With a heavy heart, I report Millie is no longer with us. I don’t know what happened. She went outside this morning and went under the porch steps — one of her favorite places to hang out. But she didn’t come out again. I checked on her tonight when I … Continue reading →
This month’s Merry-Go-Round Blog Tour topic is a self interview. Right. I’ve browsed Google* and have come up with a few completely unanswerable questions, and I will attempt, before your very eyes, to answer them. You will think they are simple, but the words are deceptive. How long does it … Continue reading →
Very pleased with today’s progress. I’m starting to make up ground for Backward Nano. I’m only a day and a half behind after today’s efforts. Only 18,553 words to go. All the cats that wanted outside time today got it.
Continue reading →Posting late, because my site host had an unexpected outage last night, knocking all my sites off line. They’re back this morning, so here we are. I made it to a cumulative total of 23,505 words last night. My goal (to be on time for Backward NaNo) was 25,889. I’m … Continue reading →
Four days down. My cumulative total is 12, 653. That means I have 37,347 words to go. Today, I learned my narrator’s wife-to-be is trying to avoid an arranged marriage–and not to my narrator. Sounds a little tricky, doesn’t it? This is my Central Texas workspace: The Mini is under … Continue reading →

This moment should have told me all I ever needed to know about this cat: Three Cat leading the way in checking out the area outside the box. And her brother Four Cat was right behind her. Three Cat became Lady, and Four Cat became Tarzan — the two kittens … Continue reading →
Yes, I’m still here. But I caught you looking. Some of you have been dropping by just to see if maybe I was gone for good. (Admit it. You wondered.) God’s not done with me yet. Hubby’s back in San Antonio, dragging soaker hoses to keep the grass alive, painting … Continue reading →
What’s been happening in our neck of the woods? I’ve been pretty quiet, and, frankly, I haven’t really been busy enough to warrant the silence. But I haven’t been doing much that’s noteworthy. Just in case you were wondering, here goes (in no particular order): – Hubby and I got … Continue reading →
Hubby and I observed something surprising the other day. I know I’ve mentioned that Natasha isn’t fond of Ajax in these spaces before. She’s more tolerance of the kittens. The kittens get along with both Natasha and Ajax (and of course, each other). Ajax enjoys “tweaking” Natasha by violating her … Continue reading →
