Lady in red.
Chatty Cathy has been part of our household for around 45 days now. For the first month she was stuck at home, hanging out with me, until we could get her enrolled in school. I’m not that exciting, poor girl.…
I like my eggs dippy.
Mr. Gatsby and Hubby have been at Autorama all evening, for the last two days. Mr. Gatsby is showing his car, for the first time. (I’m so proud of him and how he’s handled the challenges life has tossed at…
Where did I leave my glasses?

The sounds of silence.
The day started with Sassy Britches missing the bus. It sure looked like an intentional miss if you ask me. (Cameras all over my house.) She must really have a strong distaste for second hour. Chemistry isn’t really my fav…
Scenes from an airport.
