These are the postcards I got from a good friend Anne. She is obviously in Norway. I was so excited when I got her postcards.
Actually, I got the first one first and the second one was a week later. I informed Anne that I got the postcards and she was surprised I didn't get it at the same time since she mailed it together.
This heart-shaped postcard is really something. This is the first time that I have seen a heart-shape postcard. Postcards are usually rectangle in shape.
I have designed an emergency preparedness plan for my family. Natural and manmade disasters can wreak havoc on your life and if you are not ready for them, it can be dangerous. I went throughout the house with a checklist to make sure we were stocked with supplies. My kids thought it was a game so it was a fun activity for them. Hopefully it was also teaching them how they should be ready when and if disaster strikes. I made sure that none of the circuits were overloaded with a lot of devices. I checked the kitchen to make sure there was not any greasy buildup that could lead to a fire. I checked the smoke detectors to make sure the batteries were working. I also made sure that my daughters knew how to call for help in the event of an emergency in case we were unable to. I even went online at ATLANTAHOMEsecurity.comto see if there was anything special I needed to do with our alarm system. We feel that we are ready for anything that may come our way.
These entertaining, sugary-sweet puppies are Yorkshire Terrier mixes, now 3 months of age, spayed/neutered, and ready for adoption.
Cindy, Jan, and Marsha are girls. Bobby and Peter are boys.
Both parents, Carol and Mike, are Yorkshire Terrier mixes, and both have been spayed/neutered and adopted already. Greg, a baby boy, will be ready for adoption in the days to come.
Please carefully puppy-proof your home and yard for their safety and protection.
We went to a party last Saturday. We were able to see some friends whom we haven't seen in months. We had a lot of fun. We had a lot of catching up to do so we stayed there long.
After eating the sumptuous food that were served, we were given a Filipino treat! We had melon ice candy! Everybody was so excited to have one. Too bad not all of I us were able to get one as the number of ice candies made were very limited.

Do you believe that mom knows best? I am a mom, so definitely!
Being a mom myself, I know the feeling of being a mother. I know how a mother misses her children when she can't see them often. I know how my mom have felt having her children miles away from her. If my mother can afford to call me, I am sure she will call me anytime she wants. But because it is impossible for her to call me, I make sure that I call her whenever there is a chance for me to call her.
Having a family who are living internationally, I make sure that my phone has a great coverage and very clear connectivity. I am also glad that I have an International Long Distance feature on my plan that lets me call internationally for a cheap rate.

My favorite among their plans is the Unlimited Monthly Service. This plan have everything you need - from calls to text to web surfing.

You will not get any surprise bills and no hidden fees!
I am a Mom and when I say Straight Talk is a great choice, believe me because you should know that Mom knows best!

Repeating this strategy, the bat can catch up to 30 fishes per night., this bats reaching up to 13 cm in length, while their wings stretch up to 30 cm across.

They are brown with white-yellow and underparts and have specks of orange around their neck. While they are roosting, their fur, which seems to look like a dead plant, camouflages them from predators.

I have been due for a phone upgrade since April but I didn't avail because I was fine with my LG Touch. Then for few days my phone is not charging correctly so last weekend we decided to get the long over due upgrade.
I can get the Droid or the iphone 4 if I wanted to for a minimal fee. But, I am being practical. I don't need a smart phone because I don't need its internet connection as I am always in front of my laptop. It is not practical for me to pay additional monthly bill so I settle for this LG Phone. I just need the basic use of a cellphone. I got this phone for FREE. I still can get my emails on this phone which is the only thing I need.
Now, since I have a new phone, time for the little missy to familiarize herself on how to use the phone. At first she was upset why it is no longer a touch screen phone but after few minutes she already learned how to use it.
The monster's bullet failed to snuff out her unconditional love. But bullet fragments remain in her right front leg and they sometimes cause numbness (no pain though) and weak usage of that leg.
Her spirit is thriving too, and she awes us with her comical, fun-loving nature.
No further surgery is needed and Montana debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. She is a blue & cream Bully mix, spayed girl, 5 months of age, ready to be your angel.
Miss Oreo, and her daughter (Jellybean), and three sons (Gumdrop, Little Nibbles, and Truffles), debut for adoption on Monday (Aug. 22) at Nevada SPCA.
We rescued Miss Oreo, a sweet and beautiful Pygmy goat, from another shelter, and she was in late stage pregnancy.
She had difficulty giving birth and our staff did a beautiful job helping her, as she was so exhausted, especially with the final two, cleaning them up and getting them breathing.
The babies are now 3 months of age, very healthy, and the boys are neutered. Social animals, we are looking for safe, lifelong loving homes for them, ideally adopted in pairs (or as one large group).
Very special thanks to Pet'ographique for these spectacular portraits to help them get adopted into loving, forever homes.
