Not a problem!! The pics are of our Nashville flood earlier this year. Lots and lots of fun ... NOT!!
If you want to respond to Annette, you can go to your "inbox" and look for "compose". When you see that, click on it. That will bring up a new window. The first box is "send to". It should have a list of all of your friends ... my guess is Annette will be one of the first. Click on box next to her name and then proceed as you would in a normal e-mail.
Let me know if I can help further ... we are all in this together!! :)
