Hey Kate -- Did you manage to post that pic all by yourself?????? What is the secret. PLEASE TELL.

Adorable Tipsy. Thanks so much for sharing. Still can't see the BARBQ pic...

I WANT ONE OF THOSE LICENSE PLATES!!! Where does one purchase one? So very cool.

My granddaughter gave me the prettiest bc bracelet. So sweet. I wear it all the time now and I think of her and LOVE and feel all peaceful and happy... such a thoughtful gift for an 11 yr old (as of yesterday).

Hope y'all had a HAPPY THANKSGIVING (which is also Josie's Bday)... It was an especially happy holiday this year for us. So much to be thankful for.

Guess this was TipToe's first Thanksgiving. Did she pig out? Can hamsters eat pumpkin? Is it a fruit or veg? Googled it. It's a fruit. Not so good for Tip. Too much sugar.

Did you know a cucumber is a FRUIT? Me neither. But that's what I just read. Does the Internet lie?
