Thanks so much to you Betty (Joy in our Lives blog - on my sidebar) for the lovely present you sent me. I am chuffed with it.
I am just tickled pink because the postman brought me a little surprise this morning. What I found inside made my day and put me in the pink all day! It was a mounted photo of my favourite actor, John Wayne, a movie still from my favourite film, The Quiet Man. It is going up in my cottage next to my photo of Maureen O'Hara in her wedding gown from the same film. I have a Quiet Man corner there. It is perfect for it!
This is the card she sent me with the photo.
Sassy is a s Sassy Does! Yup, that's me Betty!
A real handsome hero. I love him in the role of Sean Thornton, in The Quiet Man...of course Sean knew when to be quiet ......and when not to be!
I got a real AWWWW! moment when I opened the lovely card to find...a fluffy foofoo poodle. Well, what can one expect from a great dog lovin' lady who has three rescued poodles (my favourite is the one eyed one who looks like he is winking, Gus.
And if that's not enough Betty and her husband have just rescued an adorable little black dog, Tommy. He is just sooooo beautiful. Check out her great blog for the most adorable dogs in blogland.
Again, thank you Betty. I am thrilled with your kind gift. I will think of you every time I see it and I will be keeping the cute card too.
...And more blog gifts from another wonderful blogger Lizbiz (also on sidebar)

You crack me up...between the kitten purring and the sound of rowing...just about fell asleep...sucks to get old. Have to admit I played with it for awhile, won't tell ya how long though.
And yes, I love to hear the dog tales, if I brought another dog home, Scratchy would disown me, not to mention disembowel the poor creature...well maybe not that bad...but we would suffer, lemme tell ya!
I love that kitten!!! Ha! Can't stop playing with it...I need a life...
