Thank you Marilyn....With the help of Carol (Cedarhope) and Kathy
Godino that old Banchory look may not be all that out of reach Carol
has a Deep Purple grandson that if all works well I may be able to

see way to many lines that are losing the total sheltie look there
are still a few like you who still have it but newer ones don't seem
to care.
