Before you think I have gone off the deep end, let me introduce you to Nutsy, the mascot of the Richmond AA minor league baseball team, THE FLYING SQUIRRELS! He made an appearance at our school to promote reading, and I took several shots of him with the kids. He may not be as cute and cuddly as Charlie, but the 2nd graders loved him and I'm sure Louise would too. (I feel safe in saying that;, Louise gets along with everyone!)
What a great capture, Allison! Louise is gonna love it! (I think she's going to have a really fun time today looking at everyone's submissions, all for HER!)
Oh Alli, I fill overwhelmed with "Squirrel Joy" from you today! I've been simply speechless at what you all did here...I'm touched more than you'll ever imagine! When Autumn called me at home yesterday, she told me I could now be in on "The Secret", and I've been in pure amazement ever since! Stunned too that my own girls were in on it and didn't say a peep! I feel like I'm at the biggest party of my life as I sit here in front of the computer! Thank you for your thoughts, that were obviously with me as you were "out and about"...it's nice to know I'm a part of the lives of others in part as you and our compatriots are interwoven into my life, too. Please read the note I left you and the others at the end of the thread...it's from the heart. You all have a heart as big as all outdoors, given what you've done for me...wow...and thank you!
