I am shocked, amazed and elated! I just received notification that I have 500 (and a few more) followers. I know that compared to some blogs I read, this is just a drop in the bucket, but for me it’s a milestone that means lots. All I can say is thank you — thank YOU! My blogging began as a way to fill my time after losing my job and deciding it was time for an early retirement. Never in my wildest dreams did I think anyone would really find what I had to share that interesting. Let alone over 500 people!
So many of you have become such friends here. We have chatted and shared. You are all so wonderful, so friendly. You are what keeps me going with this blogging. At first it was just a way for me to write and record. Then people began liking and following. I’m still amazed!
I just want to say again how much I appreciate all of you. I look forward to your visits and comments. And I love reading and following your blogs. I am in awe at the talent that I see. I have learned so much reading your blogs. I have laughed and cried with your posts. You have all touched my heart and my life in some way. This is a real community!

I’m going two for one this time!
1. Michelle’s Weekly Pet Challenge, Week #49
2. Wordless Wednesday
In 2002 I offered to help a vet tech friend who was inundated by abandoned animals by bottle-feeding three kittens. I had never in my entire life had cats (always dogs) and I had barely even been around them. Three weeks of bottle-feeding these kittens and it was all over. There was no way I could part with them. So here we have the three siblings, George, Midge and Zuzu. They did so love my computer desk making it nearly impossible to accomplish anything! And, since the keyboard itself was actually inaccessible, they took over the desk and mouse pad. And when they tired of that, they moved to the chair so I still couldn’t get anything done! 😀
Today, Midge is the only one of the original three surviving.
George is already on the chair, Midge is in front of Zuzu.
Here we have Midge in front, Zuzu behind her and George in the back.

It’s Macro Monday at Lens and Pens by Sally. I have seen and been around grasshoppers my whole life but I have to say that until I moved to Florida I never saw them this big (and creepy). Taken with my iPhone5. Some adjustments were made in Snapseed to the first one and Fotor was used for the black and white.
