Floyd and Tarzan are spending quality time together more and more. Tarzan appears to be mentoring Floyd. Save

The kittens are maturing. When they strut through the house, they carry their tails proudly. Floyd still has clodhopper feet, but his body is nicely muscled and he will grow into it (I hope so, because right now, he’s in a fascinating out-of-proportion teenager stage). He’s still the confident, outgoing … Continue reading →
Tech Stuff: MacJournal
In January, I mentioned I chose MacJournal6 as a new electronic journaling application. I’ve been using it every day since January 1st. It has iPad and iPhone apps, but I have not tried them. I prefer to do my journaling from a full size keyboard. While I have a Bluetooth … Continue reading →

Mr. L picked his new tuba up from the repair shop where he had the leaks fixed. He brought it back to Central Texas and placed in on the floor in the parlor. The cats, of course, had to investigate. First, Delta had to check it for sleeping fit: … Continue reading →
Cats: Where They Stand

Cats: The Big Cats
We went out of town for the weekend. When we got back home, I discovered I hadn’t gotten the parlor door all the way shut, so kitties had the run of the house. They must have had a good time, judging from the mess. I had an open package of … Continue reading →
Tech Stuff: Twitter
I know people who see no reason to use Twitter. The common statement is, “Why would I want to read about someone telling me when they go to the bathroom?” The answer, of course, is, you wouldn’t. If you’re tweeting about that, you’re liable to have some very dodgy followers … Continue reading →
February Property Update
The last month has flown by. What’s been happening with the properties this month? We’ve done nothing at either the ranch or the store. There were plans for the San Antonio house, but they were overcome by events. I’ve been doing yard work at the Central Texas house. I find … Continue reading →

I collect thumbprint glass. My preferred collectable is Bakewell and Pears from the mid to late 1860s. I started my collection with a glass that caught my eye in a Maryland Eastern Shore junk shop. I paid $1.50 for the glass. Generally, any non chipped piece of Bakewell and Pears … Continue reading →
