Happy 90TH Birthday, Mom!
Today is Mom's BIG DAY!!! Whoo hoo, she's doing so awesome as she starts her 9th decade. Much, much merriment, including a delicious fish dinner that Kevin prepared last night (a very historic event, indeed); we took the food over and ate at Mom's house, also kind of historic, and then the three of us watched two more episodes of "All Creatures Great and Small" which Kevin and I are highly addicted to now. Mom has always liked it. We just went out to lunch to Lime Street, and we'll go to dinner tomorrow night, and the celebrations continue... Here are a bunch of random photos throughout the...

January, mostly cat-related,

Christmas, Looming!
Oh boy. Because I had a cold a little over a week ago I got waaaayyyyy behind in my xmas preparations. And because I had a cold, I had Afib in the night. Sickness brings it on. That was the 14th....
Last day in Chicago, plus more from November
As December marches on...here a few photos from when I went jogging on our last day in Chicago. This time I wanted to go on the Lake Shore trail, even though I didn't have a lot of time to go very...
Second Day in Chicago…
...But really, Christmas is creeping up in such an alarming rate... Anyway, on our second day in Chicago, way back in November, I got in 23,149 steps for the day. Too many steps, IMO. We started the...
Chicago!
Randy and I took the train up to Chicago on Nov. 7th. Not to see a show, just to go to Chicago. But first - occasionally, Spot lies inside the top little room near the top of the fabulous kitty...
Thanksgiving right now, really?
So, Mrs. Hughes, are you going to start just posting here on every holiday? Like the movie "Holiday Inn," with Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire, one of my favorites except that they do put on black face...
