Hello Friends! Here we go in the world of blogging! Hang on tight my friends, I am new to all this technology stuff so this could be an interesting ride! Then ‘Why Blog’ you might ask… good question. For those of you that know me, my mind has a way of wandering off deep in thought quite often, usually at night when I am trying to get to sleep! Sheesh! Where is that off button again? Anyway, it occurred to me that I really enjoy telling my stories, adventures, tiny bits of wisdom learned along life’s path, items that peak my interest, funny things that happen, etc. .. basically I am a born and raised Texas Gal and we love to talk! Usually pretty loud too and yep with big Texas hair, well not so much big hair any more, but you get the idea. And actually I think my life is fairly full of interesting things on a daily basis. All in how you look at life I guess… but I think it is interesting, why just a week ago my husband brought home a cat, yep, a C-A-T. Now for normal folks that may un-interesting… me? Not so normal, never really had a house cat before… had some wild barn cats growing up, I learned not to try and hug them often believe you me. So, John brings home a cat from the shelter… might seem boring to some, however, let me add— we have 2 Jack Russell Terriers, they believe cats were put on this planet for their entertainment and 1 BIG Black Lab Mixwho thinks anything furry, quick and not a Jack Russell should be chased and possibly eaten by him. As you can imagine we have had quite a few interesting moments lately. Such as, I did not know cats could jump that high, I did not know a 14 yr old overweight Jack Russell could still shimmy under a bed that quick, I never knew cats could hiss, fluff and arch their back to the point of looking like some prehistoric predator, I found out that a 90 lb lab mix can fit in some pretty small spaces, I absolutely never knew that a computer monitor was a cat magnet, I also found out just how much dust there is on top of my refrigerator by the numerous cat prints left across my microwave, stove top and kitchen counter and did you know an 8lb cat can launch 7 tomatoes that were sitting next to the kitchen sink in 7 different directions across the kitchen when a large black lab is pouncing at a high rate of speed? For all you that maybe concerned for the cats well-being, “Ranger” is doing fine, the scratches on the Jacks will heal in time and the lab may need to be in psychiatric care soon. Oh yeah, this blogging is going to be a terrific ride! Hope ya’ll come back and visit soon. Gee, I wonder what kind of excitement will happen this weekend…
