Macro Monday
No super macro today...been tooooo busy with the kids,and setting up new stuff over at Libs Library.
BUT - yesterday morning the boys ran into the house yelling
" Nonnie, get your camera. Come Quick!"
So out I came.
And this dragonfly (above) was flitting around.
I tried so hard to get a good shot of him,
but any movement sent him off to another spot.
When his wings were lifted up over his head - he truly looked like a wee tiny dragon!
Below is a little lizard that came running over to see what all the fuss was about!
I'll try to be more diligent this week, in looking for good macro and super maco opportunities!
Head on over to Libby's Literary Library today, as later today,
I will be posting more links to book
(and sometimes other cool stuff) giveaways.
You can find it HERE.
Some exciting news. I was just offered my first ARC for review.
Can't wait for the book to arrive, and to be able to "meet" the author!!!
I'm working on my interview questions now.
I'm up to 56 followers so we're over half way in the I Need 100 Followers Contest.
I'll be adding some more goodies to the package in the next few days.
Soooooooooooooo if you haven't entered
Go HERE.
Wishing you all a wonderful week. Stay cool, and don't forget to use sunscreen!

Well Duh!
In Case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label Instructions on consumer goods.
On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. (As shucks - that's the only time I have to work on my hair!)
On a bag of Fritos: You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (The shoplifter special?)
On a bar of Dial Soap: Direction - Use like regular soap. (Okay.)
On some Swanson Frozen Dinners: Serving suggestion - Defrost. (But this is only a suggestion.)
On Tesco's Tiramisu Dessert (printed on bottom): Do not turn upside down. (Well why in the heck didn't you tell me that before, cause it's a bit late now!)
On packaging for a Rowenta Iron: Do not iron clothes on body. (Somebody please go get me a stupid sign!)
On Nytol Sleep Aid: Warning: May cause drowsiness. (Well Duuuuuuuuuuh!)
On Sunsbury's Peanuts: Warning - contains nuts. (Ditto above.)
On a child's superman costume: Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly. (Oh - I wish they had told me this 30 years ago when I got one for my son. Yeah he actually tried to fly.)
AND MY FAVORITE
On a sun shield for the front window of your car: Warning - Remove before driving. ( I think I better order the stupid signs by the case!!!)

Contest and Prayers Needed!
Well - my I Want 100 Followers Contest is off to a rip roaring start - 3 more followers.
Oh be still my heart.
Maybe I'll have to see about upping the anti.
I have a dear friend, Susan, in Florida. I stayed with her and her sweet husband, Bob, for about 4 weeks while I was down there having my surgery. Now she is having surgery next week. Sunday night she called me to tell me that her father had died. Then yesterday, her sister (while in route to meet Susan and their brothers at the funeral home) was in a horrible car crash. Seems as if an older gentleman swerved into her lane and hit her head on.
The man died, and Joan was airlifted to the hospital.
Want to see the photo's of the cars?
Go HERE
After seeing the photo's I think you'll agree with me,
that it's a miracle that Joan is alive...
but she could sure use some "help" and so could her family...
...so would you all please do me a favor and pray for Joan, Susan, and their families?
These people are more than just friends to me - they ARE family!
I talked to Bob yesterday afternoon, and he said that Joan would be okay,
but I haven't been able to get in touch with anyone today for an update on her condition.
Thanks - I know that I can count on you!

Pugs in Desperate Need of Help
Can you help??
As all of you know by now - I am an animal nut, and I love pugs. I was a foster parent for a pug rescue organization when I lived in Florida. I also adopted rescued pugs! I cannot stand to think of these precious creatures mistreated, and I want to help out whenever I can. Won't you please help me get the word out about some pugs that need help NOW?
There are SEVEN Pugs that have been rescued from a puppy mill on the west side of Indiana. This weekend, they are making their way to their new foster homes through
Green Mountain Pug Rescue in Vermont,
but they need help getting there!!!!
Please read the info below and contact:
sheri-transport@comcast.net
if you can help.
KPR does not have foster homes for these pugs so
Green Mountain Pug Rescue has agreed to take them.
If you would - please post this information on your blogs!
This transport MUST FILL by FRIDAY at 5:00 p.m. - - please help/crosspost!
SEVEN (7) puppymill rescue Pugs need a ride from Honey Creek Vet Clinic in Terre Haute, IN to fully-screened fosters for Green Mtn. Pug Rescue in VT this weekend! Passenger info is at bottom of this email. NOTE: Each Pug travels in his/her own SMALL wire crate (to stay with them thru transport).
Crates are PUG-SIZED: 22"X13"X16 - we have a small hatchback wagon and using the "way back" area, backseat and front seat, we could *easily* fit all seven crates! Even if you can only fit SOME of the Pugs, we still need you!! I'll request two drivers per leg, but if your vehicle can accommodate the 7 little crates, please let me know (we'll only need one driver for that leg). Legs are FLEXIBLE so let me know ASAP/privately what you can drive - any leg can be SPLIT to make it easier!
If you can drive this weekend, please provide your transport info & vehicle size (phone/cell, car/color, plates/state & rescue affiliation) ASAP. This transport will be fully-monitored, and permission is granted to crosspost. Thanks so much for considering this transport!
