The Candle Queen 5K Romp 2014. . .PINK, PINK EVERYWHERE!!!

 

My post today is definitely filled to the brim with PINKNESS!!!

First, let me give you a little background as to just how I came to be a part of the fabulous day I'm going to share with you this weekend.

I met Stacy, owner of THE CANDLE QUEEN CANDLES and GIFT BOUTIQUE in Leavenworth, KS,  in August of 2011, when two friends and I traveled to that town just to see her store!!  We'd picked up a little postcard about it at a local flea market and were told by the vendor in that booth that we really needed to visit that shop.  

And so we did!!!

HERE is the link to the post I wrote about our trip to Leavenworth and how I came to meet The Candle Queen.

    

I fell in love with her little boutique and her awesome candles and with her.  She's such a bubbly lady that you just can't help but be "upbeat" once you are around her!!

I "liked" her on Facebook and was able to keep up with all that was going on in her Candle Queen world.  And then last year she did something that "rocked my socks off" (as my DIL would say)...she hosted a 5K run/walk to benefit a charity.

I had already made plans for the date on which the event would be held, but I knew I wanted to make it to the Candle Queen's 5K Romp this year!!

And I did!!

Along with two of my running pals, we traveled to Leavenworth last Saturday and located her delightful shop for "packet pickup"!!

THIS is Stacy's darling little car!!!  It was parked right by her store. . .ready for tons and tons of folks to get pictures of it!!

Like me!!

 

 

 

 

On the brick wall of her shop, an artist created this beautiful chalk drawing for the 5K participants to use for pictures, as well!!

And you'll see later that we did that, too!

 

 

 

Here's Stacy, the owner of The Candle Queen Boutique. . .getting everything in place for us to be able to pick up our packets for her event to be held the next morning!

 

 

Mary (left) and I had driven from Kansas City early that morning so we would have the day to enjoy antiquing and shopping and dining in historic Leavenworth, KS!  

And boy oh boy did we !!!  

 

 

 

The next morning, we arrived bright and early for the 5K, hanging out near the START which was in front The Candle Queen Boutique. 

 

 

 

All three of us are pictured below, just before the 5K!   L to R me, Mary and Karen! 

Yes..we have on our tiaras!!

 

 

 OK. . .this shot may seem odd to you non-run/walk folks, but it's a little bit of heaven in the eyes of us who participate in such events!!  A welcome sight for sure. . .all of these clean porta potties. . . as there were 1,200 (mostly women!) who had signed up to do  this 5K !  :)

 

 

I thought this group shot of us turned out great!!  It was taken by SeeKCRun, as were all of the photos in this blog with the tag on the lower left that said "2014 Queen's 5K Romp. Leavenworth, KS" .

SeeKCRun is such an awesome organization.  They take tons and tons of pictures at local races, then make them available for us to print for free!!  We so appreciate that!!

 

 

 

 

 

In this picture, we are getting ready to start!!   Stacy is on the right, ready to "sound the horn"!!!

 

 

I found this photo from SeeKCRun that pictured Mary (on left with the white hat) and Karen is on the right.  My attempts at arrows are sloppy!

 

 

 

And here I am!  :)

 

 

 

 The following photo just took my breathe away when I saw it on The Queen's Romp Facebook page.  It was taken by Debra of:

First City Photo in Leavenworth, KS.

 

This run was not an easy one for me as I've been dealing with a weird hurt leg issue since mid-February.  I was not in good running shape or condition, but I so very much wanted to do this particular 5K cuz it just looked so FUN in the pictures I saw of it last year.

I told Debra in a message, that because I was just trying to push through the run that morning,  I didn't pay attention to how lovely the area really was that we were in.  Her photo captured a wonderful moment in time with so many ladies running along that trail.  It was truly a sea of pink- - -one that I was so thrilled to be a part of that morning.   

 

 

 As I said earlier, SeeKCRun, took tons and tons of awesome photos, too.  Here is one I found where I've got a determined look to "get this done"!!  We are running along the river front here. . .you can see the water and the gorgeous bridge in the background.  It's also in this stretch of the run that I do recall two pretty significant hills. . .they did me in!!  :)

 

 

 

And at last. . .I crossed the finish line!!  My time was slower than what I've done in the past, but I felt such a sense of accomplishment in completing the run. . by mostly running it!  ha ha.  I did totally run the first mile, then I ran/walked the rest of it.

