From Joelyne


Thank you, Joelyne
She was so sweet and illustrated on her blog
my first school day I posted a few months ago!


How to take a picture of yourself with auto timer
and a special surprise guest:
A german couple took a picture at Lake Minnetonka
when this cute little gopher appeared in "first row".
Looks like "Hello, I´m your new friend" ;)


"Thank you so much"
for sending me your blog awards!!!
Wishing you all a beautiful day!
Martina

    Good afternoon Martina! I'm home and I made watermelon smoothie for snacks, as usual.

    That's very good drawing of you...you're a very lovely kid! And, style wise, you make red, blue, pink and orange work!

    I've seen that Minnetonka pic in the news So funny! I see rabbits and squirrels every time I walk out here, and I live in downtown Minneapolis! I usually 'call out' to them to my husband's amusement. haha!

    Wishing you a great week, Martina! And thank you for visiting Mango Girl and taking the time to comment.

    Good evening Martina!!

    That is so sweet of Sydney Girl, Joelyne to sketch that! I just visited her blog the other day and she is very talented, not to mention pretty!

    I can't help but notice your love for Disney as a little girl! The Mickey watch and the Donald Duck folder! (Can't make out exactly if it's a folder or a giant cone...)

    Congrats on the blog awards, well-deserved for such a sweet blogger like you!

    (Oh and btw, I have to correct myself with my comment I made on Carrie's site about noticing your comments there too! So sorry about the mixup! =)

    Have a great day tomorrow when you read this!

    Good morning Martina,

    I hope you had a wonderful weekend with plenty of sunshine!
    You look so cute on your first day at school. It's so wonderful for the lovely Joelyne to sketch you...she is such a sweetheart!

    I am still enjoying spending time with the hubby, we definitely needed a break from everything and just have fun in London! :)

    Congrats again on your awards my dear!

    I am sending you lots and lots of hugs and kisses your way.

    Ahh, I remember that picture of you and I already saw this sketch on Joelyne's blog, but I have to say it again... she's so talented! Love it!

    And do you know that gopher picture actually made it to CNN? They had a report about how it's such a phenomenon now, and people are photo-shopping the gopher into all kinds of random pictures. So funny... haha.

    Hope you had a lovely weekend and also Monday! And wishing you a wonderful new week! :)

    Hi Martina. Your comments always mean so much to me. You are just the sweetest person I know. Thank you for being so supportive of my blog and for always leaving comments. I can't tell you enough how much it means to me.

    That picture of you on your first day of school is just absolutely precious. And I love the sketch as well. I can't believe how cute that last photo is. Thanks for sharing it with your readers.

    Martina, thank you again for always coming by and leaving such lovely comments. I always enjoy reading them. I'm very happy to give you the award because you have a great blog and you're also a faithful follower.

    I hope you're having a good week and enjoy the rest of your day. I wonder what the time is in Germany. It's 9:25 am here in Calgary, Canada.

    All the much,
    Carrie
