Thank you, Marie. I know that you already had your Mother’s Day in Ireland a few months ago, but we hadn’t met, yet, so from me to you, I hope today was wonderful and that you enjoy a lovely week. Clare
Aw, thanks Clare. You’ll laugh when I tell you that I guilt tripped my poor children- telling them my blogger friends had all posted mothers day greetings and my kids had forgotten me!! Then I realised Mothers Day in Ireland had come and gone and I was the one who had forgotten!
Thank you , Marniparna. I hope they made you smile. I’ve been having fun taking some extra animal photos for the new book and wanted to share some more of them. Have a wonderful week. Clare
Yes, his name is Charlie (just like my husband) and he loves to pose for me. I hope they never sell him. I’d be heartbroken if I couldn’t visit him and his buddy Buzz .(They live close-by.) I haven’t broken the news to Roxie about the Alpaca book I have coming out soon. She’ll be wild when she finds out Charlie and Buzz have a book and she still doesn’t!
This day is coming along quite well. Sun is shining and I’m getting things accomplished. Hope there’s some sunshine in your part of the world. Clare
Thanks, Yvette. Your newsletter mentioned Writer Beware, one of my favorite blogs. I’m amazed at the amount of valuable information offered. Take care….Clare
Today we went to the farm to get some alpaca poo for our gardens and I took more pictures. But we found out that they’ve sold the ten female alpacas. I’m so sad. I love visiting them with carrots. I think Charlie (the alpaca not St Charles) knew his mom would be leaving soon because he kept kissing her through the fence. He kissed me a few times, too, so maybe I can be his new mommy?! Hope your Mothers’ Day was a good one. Clare
Ethel, did I hear you say the alpaca book is coming before Roxie’s??? ooooo you in trouble!
I got my Mother’s Day card yesterday. Unsigned! But, better late than never, I guess!
Love, Lucy
Lucy, Shhhhh! We’re not telling Roxie until the last minute. I think you can figure out why. I’m going to let Charley break the news. It won’t be pretty!I think you’re a great mom and the best grandmother ever! And extremely patient. Love, Ehel
Okay, but just let her know I registered a formal complaint on her behalf!!
Maybe take her out to a fresh tuna dinner first??
Thank you, Ethel!
Love, Lucy
Enchanting photos of these sweet animals. Happy Mother’s Day!
