Happy July to you all! ( Although, officially this is only June 30th)
On The Home front. . . .
I have really been enjoying the family time this month, and it seems to have been a month for acquiring more family members. We have added to our household: 2 Iguanas - Oscar & Olli, a bunch of fish, and as of Wednesday, a new puppy. He's probably mostly Shepard around 8 weeks old, and today his name is Darwin - his name has been changing quite a bit. We seem to be on the receiving side of lots of love (and licks, and ankle bites. . .) these days.
My daughter, Casey leaves Australia tomorrow and I am looking forward to hearing all her adventures. She did get a chance to send us an email from an animal sanctuary, and she is holding a Koala. She says they are incredibly soft. If you want to see the picture, and check out all the cool places she stayed, you can go to www.kimbuchanan.com/Casey.htm

PLEASE CHECK OUT . . . . .
I was told yesterday that I was going to be featured on JavaMusic on July 1st. I will be "House Blends" front page, top page showcase.
It offers downloads of my music, and if you will go to the site, and download my songs, that can push me into their weekly top ten, and that's good exposure. Thanks

Other Ways you can feel good about yourself. . .
It takes less than a minute to go to The Breast Cancer Site & click on "donating a mammogram" for free - their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits
to donate a mammogram in exchange for advertising. Here's the website:

ALSO. . . the USPS has a stamp that costs a few cents more, but is a wonderful way to support cancer research. Just ask your post office for the Cancer Stamp.

I hope you all have a wonderful July 4th!
