MY fault. I wished I had opened this before. Would love to have acorns. Anyway, I just read about your bunnies: 'two precious & adorable bunnies who were bunny buddies: our beloved Holland Lop Cuddles, who passed away @ the vet @ 5:30 pm on 3/10/14 after 12 years & our beloved Mini Lop Scout, who lived 13 mos. 5 days & 2 hours after Cuddles died, passed away @ home on 4/15/15 @ 7:30 pm was 13 yrs.' Real best friends--they lived a long time, your house must feel empty without them, although it has been almost 3 years ago after Mini Lop Scout. Did you get new friends?

@tantefrancine Francine,

Here's 20 acorns.

No, we didn't get any more bunnies and we're not going to. Thanks for thinking about our fur babies. They're in our hearts and thoughts every day. They're on our desk top computer main page (avatar photo) and on our computer screen saver.

@Marilyn -- I've been trying to toss acorns at some of the late comers but my stash is running a little low. If you still have a lot of acorns squirreled away, could you toss me some so I can toss at some of those late requests? (I have my tickets and not needing to buy more. Just wanting to play Santa or maybe the Easter bunny.)

thx
