I believe the Mark Sherman calendar is a quality production. Pretty nice "photo" calendars are available for like $4.99 in the grocery store. I guess I like both. Haven't seen this year's HL version. As I now do the majority of the "writing" on a desk calendar I could just use the old one and start over as I don't look at the dates! As to saving the pictures to frame, I have a bunch I've been saving for years! And a lighthouse corner? Corner/smorner, do the whole place!
