious Holidays..... Lot's of love from your sis Ute

A beautiful card Susan and my hopes and prayers are with you for better health and happiness very soon. Jeff.

oh susan forgive me but i cant carry on reading,awfulk the pain must have been, i will jump a few lines lol,let me see, the square looks very neat and romantic, and a doctor should not have likes or unlikes he has to do his job,period,asshole in the white coat, ps at least you see some of your tax dollars in the building hehehe,most of the time we dont see shit all where the pipleline goes hehehe, all the best sister.