 

 

Karen came in first place and I was second place in our age division.  She nailed a swell bottle of champagne for her accomplishment!!

And Mary had quite an accomplishment at this 5K, too. . .it was the first time she'd ever completed that distance without walking!!   I'm so proud of her!!

 

 

 The Queen's 5K Romp selects a charity each year to be the  recipient of the funds raised by the event.  This year, Stacy was able to give $10,000 to THE FARMER'S HOUSE, a local organization that works with developmentally delayed individuals.    They are provided practical vocational skills through the experiences of tending a garden and selling various products  (including vegetables, fruit, honey, cheese, and farm and home related items')at The Farmer's Market.   Included in  the many skills they learn are:  "operating a cash register, making change, stocking the shelves, interacting with customers, planning, tending and harvesting the market garden. . . .and so much more."

 

 

 Here Stacy makes the presentation to the Farmer's House!  What a great moment!!

 

 

 

 

We had so much fun being a part of The Queen's 2014 5K Romp.   It was one super special event!!

 

 

 Here's the loot I brought home from Stacy's shop!!  She makes the most amazing candles, so I stocked up.  I also HAD to get this sweet little glass!!

 

 

 

THE STONE RABBIT looks pretty swell wearing my tiara and blingy medal from the Queen's 5K.  He also LOVES the pink bib I got to wear that day. . .and thinks I need to put that event on my calendar for next year, too!!

And so do I!!

 

 

 Hope you head on over to Beverly's blog, HOW SWEET THE SOUND!!  There will be a long line of other bloggers ready to share their pinks with you this weekend!!

Happy Pink Saturday!!

PINK SATURDAY Christmas Share!

 

Yes you ARE seeing PINK spots before your eyes!!  They are actually on the cover of one of my favorite Christmas gifts.  

Can you guess what it is?  

Hmmmmmm?

 

 

 

You're correct if you guessed "i-Pad"!!!!

My husband surprised me with this fantastic bit of technology!

I can say that, prior to having it, I never thought I'd get that crazy over one. . .but now that I have it at my fingertips...well...I'm NUTS about it!!

It's basically a big iPhone...but I can actually see the screen!!  :)

Oh, my, it's so nice to have it anywhere with me so I can quickly check my really important e-mail messages (joking with that!), but what I really like is to be able to quickly be "on-line" without having to go into "the office" to do that at my desk top computer.  Yes, it truly brings out my laziness!!  :)

 

 

It's so fun to be able to quickly check my favorite blogs and websites.  

 

 

I've  loaded some "free" e-books  that are waiting for me to spend the time reading them.  However, my biggest iPad passion, over the last couple of weeks, has been catching up on Seasons one and two of :  DOWNTON ABBEY!!!

I can't believe I've never watched it until now. . .but I am totally savoring every moment of it!

 

 

 

 

I know, I could be watching it on the TV in the family room. . .big screen and all, but THE STONE RABBIT and I love to retreat to "the office" (while the hubby is channel surfing in the family room on the big screen), put the electric throw over us (because it's been COLD here) and watch a couple of episodes at a time!!

We are totally smitten with this show. . .the characters, the story lines, the costumes, the history.  We just feel like it's the best TV viewing we've ever experienced.  

 

 

 

 

AND, my oh my,  who couldn't be totally in LOVE with Maggie Smith as Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham!!   Talk about someone who has gotten better and better with age!!!

I love her quotes that are peppered through out the episodes. . .humorous, insightful, opinionated, subtle.  

Here's a Violet-ism:  "I'm a woman, Mary.  I can be as contrary as I choose."

 

I hope you get a chance to watch Downton Abbey.  If you're not already hooked on it, you most likely will be!

Something else I'm hooked on.....yep, PINK SATURDAY!!!

Please visit Beverly's blog, HOW SWEET THE SOUND.  You will find a lot of other bloggers who are ready to share their pinks with you!!

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY!

BOXING UP THE MOMENT

 

 

Sometimes I just want to pinch myself when life is so momentarily sweet.  Those times don't seem to happen that often and when they do. . . I just want to box myself up with them. . . so they'll last a little longer.

Like this morning, for instance. . . .

