Day One Hundred Ninety Six


Even after a whole week since she showed up in the yard,
the new kitty Sally is still the new toy they both fight over.
They take turns holding her for five minutes each. Elijah is
usually reluctant to hand her over when his time is up, but
today he was very cooperative. I think it was partly because
he was ready to go inside and watch Scooby Doo episodes.

Day One Hundred Ninety Five

Random pictures from today......


The new kitty on the block, Sally, talks a lot. Seems I
caught her in mid sentence......

Never ignore anything in the shape of a heart. Not even
a long dead leaf resting in a puddle of rain water with
some rusting screws......

I love the swirls on some of these yet to bloom purple
flowers growing in our back yard.
Can you tell the grand kiddos were not around today?

Day One Hundred Ninety Four

Happy 14th Birthday, Sarah!

Hard to believe my niece Sarah Foy is 14 years old today.
Here she is in her newborn picture July 13, 1995 and in her
school picture taken last Fall. She's grown up way too fast as
I'm sure her parents will tell you. She's a Christian young lady
who is a talented singer, actress and writer. I love you bunches,
Sarah, and wish you every happiness today and always.
My daughter Kelly and I thought we'd take Shelby and Elijah
to Wal-Mart today to buy the new kitten some kitten-sized
food and maybe a toy to play with. We ended up at Petco which
is almost like a visit to a zoo. First time I've ever been in there
and it's a pretty neat place. Here Elijah checks out the kitty
toys.

Kelly and Shelby compare kitty toys and end up picking out
a couple of feathered numbers they thought would interest
little miss "Sally".

Elijah mans a kid-sized shopping cart and wheels our toy
choices all over the store. We checked out all sorts of animals,
birds, fishies, and reptiles.

The ones that caught their attention the most were the
little white mice which were piled in a corner on top of each
other. There was one in the exercise wheel, running in
circles. That made them laugh.

Shelby tries out one of the new toys with "Sally" kitty. She
seemed to like it (the kitty, that is).




Day One Hundred Ninety Three


Farm Town on Facebook is addictive to some of us addictive types. I spent so much time on my farm last night that I forgot to post anything here. Better late than never I guess. I changed my avatar to look like a gray haired granny because all the girls on Farm Town pretty much look a like. So here "I" am standing in front of my farmhouse surrounded by my banana trees and roses and cats and dogs and llamas, etc. I know. It's crazy. But crazy in a fun way. Obsess much?

Day One Hundred Ninety Two

Random pictures from today......


Okay, so I'm in love with cute mushrooms that grow in my
yard.....

Her name is "Carlisle" and she's one in the quartet of cute
kittens that make their home at my sister Jane's house.....

And this cute chick pea is niece Sarah who is
celebrating her 14th birthday on Monday. She
partied tonight with family. We all enjoyed a
lot of laughs and had a great time together.
Good times, great memories!
