Awwwww....that's my Tiger!!
Also, pertaining to adorable photos of animals, I came across a really neat blog: Farm Girl Susan. Susan moved from her native California to Missouri, to live out "in the middle of nowhere"! She also loves to cook and bake and shares tons of recipes. AND, on top of all that,,,,,she also loves Judith Ryan Hendricks' books! Hey, I think I've discovered another kindred spirit!! Go visit Susan's blog and tell her "Becky sent me!"
Speaking of farms and farm-life, I spent most of today getting poked and prodded. I saw 2 different doctors; one a yearly check-up, one a follow-up. Then got lab work and x-rays. Sheesh...I'm worn out and I didn't do anything except drive my car, and sit around for hours. I took a book to read, but that even made me sleepy! I think I feel a late afternoon nap coming on......Zzzzzzz.
One last thing: Has anyone heard back from Bylines Calendar about their submissions? I keep checking the website, but nothing is posted about it yet. Any other good news about acceptances, or contest winnings??

My mailbox is empty. On the other hand, you do need to submit things in order to be either accepted or rejected!

Tiger has a sweet face, and she makes me miss having a dog. But like I told a clerk today, DH barks at me enough! ha, ha. We too did his labs today and will return next week for doctor visit.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you asked about Bylines Calendar because I too was wondering. My checking showed nothing. My Haiku checked showed me as a loser. So maybe I shouldn't check if I don't want bad news...ha, ha, again.
Hi Becky,
ReplyDeleteCute stamps and photos.
No contest wins or pub news here, except for some new deadlines for some assignments for reviews and interviews. Cha-ching!
Hope all your tests go well.
Take care,
Donna

Tiger is a real cutie. Years ago we had a dog we called Tiger. He was the runt of the litter, but he was a little scrapper, he thought he was a Tiger, therefore the reason I named him Tiger.
ReplyDeleteThe stamps are so cute, esp. for us dog and cat lovers.
I hope all your tests come back showing you healthy. I too, always carry a book with me almost everywhere I go, And esp. to the doctors offices.
Thanks for posting about the stamps, and that picture of Tiger is definitely Hallmark-worthy! I'm another one who was wondering about Bylines! Haven't heard a thing. I know Sylvia has had some issues with her mother's health. Wouldn't hurt to keep her/them in your prayers.
ReplyDeleteTiger is absolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteSometimes those days when we don't think we're doing much are the most tiring. Hope you got some rest this afternoon. :)
I can't wait to get some of those stamps! I'm with K9friend - can't get anything in the ole mailbox if you don't send anything out. And what is Bylines Calendar anyway?
ReplyDeleteTiger should be on one of the stamps.
ReplyDeleteTiger is a lucky dog!
ReplyDeleteI can't say on Bylines because I missed the deadline on that one. :(
Sorry you spent all day at the doc. Tomorrow will be better just in general. :)
Hi K9Pat! Hey, yeah, I guess you better start sending some stuff out!
ReplyDeleteHi Claudia! You're funny! I laughed at your "DH barks" remarks!!
ReplyDeleteHi Donna! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ann! That's cute that you also had a "Tiger"!
ReplyDeleteI'll be writing about my health tests on my blog soon.
Hey Tammy! Thanks for the compliments for Tiger's picture being "Hallmark-worthy"
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about Sylvia's mother. I'm sure that has a lot to do with the delay.
Hi Janel. Thanks! I kind of think Tiger is adorable, too! :)
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't get a nap yesterday, but I "crashed" really early, which was good, since thunderstorms AND Tiger woke me up numerous times!
Hi Lynn! Thanks! And, you already know that I answered your question by e-mail, earlier today! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! Awwww, thanks! I didn't even know they were looking for pets! I would've entered her pic!
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa! Thanks! Yes, today was a better day!!
ReplyDeleteThe stamps are cute, but Tiger is adorable. Dogs and cats are such wonderful friends in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteTiger is so sweet looking -I wish I could have a pet - allergies.
ReplyDeleteSo are you okay - your doctor vist?
And yes, pets are glad to see you no matter what! lol

Awww, such a cutie Tiger is :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to have a dog (the 3 cats and 1 bunny aren't enough :P)
Hope all the tests will be okay, I also hate it when I have to get check-ups...
Love your dog! We got ours from a shelter years and years ago and she was the best:) Hope you hear good news about your submission! I hate the wait. AM waiting to hear about Genesis but not holding my breath. It will be fun to see who finals though:) i'm back but slowly coming alive from my trip.
ReplyDeleteHey Daisy! Thanks, I agree! Gotta have 'em in my life!
ReplyDeleteHi Chatty! Thanks! I'll write about my doctor visits a little later on. Thanks for asking, though!
ReplyDeleteHi Estrella! Thank you so much! Yes, I agree...you need to add a dog to your wonderful furry-friends-family! Thanks for mentioning the doctor visits, too. Will write about those soon.
ReplyDeleteHi Terri! Thanks so much and good luck on your Genesis! I know what you mean about "coming alive" after a trip! It usually takes me at least a week! :)
