Good morning all. Monday again.
The table placemats are made by Thornback & Peel - available from various outlets - we were given them for Christmas a couple of years ago.
There are (were?) a range of products with the same tortoise design on.
I'll join a card exchange

Good morning, John! Good morning, Linda! Good morning anyone else awake out there!
Good evening CDRommers! Pretty night here illuminated by either full or almost full moon. I wish i could go to bed but having lots of documentation to catch up on. Sorry for falling off the face of the earth. I guess "life has happened" and took me by surprise. I have not forgotten my Forum Friends and thought of you guys, there just has not been a quiet moment to get on here and just BE! Just enjoy chatting with friends, talking torts... I want to thank Ed for reaching out to check on me. It is so comforting to know there are so many friendly souls out there I can connect with. I still have the babies, Shellie and Tucker, my daughter's tortoise novelty wore off as I knew it would and I'm just trying to reignite that longterm commitment to her pets as gently as i can without being a nag which I know I can sound like at times of increased frustration. Our babies are "babies" no more! They are juveniles! Shellie over 6 and Tucker over 5 inches. Shellie weighs almost 2 lbs and Tucker almost 1.5 lb. They are beginning to do what most of "normal torts" do- eat like a garbage disposal i'm still chopping their food most of the times and watching them eat when i can, but not nearly as neurotically as I had done for well over a year. They look and act very healthy and solid! Like not-so -little anymore - Rocks! We still bathe them almost daily and take them outside. They don't live in their garden yet full time. I haven't been able to get their winter heated house built for them and now the temps drop to 60, and even 50's at night, daytime is mostly 70's... to chilly for my comfort. I'll have to ache through this winter with them indoors and come next fall, they'll have their heated house and garden will have been well established. Plus they are still little. 6 inches of a "2lb rock" is not that much for a predator. Yesterday I saw a huge, gorgeous redtail hawk sitting on the branch of one of my live oak trees. Shellie is taking a funny shape of an elongated big dark dumpling, and Tucker is growing more dark streaks on his white which make him look overall darker. Bummer! For a while he was getting lots of that white perlescent growth. It was lovely but he still is very pretty, and he EATS! Boy, does he ever eat! I'm loving it! Lets see what else, i got couple of very young kittens for my boys' belated 9th birthday present. They are persian/ragdoll mix, a boy and a girl, littermates. Born on 7/17 of this year. They are both orange and absolutely adorable! Of course my husband wants to divorce me over getting those kittens... oh well! He is still looking for work. Unsuccessfully. Since February... i feel for him, but life goes on! It has to! The kids are growing and with them grow their needs. I got a new job which has me so busy with lots of "busy work" documentation which i absolutely despise, but I, unlike my other Half, do what has to be done. My "other half" doesn't adjust very well to the everchanging conditions of the reality around us. He expects the reality to adjust to his demands... and as we know, that doesn't work very well... so there you have it! 
here are the kittens, the boy's name is Sunkiss, we call him Sunny. The girl's name is Starburst, we call her Hunny, she is sweet as honey and their eyes are the color of honey or light amber. Just beautiful!!!
here's Tucker few wks ago 
and our sweet Shellie, getting bumpy, like "wrinkles" in her shell, i don't think it's the pyramiding, their bedroom has been kept at 90% humidity. 
Shellie looks like a gigantic pillbug they love theif bath water to be deep, always walking to the deeper end of the tub. 
here you can see those dark streaks he's been growing, kinda like an ink bleeding into his growth plates
here is my tortoiseshell old girl kitty named Toffi, 
and my big baby boy Maine Coon named Maxi.
here are my boys: Adam and Konrad. I pulled them out of school earlier that day to present them with their belated gift. You should have seen their reaction. Priceless!
and here is my pride and joy, my 11.5 yr old daughter Sophie. She started taking harp this fall and was already playing solo with the school orchestra. I cried tears of joy. She is playing beautifully! Getting into the harp, i had no idea how expensive those instruments are! You can buy a brand new luxury car for the price of a good harp! But! We'll figure it out! My living room will one day be complete with a nice probably used/refurbished harp. For now, there is a baby grandpiano, drum set, 2 acustic guitars and 1 electric... harp will be a must i think that's all. Sorry for the long post, but I don't know when I'm going to be back. Please say hi to all forum friends for me. I miss yoo guys, and will be back at some point. I can be always reached by email, or text, or "what's app". I'll have to look up my work email as my private account doesn't get much use lately. Work is one I use a lot more. I'm not sure if i'm allowed to put my contact info on the forum but have seen people say they do that via PM's so if anyone ever needs to reach me please pm or Ed has my cell phone # and will share with friends. So long Everyone

Hello again. It's good to hear from youGood evening CDRommers! Pretty night here illuminated by either full or almost full moon. I wish i could go to bed but having lots of documentation to catch up on. Sorry for falling off the face of the earth. I guess "life has happened" and took me by surprise. I have not forgotten my Forum Friends and thought of you guys, there just has not been a quiet moment to get on here and just BE! Just enjoy chatting with friends, talking torts... I want to thank Ed for reaching out to check on me. It is so comforting to know there are so many friendly souls out there I can connect with. I still have the babies, Shellie and Tucker, my daughter's tortoise novelty wore off as I knew it would and I'm just trying to reignite that longterm commitment to her pets as gently as i can without being a nag which I know I can sound like at times of increased frustration. Our babies are "babies" no more! They are juveniles! Shellie over 6 and Tucker over 5 inches. Shellie weighs almost 2 lbs and Tucker almost 1.5 lb. They are beginning to do what most of "normal torts" do- eat like a garbage disposal
It's a wonder you have time for anything. The pictures of your animals and children are lovely!
Pop back for a chat from time to time when you get a minute.
Morning all
I'm glad to see peeps slowly joining the ranks again, myself included
I'm off to Work, as peak season is creeping in which means my employer is bringing me earlier Yay!
Have fun loves!
