Thank you for bringing us such good news, Kitty.

Thank you, Father, for bringing both pets home safely.

Hey, good morning, Aqua & MB - and Luvbo again!

Aqua, he won American Idol Season 5 (2006), and he just mesmerizes me - when he auditioned, it was like.....OMG WHOA! Who is this guy?!

Right now - this summer - he's on Broadway, doing Grease (as Teen Angel) as their big 'draw', and I understand he's doing just that! Someone who knows what a fan of his I am sent this review from the New York Post(check out the pic) :)

HICKS IGNITES 'GREASE' DESPITE PANS, REVIVAL GETS BOOST FROM 'IDOL'

..."Grease" - which vaulted right over the critics to box office glory. It's playing to sold-out houses and is grossing nearly $800,000 a week.

It got a little lift from the Tonys, but its real draw this summer is "American Idol" winner Taylor Hicks, who's playing Teen Angel.

An insider says Hicks is worth at least $150,000 in extra ticket sales a week.

Whenever Hicks whips out his harmonica, the audience goes nuts.

They're having such a blast that the "Grease" megamix at the end of the show - this is where the critics ran screaming from the theater - now runs 10 minutes, with Hicks singing the title song and then playing it on his harmonica.

Sorry - I get carried away - LOL!

Kitty Mittens!! I am ELATED to hear this news. I said another prayer for Daisy and her owners early this morning. I am not surprised. God is so Good. Praise HIM!!!

It’s a very good day in Kitty Mittens’s neighborhood:):)

That is the most beautiful orange and orange blossom picture I have ever seen!! Orange blossoms are the most heavenly fragrance, well known to attract love.

How precious, MEG, that you have watched this family develop and grow. Fox babies are so cute!! I would never have imagined that foxes like peanuts...haha.

Kitty, I missed your post about Daisy yesterday, but am so happy for the happy ending. We love our animals so much it’s just heartbreaking wondering where they are, if they’re hurt or scared, and just praying they’re still alive and home any minute.

[La Enchiladita]

Ooh, he sounds nice!!

[Cardhu]

Thanks Mama-Bear I am glad you like them.

ORANGE BLOSSOM SPECIAL
Writer Ervin T. Rouse

Look a-yonder comin'
Comin' down that railroad track
Hey, look a-yonder comin'
Comin' down that railroad track
It's the Orange Blossom Special
Bringin' my baby back

Well, I'm going down to Florida
And get some sand in my shoes
Or maybe Californy
And get some sand in my shoes
I'll ride that Orange Blossom Special
And lose these New York blues

"Say man, when you going back to Florida?"
"When am I goin' back to Florida? I don't know, don't reckon I ever will."
"Ain't you worried about getting your nourishment in New York?"
"Well, I don't care if I do-die-do-die-do-die-do-die."

Hey talk about a-ramblin'
She's the fastest train on the line
Talk about a-travellin'
She's the fastest train on the line
It's that Orange Blossom Special
Rollin' down the seaboard

He is, dita. :) Couple of years ago, on the Finest, I posted a YouTube “tribute to the troops” that some young boy made. He used pictures of our troops, set to Taylor Hicks song “Do I Make You Proud” - his American Idol “coronation song” that people always say ‘sucks’, but I’m sappy enough to like a lot of those songs. LOL

[Billie]

Well, you are more than welcome, and you know that I enjoy making them probably more than anything!

[gardengirl]

Loved that song when I was growing up! :)
