I've been really busy these past few days ~ taking a friend to Alton for physical therapy while getting out the next issue of my genealogy journal and working on PR for the new novel ~ and also looking for a new car before Delores, my 1998 Aurora, expires. :) Anyway, to show you that I haven't forgotten you, here is a picture of my three furry loved ones: 8-year-old Melanie Muffin, 4-year-old Chelsie Pamelyn, and 2-year-old Elly Fae. Melly and Chelsie are 13-pounders, twice the size of their little sister, but Elly Fae is definitely the queen of the household ~ a queen with an inclination to terrorize and bully her older sisters. :)
