Cats
This morning I decided to get gas in the car, go to the bank to close our account, and stop at the post office for our mail. In a few days, we will actually have mail delivered to our house–for the first time in… Continue Reading “Cats”
Little Bear & Danny
Yesterday it snowed off and on through the day. The falling snow looked like a snow globe. The snow did not stick on the ground. Today I didn’t see any snow, but it’s been a bit cold. I wore my winter coat, hat, and… Continue Reading “Little Bear & Danny”
Possibilities
We are making good progress packing up the house. All the rooms, closets, and drawers are nearly empty except for the kitchen and bathroom. I am leaving those for last. After that I will have to work on the back porch and basement. I’m… Continue Reading “Possibilities”
Pet Scans
It seems to me that whenever I am going to have a busy day that starts early, I don’t sleep well. I think the cats woke me several times in the night and then about 5 or 5:30 a.m. Luke sat above my head… Continue Reading “Pet Scans”
Accidental Fireworks
It’s looking more and more like winter here in Michigan. We now have several inches of snow–maybe five inches where we live. As usual, areas closer to Lake Michigan have more snow because of “lake-effect snow.” Lake effect snow is “snow falling on the… Continue Reading “Accidental Fireworks”
Clever Cats
After an unseasonable warm November and December, we finally are getting wintry weather. Last weekend we had a little freezing rain. It was just enough to make the roads a bit slick but not enough to cause major problems. Since then we have gotten… Continue Reading “Clever Cats”
Thanksgiving Plans
Well, we survived the rain and the wind without any loss of power. Today the weather was much quieter. And colder. With a few snowflakes. I enjoyed a few hours of quiet this morning while my guys slept. I made a pot of coffee,… Continue Reading “Thanksgiving Plans”
Number 9
We woke up late this morning. Well, it’s not all that late since these days I am often still up at midnight, or 1 a.m., or 2 a.m. I’m actually more of a morning person, but we often can’t sleep. Sometimes I wonder if… Continue Reading “Number 9”
Haircuts!
JJ had been urging me to make him an appointment to get his hair cut, so I finally did. As usual, I made an appointment for me as well. It saves time and trips that way. I haven’t had my hair cut since May… Continue Reading “Haircuts!”
Misty November
Yesterday as Danny and I were nearing the end of our walk, about a block away from home, I saw our cat Rikki-Tikki-Tabby walking down the sidewalk toward us. When he reached us, I picked him up and gave him lovings as we continued… Continue Reading “Misty November”
Mouse-capades
Last weekend–from Friday to Sunday–we have had FIVE mice in the house. That is the most mice we have ever had in our house in such a short time. Usually there are weeks or months between mouse sightings and killings. I already wrote about… Continue Reading “Mouse-capades”
Really, Most Sincerely Dead
This morning, after I had drank (drunk?) one cup of coffee (or maybe two), I got dressed and then went to the grocery store in the next town over. On the way home, I stopped at the grain elevator at the end of our… Continue Reading “Really, Most Sincerely Dead”
The Musical Annie
This post is about the musical Annie. It’s not about Annie, the delightful Broadway musical, but about our cat named Annie who has the most musical meow that I have ever heard. We adopted Annie from a yard sale years ago. A cat had had kittens… Continue Reading “The Musical Annie”
Cloudy, Windy Days
When Danny sees EJ preparing to leave for work, he perks up and starts watching me intently. If I put on my shoes then he gets excited because he knows it’s time for his walk. Usually I don’t start preparing for our walk until… Continue Reading “Cloudy, Windy Days”
Color Me Autumn
I usually wait up for EJ to get home from work and we talk for a while before I go to bed. Last night he texted me that he had to work late and didn’t know when he would get home so I went… Continue Reading “Color Me Autumn”
