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 →
Right around this time thirty-one years ago today — May 28, 1980 — I was boarding a plane in Hartford, Connecticut, bound for San Antonio, Texas, (with a plane change in Atlanta) to report to United States Air Force Basic Military Training. I’d graduated from Beaver Local High School in … 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 →
Today was devoted to ranch work. We loaded up the little utility trailer with something like 25 buckets of rocks, various tree trimming equipment, a post puller, the barbed wire pliers, a cooler of beverages, and Millie. The rocks were for laying the the road tracks to reinforce the road. … Continue reading →

Yes, I sound pretty annoyed lately. I’m not quite as annoyed or frustrated as it might sound, but if these things are bothering me, they may bother one of you some day soon — or maybe it already is bothering you. I will say this: I should have emailed Easy … Continue reading →
I probably haven’t mentioned my strong distaste for iTunes’ draconian presumptions about how I want to manage syncing my iDevices. I presume the presumption that data must only flow one way — especially with respect to music, video, books, etc — is based entirely on the presumption that if people … Continue reading →
Hubby and I bought our wedding rings at a Montgomery Mall jewelry store shortly before our wedding in 1994. They are a white gold outer band and yellow gold inner band. Mine has been spinning on the band since shortly after we got it. This year, my two bands separated … 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 →
