It's certainly cute. They're not native to there?
I'm not sure if you've been given a proper welcome to the CDR, but let me take this opportunity to do it anyway. We’re a bunch of international friends coming together to goof around, chat, and support each other. We were also famously described as “nut jobs” by a moderator (and she's also a roommate, so she would know;))... but let’s omit that and get cracking with the introduction. :cool:

You’re very welcome here! Grab an armadillo to sit on. One-Legged Pirate should be over shortly with a beverage of your choice. Unless he’s working overtime in our bar, The Drunken Penguin. Speaking of penguins, we have two — Silly and Willy. Be nice to them, because @Bee62 can be very protective of them. Don’t worry if you run into the Snow Leopard — she only eats carrots. The only scary thing around here is the Wool Spider (if she exists). But do try not to step on a hedgehog in the dark, and prod the jellyfish if you need more light. Btw, I'm Lena, as of now -- in Canada.

Hey guys!!

Nothing really going on here. Daughter sprained her ankle really bad and is out of soccer for now.
My son is driving and it scares the crap out of me!
He did his first freeway driving over the weekend and it was about 30 miles and 3 different freeways.
I know I have few more grey hairs!

I made chocolate chip banana bread this morning.
Can you smell it?

That looks really yummy. I hope the sprain heals quickly and once your son has been driving for a while I am sure you will relax a bit. Nice to not see you Kathy!

I’m pretty sure that this is Gracie in my dog pen.
For those of you who don’t know, Gracie was an orphan fawn I had rehabbed last year. She was never a captive deer. I bottle fed her for a couple months and she stayed freely until one day she didn’t:) She was a year old this past May. She’s come back to visit a few times and I can always tell her from the other deer visitors because she comes into the yard while the others hang back in my pasture. She brought friends with her and I spotted them bedded down on my beach area last night. One of the others followed her into the dog yard but stayed by the fence. She came on up and greeted her canine siblings and they knew her:) As a fawn, she played chase with them. I think dove season has them taking advantage of my safe haven!
You don't need a zoo or animal sanctuary!! YOU already have one.

You too and I'll be thinking and praying for a good outcome for the humanitarian efforts also. My friend from North Carolina texted today and she's ok. She also sent belated birthday wishes and actually apologized for not calling. I told her we are friends for life. When we can talk we talk. Her son moved to a city closer to me recently. We will get to see each other personally at some point in time... Friendship for about 40 years. We keep somehow finding each other.
That is such a sweet story.

Oh, donut tease me, please! I’m very jealous. [emoji16]
Speaking of donuts a Crispy Cream just opened up here in Cape Town and apparently the queue is insane. I just went on a healthy eating plan, so maybe by the time I can maybe try one, the queue won't be so long anymore..

Welcome to the COLD DARK ROOMS - WHaaaahaaaahaaa (That is meant to sound ominous)
I am Carol from Cape Town South Africa. And what ever you do, don't let the leprechaun , meerkats and ghost shrimp reel you in on their nonsense and shenanigans! You will regret it and most definitly do not lend any money to the Leprechaun, you will never see it again.
