I have had at least one cat around for most of my life. Many were house cats, because I lived in the suburbs. They’ve been neutered males, they’ve been spayed females, and I’ve even had a couple of tomcats. Long hair, short hair, short tail, blue-eyed, Siamese looking, you name it, I’ve had quite the…
This past Sunday my oldest brother, my sister and her fiancé came into town. It has become an annual trip for them to visit our mother, who lives with me and my husband. I really am just getting to know them due to the fact that we didn’t grow up together or live near one…

If you are wondering what happened to last week’s blog, I have much to tell you. The last two weeks have been busy and contained a mixture of emotions. I just got back from some training in Oklahoma. I was sent there by my other job to learn about new equipment that we will be…
This week has really zoomed by. I stayed busy every day trying to get things done so I could cross them off my list. Lists! Oh, I love my lists. I would be so disorganized without my lists. To-do lists, shopping lists, things to pack lists–if I don’t want to forget something I will make…
Last week, I gave you a brief overview of the animals that live with us. Today, I want to tell you a little more about each one. Pet owners know that each animal is an individual, with a unique personality. Mine are certainly no exception. Most of them have been adopted from a shelter or…
