Pinterest Addict

It has been a new day in social media for me.  I have finally signed up for a Pinterest account and am thrilled with all the ideas, pictures, dreams, and creativity that is out there on the world wide web.  This could get out of hand at some point, but I am still rational at this time.  The weekends are when I seem to be looking, browsing, and pinning.  What fun!

Have a quick March.  The end of the third nine weeks is almost here!  Easter is around the corner and time is flying by so fast.  Hoping to get new glasses, maybe a new prescription as I think my bifocals need to be stronger.  Reading is getting difficult again, but maybe it is because my eyes get tired more often.

Snowy is a great cat, except that he is still learning boundaries.  The car seems to be his favorite place to sleep at night, but maybe once summer comes, he will change his location.  He dutifully waits for us to come home each day on the front porch.  We yell at him driving into the driveway to get the mail and he comes running to the garage!  He is hungry and thirsty and quite glad to see us.  He is a sweet cat, smart, and has already shown his gratitude by catching two mice and a bird.  Hopefully, he will keep our yard rodent free!

A little late . . .

A morning for wasting time on the web . . . Here is a short clip celebrating 2013!

Snowy arrival!

Snowy came into our lives on Monday, December 31, 2012.  What an addition to our household!  He arrived neutered, with all his claws, and a penchant for purring.  Took him to the vet, who discovered a terrible case of worms (gave him worm meds), fleas (gave him Revolution), an ear infection (have to give him ear drops twice a day, but no mites), and all his vaccinations and shots.  Seems to be in good health otherwise and has provided Zane and I many moments of merriment.  Snowy is definitely a kitten, the vet took one look at his teeth and pronounced him under a year, and definitely acts like one.  Full of spunk, loves to chase the laser beam and a cat toy, he is getting acclimated to being outside for the majority of the day.  Zane named him Snowy because he came during a real snowfall and I only found him because of his black patches.  Isn't he cute????  We are hoping for a long life, just like Six had with us.

January 2013

Another year has passed and it was chalk full of life, ups and downs, goods and not-so-goods.  Definitely a packed year!  Time for marching on and seeing what the future holds, including a thirty year reunion.

Have set up a Skype account finally.  We had a great group conference video chat for our KRC and are planning a get together this year.  I am hoping to contact my cousin across the pond and keep in touch with him better this year.  Technology is truly amazing!

School is halfway through for the year.  Unbelievable how times flies as you get older.  It will be June before I know it.  Grades are due and lots going on until spring break.  Should make the time fly even faster.  Everyone is healthy and even though the flu season is here and many are ill, we seem to have survived so far.

Reading on the Kindle like a fiend.  It is so good to read again for fun.  Although I miss going to the library, you can't beat the convenience of the Kindle.  Log on, find a book, check it out, and never deplete your gas tank!  What a deal!

Still putting away Christmas decorations, but this should be the last.  Finally!
