Look like Artistry, a hybrid tea rose with the slight ruffles on the out end: http://www.justourpictures.com/roses/artistry.html<br /><br />Thanks again, Kathleen. I look forward to reading it. It sounds like it'll make me smile.<br />JulieJulie Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242380140265459688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5151203768395758839.post-6865387704585569342009-11-19T04:49:15.819-08:002009-11-19T04:49:15.819-08:00Men of Paradise, seems a very good book ! i love t...Men of Paradise, seems a very good book ! i love the cover!<br />And it's always great knowing a new author for me :)mariskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10540813942094048626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5151203768395758839.post-10946565298906135662009-11-19T04:27:11.754-08:002009-11-19T04:27:11.754-08:00I closed up too early.

My DH talks to his dog in that soft crooning voice, which I used to answer until I realized he was not talking to me. <br /><br /> Her vocabulary is not that large, but 'Walk' is one word she definitely understands. I swear she tries to say it when I've gone past the time for me to take her out!<br /><br />Good luck with your book, Kathleen. It sounds so cute. And Sharon, I know it's a little late, but maybe Oliver could fix me a hot toddy for bedtime!!<br />:-)<br />JulieJulie Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242380140265459688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5151203768395758839.post-1229437067555529222009-11-18T17:54:49.454-08:002009-11-18T17:54:49.454-08:00Nice job, Kathy!!

There are so many of us who own dogs, or is it they who own us. My dog is so spoiled, he eats better than we do. He has allergies and has to have special food. The heat here<br />in Florida is very hard on even inside dogs.<br />Yeah Sharon, another great blog.

No sooner would he walk through the door when he'd hurl himself around his leg and claw him unmerciless. Turned out he wasn't so great. Hmm. Something about that animal sixth sense and radar, huh? Mona and Linda, thanks for dropping in. So glad you enjoyed the interview. Oliver is still serving snacks and will be happy to bring you a drink from the poolside bar. Lyn, great advice about the rescue dogs. And your sweet Bouncer was sitting under his lucky star the day you chose him. You've given him such a wonderful life. People that abuse animals...don't get me started....Sharon Donovanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14648684299903722373noreply@blogger.com
