My last two weeks have been full of decisions, and full of change. Some of the decisions were relatively easy to make, some came only after lots of thought. I look at them all like investments in my future, no matter how insignificant they may actually be. One of the most exciting changes effects how…
DetailsYesterday was a busy day. It started early with a trip to the veterinarian with one of our kitties, Eli. About a week ago I noticed a scab on his belly. It seemed like overnight it was swelled up with infection. Eli was uncharacteristically grumpy about being touched; he expressed his feelings about being handled…
DetailsWhat’s Up With These Cats Eli’s belly is healing up nicely. Within 2 days of getting a shot of antibiotics from the vet, the infection was greatly reduced and he was feeling playful; I am so happy. Prissy’s eyelid took a while to heal, but most of the hair has grown back and you can…
DetailsThis past week started off really great. We worked hard on Saturday because on Sunday we were planning dinner with our kids. It was the Easter dinner we were supposed to have the week before but my husband had gotten a bad cold. We had a big feast of barbeque lamb, smoked chicken, mashed potatoes…

DetailsI have so much to say, I don’t even know where to begin. In my last post, I told you that my husband and I were going camping at a state park nearby. Despite the weather forecast for storms, we did indeed go camping. We stayed in a screened-in shelter that was right on the…
DetailsIt’s really hard to complain about the weather this year. Winter was mild and spring couldn’t wait to start. The trees bloomed early, the grass turned green, and everything came up in the garden in March. We definitely didn’t get the rain we expected so I am glad that I had my sprinkler systems in…
DetailsLast week was really nice. I took some time off of work to celebrate my wedding anniversary. The week before our anniversary flew by, then we took Friday and Monday off work to make a long weekend. We tried to work hard the week before our anniversary so that we could truly relax and enjoy…
DetailsTexas weather is known to be unpredictable. Spring, winter, and fall can have some unseasonable temperatures. Forecasts can change from hour to hour. But what has always been said about summer—it’s hot and humid, and doesn’t rain. Once June arrives, you can forget about rain until September (unless a hurricane makes landfall on the Texas…
