coming soon...

I've been away (mentally at least) -- new posts coming soon

lucy ii needs a home...

My mother is moving into an assisted living home... My dad's cat, Lucy (named after my lucy) needs a home... If you know a kind person who loves animals and who would be willing to take her ... please let me know. I would take her but I have three cats and William, my seventeen year old, is still angry and peeing on things because of the addition of Sam.

It is very important to me that Lucy ii finds a good home ... she was with my dad when he died.

snow... snow... snow...

more snow than i've ever seen... these pics are from February 13... I kept thinking the lens was getting wet... alas not... it was the flash hitting the "blizzard like conditions"... I never thought I would ever see so much snow... Carey and I decided to go out and play ... Then Valentine's Day Chuck, Carey and I, and the rest of Cleveland spent the day trying to dig out...

baby it's cold...

(My post from Myspace...)

It's a balmy 5 degrees here right now... The low tonight -1...

I never knew cold before. Thank God I have my soviet era German military coat to keep me warm... best thing my second ex-husband ever did for me.

and so it goes...

in other news...

I'm working on a new attitude via neuro-plasticity... I'll let you know how my transformation goes...

Last night step-nephew Carey and I went to see Pan's Labryinth...

Horrific and brillant... It took hours for my mental equlibrium to come back to plane...
We had to watch Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy to adjust...

Just now Carey and I are spending a lot of time together... in that he's run into... err... shall we say... difficulty at school...

Step-Aunting can be so difficult.

and so i hurl this note into the void with wishes of peace and love...

christmas '06

Well... it didn't snow... and there were boxes everywhere from the move but Christmas, despite all the stress from trying to finally get in the house... was great! We missed Chris and there were others we would have spent time with but Katherine and Carey made the holidays.

The kitties, of course, participated and Sam was slightly more social than usual. (Samalina is black and white... William is all white... Lucy, not pictured, is orange and white.) Lots of good presents... I got earrings, candles, pajamas, movies... Katherine and Carey both got lots of clothes and Chuck got a movie, cookbook, house shoes and a Joseph Campbell book he read in two days.

I was a little sad not having everyone in the same place... It's always difficult with us being in Cleveland and everyone else being in Alabama, Mississippi and North Carolina... but all in all, I think it was pretty wonderful... Our first Christmas in the house.
