Two Fun Things and Happy 2021

 

My friend, Diane, of Diane Wants To Write completely surprised me with the cutest portrait of me that she commissioned. I wish I was this cute! It does capture me, and I love that she included my blog's name as a framed wall print.


 This is the famous Mr. Bounce in his new Christmas coat. Does he look like a lamb or a bear? In any case, he is a Dear. Let's all look to a blessed New Year of 2021.

He still looks like a dog - but one in need of a New Year cuddle so give him an extra one from me. Happy New Year.

Mr. Bounce does not look as if he is a fan of the coat. He does look very cuddly though.

How wonderful to get something so special from Diane! She's a special friend to me too and I treasure the cards and notes she's sent over the years. I'm having trouble getting on her blog though. I'll have to keep trying! Happy new year!
