      #2 The little and laugh
      #3 Septolets in motion

      #5 9×11 Twitter flash
      #6 Buckin Bull go-round

          It seems crazy in blogland at the moment – or is that just me? I’m very excited about the publication of your new book. I haven’t downloaded my copy yet, but am looking forward to reading it. Congratulations! I wish you success with it. 🙂
