Pretty near to Halloween…
Whew. End of October, that sure was quick. Last week I was cleared by my surgeon so I can lug 10-pound weights around, or any of our cats. Except Lemon Drop, who hates being picked up. Anywho...here's a little bit of September. Waaaay back in September...I went running and saw several deer in the field, one of them a buck with pretty big antlers. Ha ha, tiny Princess Leia peeking down at me from the top of the stairs. She really likes to hide and play and race around and scamper up and down the stairs.

Sunset Hill Views Air B&B, Seattle
As I mentioned previously (or maybe I didn't), I'm slightly (or maybe more than that) overwhelmed by the huge number of videos/photos I took of Mom and my trip to Seattle earlier in the month. This...
So Many Things

So much has happened in just a week…
...and the most important thing is that there was a Harley sighting!!! Last Sunday I spent a great deal of time creating an eye-catching lost cat flyer and changing it around a lot making many...
Spring, so much going on, mostly cat-related…
It has been a crazy month. Hard to believe that April is almost here. On February 18th I wrote about our attempts to capture one of Wanda's outdoor kitties, Harley. His brother, Pumpkin, had been...
Stuff way back in January…
