I think it is time to repost Billie’s Dust Bunnies.

LOL! Yeah! MY dust bunnies are bigger than YOUR dust bunnies. :)

(I don't remember the MONTH this was posted, let alone the day. :)

[jaycee]

It was so nice seeing your little thank you's all over the place, Billie! We all thank you too, for the loveliness you post for us.

[jaycee]

How adorable. I would make a pet out of that one...LOL! I may have some that big around here since I spend so much time at Amy’s, the dust bunnies REALLY multiply!

[Billie]

I was disappointed to see that Meg didn’t have one yesterday for North Dakota. I think we should all get together and finish the states; even if they are not as extravagant as the others.

:(

Many, many moons ago, before we 'closed' the Finest, we discussed the few states remaining to be profiled, and some of them were spoken for and some were posted - the others have sort of been put on the back burner.

[Billie]

Hey! I can’t decide who’s the sweetest person at Amy’s, but you’re certainly in the running. :)

[Billie]

LOL! He is a pretty cute 'dust bunny' isn't he? :)

I've GOT to go now that I've reached the 'end' of this thread! (though I know we never really reach the 'end' of one - which is good, of course!) I'll be back in the morning! :)

Well, I am kinda, sorta still working on Illinois but haven't made a lot of progress on it. Have been distracted with many other things going on, not the least of which is the election tomorrow and the contentious political “stuff” going on. I am hoping for the best, but fearing the worst. :-(

Thanks, to both of you for your compliments on my graphic today. Now I need to get a chicken casserole ready to go in the oven. I will add Illinois to my “to-do” list and see if I can get it wrapped up in the next week or so.

Hugs all around!

Dustbunnies

The sound that all dustbunnies make,
Depends on the form the bunnies take.
Sawdust bunnies grind and scrape,
While cottons make a quiet escape.

Woolens have a sheepish stare,
And murmurs that disturb the air.
Dustbunnies to evoke your dread,
Are those that lurk beneath your bed.

Insurgent bunnies, trained just so,
On tiptoe and in silence go,
But growing in such numbers that,
A stealth attack could kill a cat!

Poor Kitty! In her master’s room,
Hairballed down to dusty doom.
If you want to survive, then ya gotta get mean!
Bring yer vacuum out! Keep yer filters clean!

sure love that Welcome graphic this morning.

Thank you, jaycee, and thanks for all the pings over the past few weeks that have gone unanswered. I've been AWOL - but I do see all my pings and I appreciate each and every one. :-)

[Mama_Bear]

No matter the outcome - we are grounded in something much more powerful; the knowledge that He is watching over us, in all things.

This is so true, yorkie, and it is this that I fall back on when I start to stress and despair over this election. I remind myself that everything happens for a reason and that God is in His heaven and all is well. :-)

[jaycee]

I understand, Lori, we all have to take time-outs occasionally! That doesn’t mean I don’t miss you but I know you’ll be back when you can. Hope you are having sun-shiney
days!

[Mama_Bear]

Just a quick drive-by "thank you" to everyone who has kept me on their ping list even though I've been scarce around here recently. I do check my pings even when I am unable to respond and I appreciate each one. :-)

[jaycee]

Golly, gee whiz...~~blush~~~

Hey! I can’t decide who’s the sweetest person at Amy’s, but you’re certainly in the running. :)

Glad I'm in the running for something...LOL! You're too kind but I will do my best to live up to it!

[Lady Jag]

Delivery! More Dust bunnies!

[Majie Purple]

You're very !

Great to *see* Ya!

[jaycee]

So cute and I don’t know where you find this good stuff! But you sure find some goodies for us.

[Lady Jag]

It’s a looong story. I began making many gigs of graphics long before home computers.