I had a super duper full day planned, but I wanted to spend some time taking in the gift of our amazing Missouri morning before the rain (which our lawns will more than appreciate) rolls in.

 

I positioned myself at the far end of our patio.....the part where there is no roof.....and just stared up at the blue sky. . . watching a buzzard circling south of our house. . . then hearing the drone of a small plane and eyeing the sky til it popped into view.

 

 

The noise from a nearby high way was gone, now that rush hour was over, and all I could hear was the wind picking up . . . bringing in some dark clouds and causing the plants on our patio to rustle and the big trees in the yard behind us to stir.

 

 

I wanted to use this quiet, alone time to jot down questions I have for a little "interview" I'm doing with a fellow "elder runner" and . . . 

 

 

to read a few more pages in THE HELP.  I've vowed I will not see the movie til I finish reading it.

 

Once in a while, I've been letting my kitty Twiggy out on the patio with me, too.  I can't trust her to "stick around" like I can my older (and a bit brainier boy cat, Frankie), so I put THE STONE RABBIT in charge of watching her while I wrote my questions and read in my book.

 

 

It was such a rare and peaceful moment we were having and I have to say, I was totally absorbed in my writing and reading. . .when  I was jolted back into reality by the sound of loud squawking Canada Geese. 

 

I heard the sounds, then saw five air born, and ENORMOUS, geese bodies barely clearing the roof of the house across the street, then zooming between our house and that of our neighbor's . . .at a very, very low level.  

Now, we have lots of geese sightings (and ducks) around here because of the pond on a nearby golf course, however, I've NEVER seen them flying over so close to the ground. . . and my head!!!

I wish I had been quicker thinking to grab my camera and snap a photo of them, but I was literally shocked at how fast they came out of no where. . . .  so loudly and low flying, to their next stop.  

This was little Twiggy's first experience with a goose....let a lone five of them.  Once I saw that they were so close, I quickly looked for her, wondering if she was gonna head for the door or make a dash for it off the patio,  but she didn't do either.  Instead, she took the "how small can I make myself look approach" and flattened out on the patio floor. . .doing everything except putting her little paws over her eyes.

 

When the noise stopped, she rose up and hesitantly looked around. . .trying to determine the current safety level.  :)

 

So, while my "quiet time" had been quickly turned upside down, I had to appreciate the moment. . . even when nearly dive-bombed by some noisy, low-flying geese. . . it was a pretty spectacular moment getting to see them up close as they made their way to the pond.

Another thing I appreciated this morning is how most of my plants have survived this crazy hotter than usual summer we've had.  I've had to have most of the pots pulled under the roofed part of the patio or they would have fried for sure.  This weekend, I was able to place them back in the spots they belong.

While I tend to be  a "glass half empty" gal who does strive  to be a "glass half full" person. . . I'm always better off when I sip my morning coffee from my beloved Mary Engelbreit Santa cup.  I find that if I can keep focused on "BELIEVE"  that my mind is in a happier, brighter place. . . at least until the geese take me by surprise again!

Moon Watch!

 

We weren't able to see the moon at its Super Fullness on Saturday evening because of cloud cover.  However, by Sunday night, the skies were looking clearer....and I was in official Moon Watch mode.  

Some time after 10:00 p.m., I looked out the front door AGAIN...and finally saw TWO moons!!!  :)  Actually, the streetlight and the moon were both shining brightly !!  

My little point and shoot didn't get a clear shot, so. . . . 

 

 I left THE STONE RABBIT waiting on the front porch (it was REALLY dark, so you might not be able to see him) and I . . .

 

 

dashed inside to fetch my hubby's big NIKON.  Thankfully, it was set to "automatic" so I was able to snap some moon pictures at last!!!

 

 WOW!   What a gift from above.

CHUTNEY LOVE. . . .

 

In a recent blog post, my friend Jill of THE BITTERSWEET SOAP CO., shared a recipe for "cranberry chutney".   She makes it every year as special gifts for special people.  

I asked  Bonnie if she would be interested in making some chutney.  Fortunately, she said "yes"!  You see, I don't have a clue about "canning" and she does!  

So, on Wednesday of this week, we met at her house and prepared to make Cranberry Chutney!

Armed with a copy of the recipe, jelly jars and all of the ingredients required to make the chutney, we were on our way!

