Thanks, all of you - you're the BEST! :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:
Yes, Julia - a complete Luddite, that's me - I'm only happy that I can manage emails - Jeremy can explain other computer stuff over and over, but it really does go in one ear and straight out the other.
Unfortunately, I won't be at the show - we tend not to plan any trips in winter, as we can be,  and have been   snowed in before.......plus, as of a couple of weeks back, we are saving all our pennies for next August - our BIG adventure - we are going to N. Minnesota to participate in a black bear field study! :dance:  :dance:  :dance:   This really will be a dream come true for me - can't tell you how excited I am about it.

Hiya
here's my bears.........think I have to explain the first group , for those of you not familiar with the Icanhascheezburger site. They  were inspired by the "Lolrus saga" - it all started with a pic of a rather unhappy looking walrus, and his keeper who was taking away a BLUE bucket - and the caption was something like "he stole my bukkit". The story took off from there and a lot of really funny captioned pics followed..........and I just had to do my take on the story - hence "You guys seen my bukkit?" And the hardest part? Finding the right-sized bukkit....

And here's the second - "Bare-faced cheek".........

BIG thankyou, Peter, Katy, Yvonne , Marilyn and Chrissie :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug: !
And if you're interested, Peter and Chrissie, you can read about the field course on www.bearstudy.org   and www.bear.org/website         - it is going to be AWESOME, and with any luck, Peter, we will get to feed the bears! But oh boy, it just seems such a long time till August!
