Thanks for all the wonderful anniversary wishes yesterday, everyone.

I just read that there's some trouble with Sitemeter that is making blog pages not load in Internet Explorer. So for now I've removed the Sitemeter.

Oh, and something I've recently learned. Always turn off the flash before taking a picture of the cats. Otherwise, they end up looking evil.

GREAT BIG BUNNY THREAD

Here's the bunny I painted on the bathroom wall Thursday evening,
named in honour of my niece Rebecca's Great Big Bunny, who 
recently passed on to the great rabbit hutch in the sky.

I painted it in anticipation of a visit from Granddaughter*in*NC
over Labor Day weekend.  More critters to come.  XOXOXXX

P.S.:  I sent the picture to niece Rebecca and she wrote back:
"Aw, he even looks like Great Big Bunny!!! Very nice!!" 

I feel pleased and honoured!  ♥  listener

Ally's ANC count is staying around 100, but her platelet count is around 4 (four)
where 150-250 is normal, so she needs another transfusion...this may be #7, so far.

♡♡♡♡♡ Thanks so much for the vibes and prayers and candles!!! ♡♡♡♡♡
