Goodbye is an interesting word. It can mean, “I’ll see you in a few minutes, hours, weeks, months, or even years.” It can also mean, “I’ll never see you again,” although in that circumstance someone is more likely to say, “Farewell.” Too often with the first meaning, the future is not known. The assumption is that you well see each other again. That can change … Continue reading Part 98 – GoodBye

Besides our beloved camper van, Mom and Dad have a second car for every day use. It is a yellow Kia Soul. They explained that they love it, because it is fun to drive, the right size for most things, and they can almost always find it in a parking lot. Last night they learned that may be a little harder to identify it in … Continue reading Part 97 – Yellow Cars

Our house sits on a large lot near the edge of our small town. Mom says the house is too close to the street with a small front yard, but a very big back yard. Unless Mom puts me on a walking leash, I really go beyond our play area between the back door and the screened patio. Missy, the dog, gets to make the … Continue reading Part 96 – Chickens

It is Wednesday, and we are posting on time. Today, I just wanted to tell you about how happy I get when Mom holds me. She had told me about a cat she had named Homer. He was a 22 pound marmalade tabby with a big white belly. He liked to be held like a baby with his belly up so she could rub it. … Continue reading Part 95 – Holding Me

Mom is still spending too much time with her camera. The group she has joined has a new mission each week to take a picture that addresses a certain topic. This last week it was doors. Our house has lots of doors. The hallway that connects the living/dinning room with the family room/kitchen has doors at each end as well as the doors to the … Continue reading Part 94 – Pictures

I didn’t post on Sunday. I didn’t post on Wednesday. Today is Thursday and I really don’t have a lot to say, but I will tell you about our week. Sunday, Mom said she needed to drive 75 miles each way to pick up her new glasses. By the time they got home, we all just wanted a good nap. I spent most of the … Continue reading Post 93 – Life in Texas Summer

It is not your imagination; today is NOT Sunday or Wednesday. I did, however, want to give a quick update for all of my followers who have expressed concern about my sister Sophia’s health. 1) She woke up complaining to Mom about something. Because she can no longer breath through her nose like a normal cat, she sounds like she has some weird accent. Mom … Continue reading Part 92 – Sophia Update

My cat sister – Sophia Harlequin is sick. She started sneezing a few months ago. Mom and Dad assumed that she had a cold. It didn’t seem to slow her down any. They also assumed that it would pass on its own. It didn’t. It seemed to be getting worse, so Mom took her to our vet. Sophia didn’t like it. She told me later … Continue reading Part 91 – Sophia

As you and I both know, today is Sunday. That means that Mom needs to sit her butt down in her computer chair and get ready to transcribe my thoughts into my bi-weekly blog post. Today, however, she has not wanted to do that. She has been outside to cut the grass without taking me out to supervise her work. Then she changed into her … Continue reading 90 – Sunday
