About Me

My photo
I am a Mom, Wife and Daughter. Say road trip and I am all ready in the car. I do love to stay home too. I am either reading, sewing, crocheting, doing something with paper or taking care of my family at any given moment.

Gaela helped me finish the quilt only two weeks late. Isn't it lovely.......

Loki



Here is Loki.... She is about 5 months old and 3 pounds 7 ounces of untouchable adorableness..... She is feral. Gaela has been feeding her outside. Gaela trapped her last week and we rushed up to the vet. She checked out healthy and she was spayed that afternoon. She was scared but calm in the crate... Until we opened the crate at the vet...Who knew tiny kittens could do that? No injuries and only minimal damage to the office. The outdoor pictures are before capture.... The indoor picture is her yesterday in the enclosure Gaela has made for her out of parts of Dr. Sheldon Cooper's extravagant cage. She is calm but scared. The Boys are not one bit happy.... They will come around.

Appliances

Old Fridge
Filled with melting ice and soiling food......

The Three Wise Men

Our little town decorates for Christmas with wild abandon.... This is my favorite every year...... As a testament to the fierce Winter we had this trio is just making their appearance as the snow is finally melting.
