Finally, a new internet router and booster later, we are ready to celebrate!
Not that cats need an independence day -- they are quite independent without any flowery documents proclaiming so. Actually, cats have no objection to royalty, as long as they're it.
I do assure you, however, that this is merely sparkling sardine juice, and all feline use of fireworks is being carefully, and humanly, supervised. I'm sure it is at your house, too.
So, let's party:

And here at Watermark we have The Carnival is Coming!, She's late, and More delay. *Sigh* I thank you all for your patience, and I've learned my lesson. I thought I was practiced enough at this to not start a few days early, and of course this is the time everything went wrong. It won't happen again, I promise.
Please let me know if I've missed anyone -- it's likely to have happened this time, since there were several attempts to post that seemed successful, and then were not.
Next week's Carnival will be at Music and Cats .

As always, well done.
And you might want to take a break before the next one... make sure the connection's working on the weekends for a few weeks. ;)

Thanks for doing the carnival! It sounds like it was a total pain. You did a great job.

This time, it was a pain. Usually, though, it's fun. I really like doing it, and I'm glad Laurence takes on the more difficult organizing tasks for this brainchild of his.
Which just keeps growing and growing and growing...
