Mama, we *ALWAYS* are ready to see photographs of your new baby, and Dave's mutts - and deadhead's Miss Lucy, etc..:))
However, "Dinky Applebuns" happens to be the translated name of STARWISE --
introduced us on the Prayer Thread for TexasCowboy to "how to do it!"
Perhaps she can be *persuaded* to share "The Formula" here --
"Pleeze, Miss Dinky - will ya? Huh huh??"
"It's summer, and we don't have to pretend to be so stuffy..:)"
Oh, that's right. I remember now. But, I think that name fits my Chachi perfectly. :-)
It will be a miracle if this little guy ever learns his name - we call him everything from "sweet pea" to "puppy buns", and now he has yet another nickname. LOL.
it THAT WAY, I'll be happy to 
the receep.
Tracking back, the beachy days of my yute were in New England .. the glorious vistas of Cape Cod, Black Point Beach and Rocky Neck Beach near Niantic, CT, and as a careless young ingenue.. on the beaches of Misquamicut in Westerly, RI. I lived in FL for 30+ years, and have had family continuously in Jensen Beach, FL, enjoyed the delightful beaches there and Stuart and for nigh onto 40 years, with trips to Sanibel, Captiva, etc. ... I can still conjure up the smell of Bain de Soleil and get melancholy, and relate to this position .. VERY WELL.
I've been to Bermuda, lived in the Bahamas, and the "feel" and aura of the Atlantic is still what I think of when I think of summery beach days ..nothing like it to me.
< And now, a message from Yur Frend, Dinky Applebuns, Miss XLady .. AKA Miss Gadget Tofu Humperdink (that's all I can come up with, when you've got ONE LETTER IN YOUR LAST NAME .. LOL. Of course, BG has a bunch of trouble coming .. she's Miss Poopsie Gizzard Tushie .. now, she's really a bullseye TARGET!

Here is your dose of humor...Follow the instructions to find your new name.
Remember: children laugh an average of 146 times a day; adults laugh an average of 4 times a day.
