For both llywela13 and rosie55, I hope your special days were filled with joy and love!!!

Because we're dealing with federal governmental bureaucracies, that's why.

This is for cat63, a picture of a male American Goldfinch almost completely in his Summer yellow.  They all turn to a greyish colour for Winter.  Picture taken through a non-droolish window.

We're watching Chamber of Secrets and Mr. Mav just said that someone should salt and burn Moaning Myrtles bones.
LOL!!!

Happy Birthday to sunray45!!  I hope it's a grand one! (Or was, I'm not good at figuring out time zones)

Dear java_fiend,
I hope you have a day filled with joy and love!

First things first, Mr. Mav and I are fine. He is still recoveing from his big operation in May and the doctor has informed us that yes, he is indeed medically retired now, but not officially.  The doctor won't make that official until at least six months to a year after the surgery, so we have a wait still until we can 'retire' and move, so I'm going to enjoy my last true autumn and winter.

Now for the shamless plugging.  Our cousin (her Mum and Mr. Mav are first cousins), Kate Turner (as seen in my last two 100_Snapshots posts) is embarking on her singing career.  Last night her debut video was released on you tube and I (in my completely unbiased opinion) think it is fabulous.

Check it out, please!  Thanks!

I'll be trying to stay more current with my LJing, but it's been a bit lax lately due to my whole life being in limbo.  That isn't a complaint, I have nothing to complain about knowing that others have true and serious issues I would be a twonk complaining about  a bit of a delay.

Hope you are all well!!!!

I will be doing a catch up post later this week...but...

After 31 years in the league my Dallas Mavericks are, for the first time ever, the league CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!


I am overcome, crying and dancing have ensued!!!!!!!!!
