Hello from the Toymaker

Happy September to Old Friends and New!

"Sometimes life gives you little bumps in the road." ~ My Mom

If you haven't received an email from me in a while, let me tell you why...

I've been trying to figure out for weeks how to update some code on my email so that this newsletter doesn't go directly into your junk folder. My friend Vanessa kindly sent me a page of instructions explaining exactly how to do it. And I'd stare at it as if I could will the changes into existence just by looking at the instructions. (That did not work) Then I called my friend JR who understands computers and email much better than I do and he sent me another set of instructions that helped get me closer to figuring out what to do.

Then I emailed my service provider and asked them if they could do the code for me and fifteen minutes later it was done. So I guess my point is that it helps to have clever friends and it also is okay to ask for help.

"Cats seem to go on the principle that it never does any harm to ask for what you want.” ~ Joseph Wood Krutch

The Friends House

Cat and Puppy are friends. Here is their little paper house that you can make to play with. It also fits nicely folded into an envelope if you want to mail it to someone or just take it with you when your littles get bored.
