Christine loves me! Look as the lovelies M and I got in the mail today!
And, of course, how can one resist this one? Our Camus takes after Daddy, no?
*snort*
What poisonous plant are you?
You are FOXGLOVE! Although poisonous if eaten, you are also the source for the heart medication digitalis. Useful and deadly, what a winning combination!

Great fun, as always. Sad to say that the only picture that turned out well (besides the peep pics which may eventually make it to this blog) was this one of Uccellina One that I took of Miss Kendra would have been particularly nice but it focused on the wrong spot and I wasn’t paying attention. The other pics, you ladies will thank me for not posting. I didn’t really catch anyone’s good side tonight. Except, of course, for some of Uccellina which I’ll have to get permission before posting.
 
Delurking day
I’ve been checking stats and it appears I have folks lurking from all over the place. So I decided to post a “Delurking Day” to give all those lovely folks the opportunity to say “Hi” without needing to feel shy about anything, especially bad English. (I certainly use enough to go around.)
If you’ve never posted here before, please do. Say hello. We don’t bite!
So, Konichiwa! Hallo alle meine Deutsche Freunden. (Ja, mein Deutsch ist schlecht. Ich habe alles vergessen. Aber nicht so schlecht als meine Japanisch)
And for my Canadian readers: Hello, eh? Sorry for the rest of you. It’s late and I’ve forgotten much of my languages for the evening.
I thought I’d share with y’all my favorite picture at the moment. This is my darling M and I just after exchanging vows.
Camus
This is my baby Camus the Poo. Handsome, no? It’s so hard to get a good picture of this dog. Yet another reason for me to be thrilled about the new camera. I’ve been able to take lovely pictures of my poodle, finally.
He got his nickname “The Poo” in an odd way. M’s son, M the younger, had a girlfriend that worked at Petco. I asked them to take the poodle in for a wash and trim, asking them to pay special attention to the feet because he doesn’t let me mess with them much. Unbeknownst to us, there are several options when clipping poodle feet. One of the options is, indeed, “poodle feet” which pretty much looks like inverse mittens. Not knowing what to do, they asked for poodle feet which were the cutest damned thing. He looked like Fred Astaire in his dancing shoes; Dapper Dan himself. The true kicker, however, was when the folks at the counter rang up the sale with the extra charge for poodle feet. The receipt read “Poo Feet”.
Early b-day goodies from the SIL
Check out these lovelies! The pin of the three people is made out of recycled pop cans. The thing with the bobbles…the bobbles are silk as are both the cords. Word has it that the claw/tooth looking thing is actually horn.
Recycled Sari Jacket
Here’s the progress on the jacket. I think the edge is too hefty around the front so I’m considering folding it inward and putting toggle buttons on the front. Sleeves, collar, buttons and it’s done!
