It’s a drippy day as we prepare to say goodbye to 2012 and hello to 2013. Heading to lunch in about an hour for the final time at La Posada del Rey, our long-time favorite Mexican restaurant. They are closing their doors today. Save
Continue reading →I updated my notes on the four ferals last night, and I realized they’ve been in my care for four weeks. Pretty Boy Foyd, Delta, and Ruby are all socializing pretty well. They are avoiding us less and are easier to catch when we want to catch them. Normally, I … Continue reading →
There was a time when color laser printers were prohibitively expensive. As with ink jet printers, prices have been dropping on color laser printers in recent years. Hubby and I have three color laser printers. How on earth did this come to pass? Hubby publishes a kerosene lantern newsletter, which … Continue reading →
Floyd and Delta are waiting for Santa. Floyd, Delta, Rossie, Ruby, Natasha, Tarzan, Lady, and Ajax join Alan and me in wishing you a joyous Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Save

I’m not sure what the kittens weighed when I trapped them. Ruby (the obvious smallest) and Delta (not sure if she or Floyd is larger, but it’s probably Floyd) volunteered to be weighed today. I used the subtraction method. The scale we have here measures in half-pound increments, so there’s … Continue reading →
This week’s kitty progress: None of the kittens seek us out, but they are all easier to catch (in an enclosed space–all bets are off if they get outside). They all purr when I hold them. Rossie was the last hold out, and she started yesterday. Ruby. She’s generally the … Continue reading →
We’re redoing the drainage system from the roof at the shop. In the process, we have the ongoing archeological dig as we create small canals to channel water coming down the downspouts from behind the building to the street. I’ll show pictures of what we’re doing on the Property Update … Continue reading →
