I think you should load that picture to your photos. I really like it, and what it represents too. Did you know we have a Program here called "Diabetes Supplies Art" ? click on "Our Programs" to look at it. there are lots of other members here 'recycling' their diabetes supplies.

we spent a couple of weeks in the Lakes area of Maine this summer, love it there.
