On my way to the Hollow
To meet a friend of mine
Her name is Dimity Doormouse
She writes me all the time
There are many here
That speak of where
This little mouse lives
Tucked away in her burrow
She enjoys all that life gives
Love,
Bebe
If you care to visit Bebe's auction on Ebay you will find her here
Thank you so much for your visit.. See you in the Hollow Tell the Mistress of the Manor that Bebe sent you. Jeri Landers is the creator of Dimity Doormouse and an amazing writer and illustrator..You will love her, she is a real peach!
Wonderful! We will keep her very busy, especially with that broom!

Stunning pics. One after another they enchanted me. I could see them in a book!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet,lovely!
ReplyDeleteHugs,Leny
Sweet friend,
ReplyDeleteI was gone all day and night yesterday and missed the heck out of you and BEBE!!!! I SO LOVE THE SOUND OF THE BIRDS HERE MY FRIEND! Oh Penny, last night at the writers' guild, it was so intimidating! But there is more to see and learn and more people to meet. It was our first time and actually for both Ruben and I who are teachers and who are used to STRUCTURE and a plan, the unstructured feel to the evening was a little discouraging and there was some snobbery going on...but there are OTHER gatherings and classes and I want to get down to business. Last night was more of an OPEN DISCUSSION and a sharing time of work and I got some feedback on my BALZAC story. I was told to change the title, which I always thought I should, and I felt so juvenile in the midst of serious writers. BUT I will learn and I must follow my purpose to write and that is to inspire and entertain. I am not and never will be a novelist...and I found out yesterday that I will be sharing in the task of translating our science curriculum. I am not happy about that!
OH DEAR...I must hush. I want to just take in what I can of the sweetness of summer with BEBE and FRIENDS LIKE YOU!!!! Anita
Bebe esta especialmente bonita con ese sombrero y ese trajecito.
ReplyDeleteEs adorable!!
besitos ascension
How sweet Penny love her outfit and that lttle sun bonnet adorable- I agree with Pat- I can such a sweet book printed up one day of Bebe's adventurous life! You touch everyone's heart with this little sweet mouse-Sincerely,Jonny
ReplyDeleteThe Hollow does indeed look a lovely place, Bebe you have a lovely smile today.
ReplyDeleteHave a good time planting your seeds :)
See Yea George xxx
How lovely it was to see you all here this morning. I am on my way over for a visit.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind thoughts.
Oh my sweet friend,
ReplyDeleteI just came home to where I love and live and found your precious comment on my blog. I spent my first day at the workshop in a cold hotel conference room and whenever we had a break, I whipped out my copy of Ted Kooser's Manuel of Poetry Writing! I am in VACATION MODE but I am listening carefully and hope to be ready with the new information come September. AHhhh...the sound of the birds here with Bebe make me happy. I took the cutest picture of a rabbit in my yard; I will send it to you later. Have a fabulous evening and BEBE..has she learned to wrangle the goats yet? teeeheee
Dearest Penny,
ReplyDeleteI am here before but was unable to leave you a note.
I followed babe to the hollow to only be amazed and to have a lot of fun!
I have a feeling that babe will be busy for while...grin!
I loved my little visit to Jeri's, how adorable and creative. Thanks for pointing the right direction to the Hollow.
ReplyDeletePenny, the last I caught a glimpse of Bebe, she was gliding across the pond atop the head of a goosie. I think she is a true country gal at heart, she has taken quite a liking to shucking corn, picking raspberries and betting on crawdad races... did you know about this gambling streak? She must have picked it up while in Monte Carlo. The little gals have promised to finish my embroidery tomorrow as my poor old fingers simply cannot accomplish such delicate stitches as little mice can. Bebe has been entertaining the baby chicks with tales of her high adventures and I am afraid some of them are getting IDEAS. Don't be surprised if you find a fuzzy yellow chick stowaway in her travel trunk!
ReplyDeleteThen the fuzzy little chick can just come on with her to Grammy's House;))
ReplyDeleteSo, yes my dear, keep me posted when she is back on the market and my fingers are crossed on hop along;)). Love. Love. Love. Them!
Thank you for visiting and all your kind words....and pearls of wisdom on moving fatigue...we still have more to do, but the rains came today, so we're enjoying tea and cookies and coziness:))
Hugs,dearest!
Darling! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my dear, I have had Blogger problems with commenting on the "column style" comments, but now appears to be repaired - yay! I saw your lovely Bebe all dressed for the Hollow... I had a wonderful visit with Jeri and her beautiful art and blog!
ReplyDeleteBises,
Genie

My sweet and wonderful Penny,
ReplyDeleteI am so thrilled that our little Bebe has captured a faithful friend such as Christie...I know she will love her and keep her AND YOU close to her heart. AND NOW....we await to see where ELSE BEBE is going! Hmmmmm.....on the same wave length, eh????? ROMAN HOLIDAY FOR BEBE?????? PASTA CHEF? I CAN'T WAIT!!!! HUGS TO YOU MY DEAREST, Anita
OH AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEAR, DEAR COMMENTS! It is not a particularly LONG post, but it took HOURS to gather my thoughts...sheesh!
DANG! Penny, I lost BEBE! I did bid on her, and was going to bid again at last minute, but couldn't get an internet connection in our hotel room. (We are in Nashville doing a show) I am sitting here, outside a MacDonalds typing this, Saturday morning. Oh well, I see she is going to a good home anyway.
ReplyDeleteWell, she flew off this morning via the Crow-Chum Express, flight 002. We will miss her cute little pink face, but she was a most delightful visitor and helped out immensely with all the goings on in the Hollow. Thank you little BEBE, Please come again!
Hello dear friends
ReplyDeleteI wish to thank each one of you for coming along on Bebe's adventure and leaving such kind comments.
Christie... Thank you so much for giving Bebe a loving home! I know she will be loved.
Jeri.... I am sorry you lost her...sigh...
Maybe she will need to make one more visit this summer to the Hollow.. Dimity Doormouse was such a gracious host.. Thank you for your support.
Yes, she will be traveling to a loving home.
Blessing to you all.
Bebe is preparing for her next adventure.
Hope to see you soon.
Penny
