Thanks

A sincere and heartfelt thank you from both Greg and I. Thank you for putting up with my glitchiness and well, I’m in full admiration of Greg’s organizational and professional skills. The dog of course extended his opinion and now is lounging about as if he wasn’t a pain in the butt. The cat promptly threw up the rose leaf she’d munched on and then asked for dinner. Ah the glorious life I lead.

That being said… thank you. Truly and deeply, thanks to all of you for being there…and being here. We are nothing without you. I’ll have you know. Your support and good wishes carry us forward every step of the way and in all of this, I hope we… Greg and I… keep you company on the days when perhaps you need a bit of cheer, a bit of tears and a whole hell of a lot of love. So please take with you our deepest gratitude.

And a few prizes….

Here are the winners of the whirlwind ride we took on the thingmahopper earlier today! I will be reaching out to people via email from comments but if you are a winner and would like to email me, that would be great. Email me at rhysford (at) vitaenoir (dot) com.
