1) Lady Grey watching her favorite channel Awww! She’s a big fan of YouTube’s CatTV channel. 2) At times, Merricat joins her Awww! You ask what sort of person uses television as a Kitty-sitter? Studies show that cats are not harmed by excessive TV watching — though sometimes TVs are. Besides, it’s not like they… Read More 6 things my cats do that make me go “Awww”

We’re in this together

I’ve been going back and forth over what to write. Do I discuss what we’re all thinking about right now – or trying hard not to – or do I write something funny to take our minds off it? Or do I blow off the whole thing and just take a nap instead? On the one… Read More We’re in this together

Do you still use paper towels?

You know how it is when you’ve been doing something out-of-the-ordinary for so long that you forget it’s out-of-the-ordinary? That happened to me at work last week. I was asked to write an article for our newsletter suggesting people stop using paper towels, and I asked – in all seriousness – “People still use paper… Read More Do you still use paper towels?

Whether we complain about it or not, it’s just weather

As I write this, it’s morning on October 2. Our heat is on, the fireplace as well – it’s gas, merely a click and we’re cozy. I’m sitting with a cup of hot tea and a cat curled up at my side. The candle I have burning is called “Hickory Hearth.” I open with that… Read More Whether we complain about it or not, it’s just weather

All hail Lord Cockroach! (It’s only a matter of time.)

At my old job, if a cockroach was spotted in the front office or hallway, I was the one who dealt with it. It wasn’t in my job description but beings how I didn’t run off screaming at the sight of them, it fell to me. I will now pause to discuss the two types… Read More All hail Lord Cockroach!

Springtime is for the birds

Spring has officially arrived to our Minnesota home: Yeah, I know according to the calendar Spring has been here awhile, but it’s only really felt like Spring for the past week or so. And it’s not that a flowering crabapple is an official start, but it sounds good to me. Speaking of trees, we had… Read More Springtime is for the birds

The Seasons, They Are A’Changin…

This is my first real Autumn in I don’t know how long. My first, honest-to-goodness, stomping-through-piles-of-leaves kind of Autumn. It’s not like we didn’t have Autumn in Phoenix, it’s just that we faked it. In Phoenix you wear sleeveless shirts in fall colors, switch out your flip-flops for brown sandals, and drink iced pumpkin lattes. And… Read More The Seasons, They Are A’Changin…

Not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but I have an apple tree. Here, look upon my apple tree: Beautiful, is it not? Better yet, it provides a marvelous view from my kitchen sink. Here, look upon the view from my kitchen sink: The window screen makes it a little fuzzy, but you get the… Read More On Apple Trees, Cake, and Planning Ahead for Panic Attacks

No Worries: The Kids Are Alright

Our kids came for a visit this last weekend. It’s their first visit since we moved here, the first they saw our new place, the first time they’ve been in Minnesota. Before they arrived, I told Husband how strange it felt. It was like I wanted to show off the place, impress them a little.… Read More No Worries: The Kids Are Alright
