With Spring comes many of the annoying pests that I so detest. Ick. I am not scared of bugs, but I absolutely cannot stand spiders or wasps. They both scare me. I don’t mind mice and actually find them quite cute, as long as they stay outside of our house. We have never seen a […]

Catitude
I finally got my scrapbook stuff out again and completed a page. Nothing fancy, but it feels good to get another page done. As always, the line down the middle of the page is because I have to scan my 12×12 pages in two parts and then merge them together with a photo editing software. […]
Treed
I was outside in my front yard, talking with my neighbor, Janette. All of a sudden, her dog, a large, golden retriever named Rudy, bolted across the street. He had spotted Petey, our orange tabby cat. He started chasing Petey around the side of our house. Let me tell you, I don’t know that I […]
Alpha Kitty
I was sitting at my computer when I heard one of the most awful and freaky sounds coming from outside the window. Another catfight. It is amazing just how horrible it can sound when two normally cute and cuddly kitties yowl at each other. This one sounded particularly bad and it gave me shivers because […]

I had fun pointing out different things to Adrianna and taking her hand to feel the texture of the grass beneath our bare feet.

Eric Smith stopped back by our house on his way back from Breckenridge. Not only was it great to see him again, but it turned out to be a real blessing as he helped Greg pour the cement for the cement pad in our backyard. They both worked hard all afternoon at it. And towards […]
Last night my cousin, Kate, stayed the night with us. I am always glad to see her as she is so much fun and I just love hearing her stories of all the exciting (and crazy/scary!) things she does at the Air Force Academy. She is way braver than I am. Anyways, Kate had gotten […]
Cues
Cue n. A stimulus, either consciously or unconsciously perceived, that elicits or signals a type of behavior. Our dachshunds, Chloe and Molly, are very adept at discovering, learning, and reacting to certain cues in our behavior. Many actions that we take during the course of a normal day elicit excited responses on their part; most […]
Poor Petey
We had quite a scare with our cat, Petey (aka Dr Peter Jones for whom our website is named). We didn’t see him Thursday night, but it isn’t too unusual for him to stay out all night. But when we still hadn’t seen him on Friday, we began to worry, as he is quite a […]
