Yesterday and today, we put Buttercup in the basement for a while, and let Niko roam around the house. He was happy to be out of the bedroom. In the kitchen, he stood at the back door and watched the outdoor cats. He thought DD’s school book bag was full of interesting smells. This evening […]
Here’s the new view of the house from the mailbox. This picture was taken from very near the same vantage point, in May of 2005. With the two pine trees and the oak tree from the center of the driveway gone, the house can now be seen from the road. Sure looks odd without those […]
It was rainy and a bit chilly this AM, but Paul and his crew were here before 8:00 to take down three trees for us. In the center of the driveway, they removed the oak on the left and the pine tree on the right. They also removed the large pine by the front porch. […]

We adopted a new kitty today. Niko is a beautiful Birman cat. We’re thrilled his previous family chose us to his new family. We drove 50 minutes north to pick him up. His family provided all his toys, his bed, his kitty house, etc., so he has a lot of familiar items to help him […]
Just a couple of pics of the grands. She took her first step yesterday. Pigtails! ~~Grandma
What?? I can hear it now…. 🙂 Yes, our first Christmas tree is up. Buttercup watched while Brooke decorated the tree in DD#1’s room this AM. We brought DD#2’s tree down, fluffed it and were ready to decorate, but one string of lights is not working properly. I’ll have to fix that before we can […]
