Rescue Puma
Have you seen the GEICO commercial where the couple is trying to save money on their home security system by getting a rescue puma? Then they assure us sleep is over-rated? Well, I have a rescue puma of my own. See?

The Brave Kitty
The storms have moved on, and Wednesday has dawned bright and mostly clear. Lady made her wishes to go outside known. I opened the door, stepped aside, and the stampede commenced. Except for Tarzan. Here he is contemplating whether he should venture out or not: Taking the plunge: … Continue reading →
Just Another Day in Mid-January
There’s a chill in the air. Hubby has a fire in the fireplace, making it cozy in the house. We’re in San Antonio taking care of a few errands. I got the truck serviced in preparation for a trip to Wisconsin in February. I got a much needed hair cut … Continue reading →
Millie, 2004-2012+
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 →
Interview with Me
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 →
NaNo Day 13: 31447

NaNo Day 4: 12653
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 →
RIP: Dazzle, July, 1993 – July, 2011
As you know, we’ve been preparing for this time for a little while. Dazzle had a pleasant morning wandering the back yard. We ran some errands. When we came home, she was gone. Hubby woke up on Saturday morning, September 4, 1993, and knew he had to go to the … Continue reading →
Feline Domination
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 →
