Last Sunday I get a call from my sister, who was staying up the road with my parents: “There’s somebody here you need to come meet!” she said in a sing-song voice. My first thought was, “Oh, my goodness; they’ve tamed Jim-Bob!” which is the name of a baby rabbit that has been frequenting my […]

how I missed the kitties and their antics
Yesterday was an exciting Kitty Day. Around lunch I noticed the cats getting really interested in the fireplace, which was making a low buzzing sound. “Hmm, must be some bug,” I figured. I couldn’t see anything in there, so I tried to just block it off with a hamper to deter the kitties. This doesn’t […]
tuesday musings
Spring is coming fast here and it’s gonna be April before you know it. I have two weeks left in Auburn before I head on up to Birmingham to begin life anew, yet again. Unfortunately, we’ll still have our house in Auburn to sell — the floor won’t be fixed until next week. So we […]
things renton doesn’t like
Today we found out that Renton doesn’t like the trombone: . . . but Hermione had no problem with it. Cats are so fun.

I’ve got my ticket, do you? __________________________________ It’s getting close to Thanksgiving, too. Thanksgiving is my sister’s favourite holiday, but I view […]
random fact
FACT: A cat will only barf all over your floor if you are completely and absolutely out of paper towels.
adjusting our cats
No worries; I do still exist in the world. All these life change-ups force us to rework our schedules, and I haven’t really found time for the writing thing in a while. Everything should be back to normal once we unpack our last box. We expect this wonderous event to occur sometime this November. _________________________ […]
