Days of Summer

Yesterday was such a warm muggy day that we decided to go swimming. BAD IDEA!! The dome on top of the pool is working so well (heat wise) the pool was a balmy 95 degrees. Although that would be a great temp in the winter to swim in.....it is not great to swim in to cool off. I had a difficult time breathing the air. It was like a hot bath.

This sounds like a complaint. It is so NOT. It was wonderful to swim. I love spending time at home....in our yard....just the two of us. I look forward to this summer and many more days like yesterday :D

Goliath


How can I not love this little thing? No joke...this is my favorite little kitten. I cannot get enough of him. And he is so soft I cannot tell that I am even touching him. He is the most gentle of all the kittens and seeks me out all the time. He just wants to be held. He is purr-fectly content. And his blue eyes pierce right through me. He will be the hardest to see go. I fell in love with him from day 1....and probably is the reason I am keeping the kittens until they are 12 weeks. I will keep them as long as I can.

No, really.....I am looking for homes for them. I just don't want to :D

Mamas


This cat is the most perfect cat I have ever met. She is sweet and lovable. She is 100% jealous of the love and attention the kittens get. She will make sure we make time for her too. Or she will tell you all about it. We have conversations all the time. Sometimes I almost think she understands me :D

Pretty


This little girl is a sweet little princess (When she is sleeping) Don't let her size fool you....she is a spit fire. And yet incredibly sweet at the same time. You just want to pick her up and protect her....but, believe me, she can hold her own.

Tux


This little guy is a spaz!!! Seriously he is all over the place. He chases the wind and fights the air. All with twirls and tumbles. And yet....dressed to the nines :D

New Audio Book Series

Our friends have given us a thumbs up for a certain series of books for us to listen to in the car on our long trips. The books are by Lee Child. It is the 'Jack Reacher' series. I believe there are 14 books so far. And each one is about 15-16 hours in length. LOVE IT!!! It is a lot like the TV series 24. Most of the stuff would never happen in real life. But, I love the series books. I love when the characters are people you already know....so they can get down to the nitty gritty of the story.

Believe it or not....it makes me look forward to our next car trip. Hmmmm....maybe a trip across the US? Nah!!! At one time it was a dream of mine....now I'm too old and cannot think about sitting in the car that long. But, we'll see :D

Era gone



Sadly....I remember when video stores were first out. No one had a VCR (unless you were rich) and you had to rent one from the video store. A big bulky thing. But, we loved movie nights:D

We have been collecting movies for a long time....and sadly, Hollywood Video was a frequent haunt. We would get $6 movies...and they were guaranteed for LIFE!!! They are no longer :( I'm pretty sure that guarantee is no longer available.

Now where will we buy cheep videos? And I don't mean to rent them....I mean buy! I guess I will have to think of something else to collect.
