I received yummy summer goodness in the mail today!

A "care package" of delicious POMWonderful pomegranate juice, courtesy of the POMBlogger.
These are teeny little 8 oz. bottles of juice that came packed with 2x3 ice packs and a cool fun facts information packet about pomegranates.
I was so happy to see these little bottles after a horrible past-2-days...and even John decided that these tasty little drink treats looked good enough to try (and like) for the first time. Yay!!!

POMBlogger team - thank you for making my day. Big love!

...a neighbor is looking for a home for him. He is SWEET. He has gorgeous stripes and a very healthy coat. He is friendly and loves to be petted. He is also neutered and up to date on his shots.

Please, please - if you know anyone who can give him a home, message me. Thank you!

Hi - I know I haven't blogged in forever, but I had to do a quick pop-in for a friend of mine whom we all know and love if you've read my blog regularly in the past.

Andreea (formerly andreeainjapan on FLickr) is part of a wonderful, grassroots animal rescue in Romania called ROBI - Asociatia pentru protectia animalelor/ Animal Protection Association.

All volunteers.

From their Flickr page -
In order to find more about us, please feel free to visit our website:
Romanian page: http://www.4animals.ro/
English page: http://www.4animals.ro/index_en.html
(the English page is less complete than the Romanian page, but we're working on it! :-)

This is a Facebook page for ROBI as well - if you have a chance to share it, please do.

Andreea and her friends work very hard to help & save those strays & ferals who have been abandoned and left to die. This is definitely a worldwide issue but especially those who are pet owners know how much joy a dog or cat brings to our daily lives, and speaking for myself, I try and help out as many people who are trying to help out the strays as much as possible.

On a domestic note, another friend of mine, Sue, is pushing the stray cat & dog rescue effort here at home

this is her Flickr page

Same efforts, just here in the US. She works extra hard to keep stray dogs & cats safe in Louisiana.

Both groups are VERY important & I hope everyone takes a look & shares the awareness.

MANY THANKS TO ANDREEA & SUE FOR LOOKING OUT FOR ALL OUR FURBABIES :-)

This past weekend was Maryland Sheep & Wool 2009 and even though I didn't get to go to both days, I spent an amazing Saturday night with online friends that I have know for years through the Knitty Coffeeshop and Ravelry. This piccie is one taken by Cristi (thank you!) while we were all at Pam's house - I was getting an awesome hug from my little NJ sister Jesh. I've known her since 2006 but we've never met in person til this moment. Also met my Amazing Asian Trifecta sistas Karen aka cooknknit and Tania aka mikomiao - as well as the uber fabulous Rosi G. and equally fab Denise aka BoricuaKnitter424 Alice aka yarnkarma with sweet hubby Jeff and Valerie & her sweet hubby Dustin. Two words sum up the weekend: GOOD TIMES!

Side bar - today we had a good-bye lunch with Cristi (it was Pam, me & John) at DuClaw and googly eyes. Cristi's piccies will follow at some point because I'm lame and keep forgetting to carry a camera these days.