 

Under the supervision of  Bonnie's sweet kitty "K-Mart", we started by. . . .

 

 

washing our half-pint jars and . . . 

 

heating the lids.   As the water bubbled softly in the pan, we  prepared the ingredients.

 

Bonnie took on the smelly task of chopping the onions.  Since we doubled the recipe, we needed two and one-half cups of those potent little items! 

 

 

I sorted and washed the cranberries and got the garlic and fresh ginger ready for Bonnie to put in the food processor.  Before long, we had a bowl full of chutney ingredients ready to go into the stainless pot for a few minutes of cooking!

 

 

While we waited for the mixture to cook, we. . . .

 

 each enjoyed a bowl of wonderful homemade vegetable beef soup.

Soon it was time to fill the jars, that we had been keeping hot in a canner of water, with the hot chutney.  

My job was to fish the jars out of the canner, then Bonnie would fill them with the luscious PINKISH chutney!!

While Bonnie wiped the rims of the jars, as soon as they were filled, I retrieved the lids from the pan of hot water.  With the lids in place,  she. . .  

 

put the rings on  and twisted tightly!

 

 

I placed the jars back in the hot water.  We let the water come to a rolling boil (with the lid on the pan) for ten minutes.  That's it!!!  We had canned Cranberry Chutney!!!  

We doubled the chutney recipe and were able to fill fourteen half-pint jars!!  

I was tickled PINK over this experience!! 

I used to help my mom can when I was young, but I hated it!!  Of course, we were working in the summer, with no air-conditioning.  Even though we would start in the cool of the morning, it wasn't too long before the kitchen reached oven-like temperatures.  I was the cutter and the chopper, while mom manned the canner or the pressure cooker and the hot jars.  I just didn't appreciate the importance of what she was doing. . . feeding her family healthy food on a limited budget.

With the guidance of Bonnie, I relived a bit of that canning time of days long gone.  The end result was very satisfying. . . to create a wonderful food to share with others.

Here we are, so proud of our efforts which had resulted in all of the gorgeous jars of Cranberry Chutney and a new feeling that Jill calls CHUTNEY LOVE!!  Jill's right. . . we're lovin' that chutney!! 

 

 

Cranberry Chutney tastes great with turkey!!!  Of course, I plan on serving some with this bird next Thursday when our family gathers for Thanksgiving Dinner!! 

 

 

THE STONE RABBIT wanted to send you a message just in case he doesn't see you again before next Thursday.  In fact, both of us wish you a truly wonderful and blessed day of "giving thanks" and we also wish you. . . .

 

 

a great Pink Saturday!!!  :)

 

 

We are so thankful to have Beverly, of HOW SWEET THE SOUND, as our faithful hostess and organizer of this weekly event. . . an event that has brought so many people close together every weekend for over two years to share their creative contributions of PINKS!

A GIFT OF PINK SMILES!!!!!

 Donna, of PARTY WISHES,  is a long time blogging buddy.     She's a wife and mom to three darling kiddos- - -  and the  owner of a  children's party business, which is also called  PARTY WISHES.    

Donna is one of the most creative and talented people around.  She adds such special touches to the activities she shares with her children and to the times she plans with her friends and for her business events.  On top of that, she's also just a super kind gal. . . and not just  to those around her, but  also  to her cyber friends. 

Recently,  I was the fortunate recipient of her thoughtfulness.  

In honor of my birthday, Donna sent me a very special gift!!  I was so excited, I ripped it open the moment I pulled it out of the mailbox!!  

 Donna knows my fondness for PINK.  She even wrapped my gift in PINK BUBBLE WRAP.    Check out the PINKNESS all over that box, too!!  She doesn't miss a detail!! 

 Here's the little note she included in my card!!!!

WOOOOOO-HOOOOOOO.  Donna KNOWS my love for dentures!  :)  If you don't know what I'm referring to, you can check out my first denture post (HERE) and another one(HERE).

Oh, and Donna has a great sense of humor, too!!

I didn't waste much time in filling up the little PINK "dental trays" with water, then placing them in the freezer!!

In just a short while, I had Denture Ice Cubes!!!  

 I think they add just the element of interest that was missing in my glass of  tea. . .

 don't you?   :)  

A glass filled with frozen smiles - - -  just what I need in the heat of our dreadful summer.  Those smiles are certain to perk up any drink and make me forget how cranky this heat wave is making me feel !!!

