Snoopy, COME Home.....

What is the world coming to? This WAS my prized Christmas Decoration. We put it up last week, last night, probably during the wee hours it was taken from my front yard!!! That is right, stolen!!! Why do kids, most likely, have to go and STEAL Christmas decorations?

Guess my security system needs to be updated!




Needing to re-find my Christmas spirit.......

Here Kitty Kitty!

So, once again, I say why buy expensive cat toys? Here Gizmo is wrapped up in my garland! Corellia and R2-D2 look on.



Where is the red light? Though it doesn't show up in the photo, the cats had great fun chasing a laser light Thanksgiving day. I don't know who had more fun, the cats or us adults watching!




Talus is so pretty! Chris finally found her harness that she had hidden under the spare bed in his apartment!!!

Oh happy day!

Falling For Leaves

Oh how I remember as a kid jumping in BIG leaf piles in the Fall. I loved it! It was a favorite past-time on a Saturday in the surburbs of Chicago. All the kids in the hood would make a huge pile of leafs then we would spend hours jumping in them.

Fast forward 30 years ~ leave it to my kids to figure out a way to make this old time favorite game into a modern day marvel! I was so happy when the kids said they wanted to rake leaves without being asked to, then I found out why!!

Happy Thanksgiving

Hope you have had a blessed day.

Cat Tales!

So you all know that we have 2 cats, and my 22 yr old has 2 cats, right?

Well, last week, Chris, texts me. Rare for him! He was working on programming homework and couldn't find his eraser. He remembered that Talus, one of the cats, had been near by.

Now, when 'they' were kittens we worried about toys. Ha, not anymore, 'they' can make a toy out of anything. The strange thing about Chris' cats is that they like to leave him presents in his shoes. I don't mean nasty presents either!!! Chris finds coins, plastic caps, you name it in his shoes.

So, back to the eraser. Chris went to his shoes when the eraser was missing. First he found an actual cat ball in one shoe, then in the other? Yep, you guessed it! The eraser was in the other shoe!

So, before you put on your shoes, better look for presents!
