I snapped this shot of some ominous-looking storm clouds last week, but nothing materialized locally:

We’re changing our approach with Rossie. The condensed version of what we have been doing is corraling Lady and Daphne each night and putting them to bed in a large cage complete with litter box, water, scratching box, toys, carrier to hide in or sleep on top of. Then we … Continue reading →
MGR Tour: Beach Reads!
Howdy! Welcome to the June Merry-Go-Round Blog Tour. We’re talking Beach Reads this month. I’m not heading to the beach this summer, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have a perilously tall TBR pile. I’m currently reading something decidedly un-beach-like on my Kindle. John Taylor Gatto’s Dumbing Us Down: The … Continue reading →
June Property Update
Better late than never. For various reasons, it seems like it’s been a busy month. Let’s see how it looks here. San Antonio House: Mr. L went down for a couple of weeks and took care of the yard, replaced a bad board, fixed a window sill, primed and painted, … Continue reading →
Photos: The Trap
I’m trying to trap Boomer. No luck so far. Here are some trap antics that have ensued in the process: Junior readily entered the trap and was surprised when he got caught. I foolishly attempted to transfer him to a carrier, and he escaped. He came back to eat Fancy … Continue reading →

Photo: High School Memories
Here are a few high school memories. These photos are not mine. They were taken by alumni from my high school who were able to attend the open house held prior to ripping out anything of value from the building and auctioning it off prior to demolition. The school district … Continue reading →
Cats: Current Status
We don’t have much new on the cats. If you’re keeping count at home, we have seven indoor cats and four outdoor cats (along with a few feline visitors, an opossum visitor, and a raccoon visitor, based upon game camera sightings). Indoor Cats: Ajax has been extraordinarily needy lately, but … Continue reading →
Wednesday Wanderings: 6 Weeks of New Knee
Tuesday was six weeks since my knee was replaced. Overall, I’m quite pleased. Yesterday and today, I’m a little achy with lower back pain — not sure if it’s related or not. I’ve been blessed with physical therapists who all have said, “If it hurts, don’t do it.” The tight … Continue reading →