   
 Donna, THE STONE RABBIT, was nuts over the "frozen smiles", too!!  In fact, he was so taken by those little icy teeth, he was hoping you'd be on the lookout for some ice trays that look like little rabbit chompers!!  You know how he loves to entertain his fellow concrete yard bunnies!!  :)

Cheers to YOU, Donna, for adding such fun to my birthday. . . 

 and "cheers" to all of you PINK SATURDAY folks, too.   I hope this day is filled with lots of SMILES !!!

 Thanks to our hostess, Beverly, you can find a long list of other bloggers who have PINKS to share with you!!  Just visit her blog, HOW SWEET THE SOUND!!

Happy Pink Saturday!!!

GIFT IT FORWARD!

  My blogging pal Nancy of MY CRAFTY LITTLE PAGE offered up such a sweet opportunity recently.  It's kind of like a "pay it forward", but the concept is more of a "gift it forward".

The first five (5) people to sign up received special hand-created gifts by Nancy herself!!! 

I was lucky enough to be one of those people. Nancy made a BLESSING RING for each of us. . . .and this is how mine appeared as I opened the package!

Here is a close up of the purpose of THE BLESSING RING.  I think it is such a wonderful idea. . .and I have already added some items to it.

Another item Nancy included on the ring was the wonderful prayer. 

 

Nancy is a paper artist extraordinaire.  You can see how she put her skills to use in this creation.

Nancy loves these Lefton blue birds, and so do I.  She included this photo on the ring as well!

 

 

Twiggy put her "stamp" of approval on THE BLESSING RING!

Not only does she love the cards on THE BLESSING RING, she also LOVES the dangling ribbons!!  I have to keep it out of her reach!
 

 

NOW, it's MY turn to "gift it forward"!!!  Please read the words below (taken from Nancy!) and learn what this is all about! :)

"This isn't an exchange, but more of a "gift it forward" kind of thing. The people you make something for will not be making anything for you unless you happen to get on their list.

The first five (5) people to respond to this post will get something made by me - something REAL that you could actually stub your toe on if you left it lying around on the floor.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations so please read carefully.

1. There is no guarantee that you will like what I make, although I really hope you do. And, remember, sometimes it's okay to tell a little white lie to spare a person's feelings. *sniff*

2. What I create will be just for you.

3. It will be done 3 months from the day I make my offer.

4. I will not give you any clue what it's going to be, so don't bother begging. ;-)

5. If you sign up to receive something from me, all you need to do is offer your own "Make 5".

6. I'm willing to ship anywhere in the the U.S., but if you have geographical limits, please say so in your own post.

7. Since you're offering to Make 5 gifts, it's probably okay to sign up for 5 other people's "Make 5". Just follow your own heart on that. :)

8. Even though you sign up for others' Make 5, you might not actually get anything. It's probably best to plan to give with no expectation of a return gift. You just never know. :-)"

There you have it!!! I loved receiving Nancy's sweet gift. . .and if you want a handmade surprise from me AND if you want to participate in "Make 5", just be one of the first five folks to sign up!! :)

As you can tell THE STONE RABBIT  loves Nancy's gift, too.  We just have to keep an eye on Twiggy. . .she thinks those ribbons were meant just for HER! :)

SURPRISES! WHAT FUN!

In June, a package was delivered to our house.  THE STONE RABBIT and his yard buddies excitedly gathered around as I opened the box!  It was a surprise sent by Dixie of FRENCH LIQUE, TEXAS!

Dixie had selected a card imprinted with one of my favorite sayings and had written the sweetest note inside of it!!! 

What a surprise when I uncovered a little baby bunny tucked in the box!!!

Well, Baby Bunny (now called Lacey!) fits right in with the rest of the yard friends.  They are all so thrilled to welcome a new buddy to the group---and so am I.  THE STONE RABBIT spent lots of time introducing her to the neighborhood---she seems very happy here!!  Thank you, Dixie, for such a darling gift and for such kind words.

THEN, last week, right before my birthday, another box came in the mail!!!  It was from Nancy of MY CRAFTY LITTLE PAGE.  Not only is she gifted at creating scrapbooks, digital designs, paper crowns and so much more, but she is also an antique dealer with quite an eye for "vintage finds".

