So, now I have my rainbow murrini (not all pictured here) …
Wow – this elbow thing hurts! The mutant limb aches from my thumb up to my bicep … So – it MUST be healing … RIGHT?!? Grrrr … A measly few items from the studio to share, as I have spent much more time with the Netflix, AMC and History channels … I am SOOO …

Had our weekly photo-shoot. Sienna’s boys are showing signs of being ready for more sustenance (weaning). Zonie’s babies have opened their eyes. We have folks calling and visiting regularly – which means the maid is working double duty, but hey … it’s all good. Look at all that squishy-love! Have squeezed out a few …
