COLD DARK ROOM

[Cathie G]

Right?! that's why when she showed me a picture I was all over! she had no idea and was very shocked at my reaction

Probably a gift from God for all you've been through.

Oh my garsh. I won't get on a ladder unless someone is spotting me anymore. I've fallen too many times. Once I was trying to paint the awnings and fell behind the shrubs. I forced myself to recover a bit and get up because I probably just looked like a bag of rags. I would have been found though when I got stinky...

LOL! This reminds me of when I was up on the roof of the barn cleaning off the pepper tree leaves. My barn is a metal building, sort of like a three stall run-in shed, and there's a pepper tree right behind it. Well, you can't leave the leaves on that metal or it will eventually rot and rust away, so several times throughout the summer I would have to get up the ladder and clean off the roof. I had a long handled rake I could use for most of it, but it wasn't long enough to reach all the way across. Plus, if you actually got up on the roof, you had to only step on the metal supports because the roof panels aren't strong enough to support one's weight. So this one day I was up on the roof and I accidentally kicked the ladder away. Here I am, in a semi-rural neighborhood, among working people (no one's home) and stuck up on the roof of the barn. Actually, if I had been using my head, I could have laid on my stomach and hung off the edge of the roof and there probably would have only been a 3 or 4 foot drop, but I wasn't thinking. So I sat up there hoping someone would go by the street. I waited maybe a half hour and eventually I saw a neighbor a couple acres away out in his front yard. I hollered and hollered. He eventually heard me and came to my rescue! This was many years ago. I wouldn't dare do that now.

I have one of those life alert buttons now. They got me one when I confessed to falling off a ladder in our bathtub. Well...the ceiling needed cleaned...

Wow, just back from a really nice morning of kayaking. Lots of great pix. I need to chainsaw the top of a few trees yet this afternoon before the rain, winds & storms arrive tomorrow afternoon.

We started out early this morning with on the water time just after 0800. Calm winds, sun had been up for about an hour. The water was like glass, air temp about 38F, water temp about 45F.

Good Evening Everyone
I'm sorry I forgot to mention that My black Kitty is named Pantera (spanish for panther) and the orange tabby is called Rosie (Rosa Parks)
Walter is the Leopard tort, and I agree he is a little blessing. Indeed, it did take them forever to fix my eyes. The double vision went away just last month.

agreed!

Aw, aren't they cute! What did you name them? My daughter recently got an orange kitten and she named him Cheeto. I guess you're gonna' have to permanently raise the blinds just a bit if you don't want them to get wrecked. I have two new little monsters too, and they get into SO much trouble!

How unusual to find a LEOPARD tortoise! That's not usually the species that gets found. He's a nice-lookin' little guy.

I do raise the blinds and then they aren't interested
Pantera and Rosie ar their names,
Very unusual indeed to find a Leopard tort, it will be fun to see him grow up

Good Morning Everyone
I'm heading to the eye doctor's to get my last pair of glasses for awhile! YAY! *insert happy turtle dance*
It will rain today and suppose to rain all the way through the weekend. I'm glad I'm off the week, and not going out of town this week.

I have several cats, but only one that lives indoors, Little Missy Kitty:


She's not fond of the two new little interlopers and she searches them out then sits about 10' away from them and hisses and growls at them. At first the kittens would run 'home' (the closet), but they've gotten to realize she's no threat, only hissing and growling, so they just sit there and stare back at her.

Little Missy Kitty's 'safe' place to sleep is on the cat tree in the living room, the highest shelf. It took the kittens a long time to venture out of my bedroom and closet into the rest of the house, but they discovered the living room this past week, and the cat tree this morning. Poor Little Missy Kitty!

She now has to sleep on the back of the couch.

Son and I are headed to the tree farm to pick out our Christmas tree. Tradition dictates that it goes up on Friday but I refuse to leave my house on Black Friday so it must be gotten today

There's probably a few adults on the loose near..and I'm maybe wrong. Unless someone had the audacity to let a baby loose. Their loss.

I named my last bunny "QueSi". My vet sends birthday cards and you can't believe the digital card that came. It's an older hard to find Hispanic song called "Que Si Que No". It fit that saucy little chile pepper so well. She eventually saved my life.

It's probably about to get real interesting. Dilly goes fishing for bunny with his tail but gets the heck out of dodge when she bites...
