First, our pally, Ratty (The Everyday Adventurer), was hurt in a car accident on Friday. He was rear-ended at a stoplight and had to be transported to the hospital. We are all anxiously awaiting an update on his well-being, but for now we can only send get-well wishes and prayers that he is okay.
I'm thinking that little mouse body of his must have really gotten thrown around that vehicle. Poor pally. Get well soon, Ratty! We sure miss you! Here is a little peaceful frog photo to recuperate with:
Second on the agenda today is lots of thank you's.
It was like a cabillion years ago that Sara (Red Pine Mountain) had a giveaway on her blog and she sent me a copy of Karen's (My Funny Dad Harry and Karen & Gerard Zemek) book "My Funny Dad, Harry".
What a treat that was!! Karen tells such sweet stories of her elderly father and his kitties--a light read about love and patience mixed in with some fun. Add in that Sara is also a dear pally who surprised me with this in the mail--and I'm downright giddy. Thank you, Sara!
And what could make this whole book thing even better?? Yep--a Tazzy bookmark from another pally! Tracy (Crazy Suburban Mom) sent me this to crack me up:
Isn't it sweet?? Look at Tazzy--she's all angel-like! The only thing better than a Tazzy bookmark is.....uh....a GINGER bookmark!! (I wonder if Tracy has any of those hangin' around?)I'll have to ask her.
Thanks, Tracy! It makes me laugh every single time I look at it.
Lastly is this wonderful surprise:
Look what my crazy fun cousin, Tracy, made for me!! Aren't they cool????! They are blog-header notecards that I could send to my pallies if I had all their addresses and I wanted to write them notes and stuff!! But she didn't send a thousand of them or anything, so I'm saving them for special occasions. 
Sweet!
Uber-Cool!
Not only did that talented cousin of mine send me some super cool notecards from Sincerely Yours, she made these special to surprise me. She has her button over there on the sidebar, and I would highly recommend her cards should you have something special come up in your life OR if you want to represent your blog to your customers or followers. I am SOOOO diggin' these.Criminy, that's a lot of business we took care of today. Sheesh, it was exhausting.
Hey, speaking of exhausting--Happy Back-to-Work-after-the-holiday-and-Friday-is-gonna-come-up-super-quick-now Monday!!! I love me a short work week!

Neat cards Lin! And on that note, there's an award for you today on Secondary Roads. Please drop by and claim it.
Perfectly wonderful note cards! :D
Wishing Ratty for a fast recovery.
Wow, what wonderful cool things you got!!! Love the cards from your cousin too!
I'll be sending good thoughts in the direction of your blog friend!
Oh no she dih-ent on those bitchin' cards! Those are beyond awesome. LOVE. Them.
Blessings and hopes for a quick recovery for your friend.
Whoa! You sure cleaned up-- I mean in the sense of getting lots of neat stuff.
Neat frog picture.
How sweet of your cousin to make you those special cards ~ you are lucky to have crafty relatives! :)
Have a terrific Tuesday Lin!
xo Catherine
Hope your friend feels better soon!
I hope Ratty is okay! The cards are adorable. I don't know if I would ever use them because I would want to save them for something special. I don't know if anything would be special enough.
Surprise presents, no matter what they are, are the BEST!
Get well to Ratty.
Awesome notecards!
I hope your friend is OK. Rearenders can be troublesome.
Goat hugs.
The cards are very cool. Your cousin is very talented.
You made a haul today, Lin! Nice cards. Does anyone actually write notes any more?
I love the short week too but I do HATE how I keep thinking today is monday and that makes me feel old and confused! I have to keep reminding myself that I have a class to teach tonight, TUESDAY. Do they make a vitamin for this?
I'm sure that Ratty will love the frog picture. Sure hope we hear something from him soon.
Love, love those blog header note cards. Those are so cool
Visiting your blog is just like popping in for a cup of coffee. Thanks for the time. I love the cards.
Violet--Yeah, me too. Ratty is a good guy and pally. It's a good sign that he posted--his fingers are working at least.
Diana--Aren't they??! I can't decide who I'm gonna send a note too...
A.Marie--Aren't they cool??! I was really surprised! And the quality is really something. I hope you can get some too.
Chuck--Oh, rats! That reminds me--I have two other awards I never posted. Criminy. I'll never catch up!
June Zach--Yeah, poor Ratty. How scary!
Nancy--Oh, Nancy--I thought of you when I got these because I know you make notecards too. She has really nice cards! I had her make me a wedding card and an anniversary card personalized for the recipients. WOW! It always amazes me what people can do.
CG--Yeah, I might have to send you one someday. Maybe. And I might include a Hobbes photo or something. ;)
Vanilla--I am such a jerk! I always get cool stuff and then I forget to post photos and thank you's. I'm a terrible blog pally sometimes. :(
Catherine--It always amazes me what people can do. These are beyond cool--I can't wait to use them!
Betty--Yeah, scary for poor Ratty. It's tough when a pally is down and you know them, but you don't and you can't help them out. I feel so helpless.
Anne--That is what I am doing! I'm saving them and I'm trying to figure out who is gonna get them and for what! They are too cute to part with!
Grace--No kidding! I LOVE hand-written letters and packages too. Thanks for posting for me, Grace. ;)
Lola--If I knew Ratty's address, I'd send him one. :(
Pricilla--I know! I'm sooo worried about him because I don't know his real name or how to send him a card or anything. I'd love to send him one of these to wish him well. :(
Sharky--I do! I love to send and receive hand-written notes. Isn't that sad that folks don't do that anymore?? Joe and I used to live very far apart and we'd write love letters ALL the time. I think I still have them.
peewee--Hahaha! I do that too! I didn't want to admit that though. :)
Ann--I'm so worried about Ratty! Isn't it hard when you feel like you know him, but you don't really?? I wish we could help!
Marilynne--Awwww, that was the nicest thing to say, Marilynne! Can I pour you another cup, pally?
This is the first I heard about Ratty. Thanks for letting me know. I love his nature blog and sure hope he's okay.
Thanks for posting about my book on here too with the link love.
I'm loving those cards. Your super cool, talented cousin did an exceptional job!
Sorry about the pally and the accident. Prayers are heading out to your pally.
Loved the happy picture of the toad.
Karen--I was so excited to get and read your book, Karen! I LOVE it! I feel like part of the family now. :)
Chocolate--Aren't the notecards cool???! I was so excited. I wish I could send one to Ratty. :(
I hope your friend gets well soon! Congratulations on all your cool prizes! Enjoy your short week!
I saw that news too. Hope he will recover in no time. Nice cards Lin. My Birthday is on 25 Oct, FYI :)
Oh, Lin, I didn't know about Ratty. I am sending prayers and let us know how he's doing if you find anything out. He's such a big part of the blogosphere.
You got some wonderful cards! Thanks for mentioning the book. I never expected that and you are very sweet to do so. Glad you enjoyed it!
The cards are spectacular!!!
Beaded Tail--Oh, I love me a short week! Although I'm always confused on what day it is, I like getting to Friday extra-fast!
V7--Okay, you'll have to send me your address now too. :)
Mtn Woman--He is a big part of Blog world! I keep checking to see if there is an update on his blog. I know you didn't expect the mention, but I was so excited to get that in the mail! :) Thanks again, pally.
Rebecca--Aren't they great?? She is very talented.
Those cards really rock. Your cousin certainly is talented.
Oh no, I hope your friend fully recovers from the accident.
I just "met" Karen & Gerard and they're fab! What a small (big!) bloggy world.
Those cards are to die for! Very fab.