With THE STONE RABBIT watching as I opened the treasure, I pointed out how Nancy had gone to the trouble to pick out "S"s for the packing peanuts!!!  He was really impressed! :)

First, I enjoyed the sweet card and note from Nancy........

then I opened the cute little birthday hat package.

What  a darling gift Nancy had created!!!  It was a very special necklace she had made using a vintage domino!

When the domino is turned over----it says "BLOGGING CHICK" or "CHICK BLOGGING"! :)

Isn't this cute?  I just love it, Nancy.

Also included in the box was a vintage souvenir plate from MISSOURI----which is where I live! 

There are so many state scenes on the plate---the center features the capital building in Jefferson City, Missouri.

This scene shows some of the buildings in downtown Kansas City and the old airport (which is still in service and is now named Wheeler Airport after a former mayor).  Our newer, bigger airport is located north of the city and is named KCI for Kansas City International.

I so enjoyed the birthday gifts, Nancy, however, I'm having one little problem.  THE STONE RABBIT wants to wear my necklace ALL OF THE TIME!!!!  When I tell him,   "It's MY turn!"  he just hops away and reminds me that if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have a blog!  He can be difficult at times! :)

FUN STUFF!!!!

I was the lucky winner in Judi's, CRANBERRY BLOSSOM, recent giveaway!!!  

I was so excited to be picked from the many folks who had entered her drawing! 

Judi, who lives in Toronto, is a talented artist who sews, makes jewelry,  bath and body products and much more.  She sells these items in her Etsy shop! 

Judi made this sweet wrist purse---look at the beading and embroidery on the front!  Inside the bag were other little treasures!

Judi sent "Cranberry Peach Vanilla" lotion and a lavender "bath bomb" ----plus a gorgeous silver necklace and earring set!!! 

Thank you, Judi!  I have enjoyed all of the great items you so kindly sent!!!

Recently, Vivian of VIV LYN DESIGNS, sent a challenge my way!  

My instructions were to open my photo folder on my computer, then:
• Open the 6th folder of photos
• Select the 6th picture
• Post the picture on my blog with a description
• Invite six friends to join the challenge
• Link my six friends to my blog post.

This photo is NOT the 6th photo in the folder---but it's somewhere close to it!  It shows my little grand girl, nearly three years ago,  snoozing in a cradle at our home when she was just twenty one days old!! 

When I found out I was pregnant the first time, I wanted to give my parents  "the news" in a fun way-----so I called them and told my dad he needed to start making a baby cradle.  It didn't take him too long to figure out what I was trying to tell him.   I meant my way of sharing the exciting news as a joke, but my dad decided to surprise me with a cradle he had created.  He spent hours and hours working on the cradle---he made it from walnut.  I was so surprised and thrilled when he and mom brought it to our house several months later!  It was just the best gift I could have received and it is now a family heirloom.

Well, our grand girl's daddy slept in that very cradle.  Even though my dad wasn't alive to see his great-grand girl take her turn sleeping in his gift, I'm certain he was watching and enjoying every minute!

The little blanket she was wrapped in was also one that wrapped her daddy thirty years earlier!!!   When she visits our house, and it's time for her to go to sleep, she still loves to have that blanket over her.   I tell her how the blanket used to cover her daddy when he was little---she just loves to hear me tell her that.

SO, I will pass this challenge on to the following bloggers!  

.  Dixie of FRENCH LIQUE, TEXAS

.  JOHN DEERE MOM!

.  Kathy of MIMI'S GARDEN

.  Nola of ALAMO NORTH

.  Curtiss Ann of PRESSING ON

.  Jean of THE DAISY CHAIN

          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you Debbie of, THERE'S AN ANGEL ON MY FRONT PORCH,
for recently sending this wonderful Friendship Award along to me with the instructions to share it with my blogging friends.  I pass this on to all of you I visit or who visit me on a regular basis!   Thanks to all of you special "cyber friends" for the enjoyment you add to my life!!!


             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Donna of PARTY WISHES, was so sweet!  She saw these cute bunny socks and thought of ME!!!

Thank you, Donna!  I love them and so does THE STONE RABBIT!   He wanted me to tell you that he is really quite fond of Pink Rabbits!!! :)
