Another sunset in paradise…
Friday evening, Feb. 28th, we'd left the beach for a bit to cruise the shopping in Venice one more time, and afterwards drove down to the end of our beach for a different vantage point. Plenty of people were parked in the lot across the street and clearly they wanted to watch the sun set while imbibing. It looked like a tailgate party. That's all well and good, but the thing about that is that you're not right there on the beach, and that's where I have to be when at the beach. I need to be on the beach. This is my favorite photo, with the sun, the bird, the waves. We decided to go back to...

February Cats, mostly of the orange variety
Mom and I ventured down to sunny Florida last week and of course I took a million and one photos, mostly of the sunset on the beach and birds on the beach and the waves and all. Plus photos on MOM'S...
St. Louis Canyon at Starved Rock
We hiked to the St. Louis Canyon on our third and final day at the park. But first, here's a photo of the lodge lobby. It's very rustic. This hike is nice because it's near the cabins so very quick...
Starved Rock, Day Two
They had a special winter promotion at the lodge, a reduced rate plus a $15 dollar coupon for breakfast for breakfast both mornings, so that was nice. We started our day with a delicious lodge...
Starved Rock
Kevin and I took a trip, yaaay for that! A short one, two nights, to Starved Rock, where we'd gone to in Nov. 2023. This time, though, BEV WAS BACK to watch over our very very large herd of cats....
Really Wrapping up January…
Finally, finally, getting out of January - here's sweet little Sweetie, enjoying a sunbeam. I finally hung the xmas lights around the perimeter of the garage, and they make me very happy, indeed....
The Last of the First Month…
Let's get onto April already, or better yet, May! I'm realizing that there are too many photos to post right now, so this isn't actually the last of the first month, it's the second to last. In the...
Marching on through the Wintertime
Although it's supposed to be in the 60s today, whoo hoo for that! But it's a one-day-only kind of thing. Oh well. We'll take what we can get. Also I have a ridiculous amount of stuff to accomplish...
More from January, almost exclusively Riley
Here's Riley on Jan. 4th. I feel like he hadn't been sitting in so many funny positions before, or maybe I just never paid enough attention, which is always a good possibility with me since I...
January, mostly cat-related,
Because that's what I'm all about, aren't I? A Complete Crazy Old Cat Lady. But there it is. Anyway, earlier in the month I suggested to Kevin that we see how it'd be if we gave Pumpkin to Mom. I'd...
