On Monday, Mom made a big deal about the solar eclipse. She actually went to the town square with her lunch and a lawn chair, so she could watch it with some of her friends. She said she was going to put on some funny glasses to look right at the sun. She did not take me along, so I don’t understand why it was … Continue reading Post 70 – Eclipse

Dad turned 82 this last week. Mom invited a few close friends here for his birthday dinner. Dad had a good time. Mom had worried about it, because sometimes having other people around can be very hard on Dad. I understand that completely. It was also my birthday, and there was no way I wanted any extra people in our house! I was happy to … Continue reading Post 69 – Birthdays

As you must know by now, my Mom is an author. That is why she has a website where I can share my posts. Personally, I think I should have my own website and email address, but she still says we can share. Today, I mention that she is an author because she and her new editor will be polishing her second cozy mystery – … Continue reading Post 68 – An Author

I waited until late to make my post. Mom said that today was Easter Sunday. She said that the Easter Bunny would often hide colored eggs and candy for children to find. I didn’t see a bunny nor did I find eggs or candy in our play yard. I did see a stray black cat that is often on the front porch. I wonder if … Continue reading Post – 67 Easter Sunday

Today is March 28th and not my normal posting day. Mom just learned from Facebook that today is National Respect Your Cat Day. She insisted that she needed to verify that information before she would let me post it. I don’t know why she questioned it. As anyone with a cat will tell you – everyday should be Respect Your Cat Day. In turn we … Continue reading Part 66 – Respect Your Cat Day

As you may recall, after that throat tumor was removed, I was diagnosed with cancer. I cooperated for about six months as Mom fed me wet cat food with medicine stirred in it. I really like my dry food rather than all of the wet types Mom tried. After the six months, I refused to eat the wet stuff. I left it for Sophia. She … Continue reading Part 65 – Weight

We get a lot of rain here in our part of Texas. On average we get 36 inches a year just like Seattle. Mom said that when she and Dad lived there, it drizzled all winter long. Like the Pacific Northwest, we also get most of our rain in the winter, but we tend to get downpours rather than drizzle days. Drizzle or downpour – … Continue reading Part 64 – Rain

Because Mom has had 5 books published, she has an author page on Amazon. Over the years they have changed the rules on what she can put there. When she received the shipment of books, she made and then posted a video about unpacking the book. I didn’t think it was very exciting, but at least she tried. She made a few other videos as … Continue reading Part 63 – Author Central

I’m not Irish, and I don’t think Mom and Dad are Irish either. I’ve heard about green beer and parades on St Patrick’s Day. We don’t do either of those things. Mom did, however, put a corned beef in the crockpot. It cooked all day, giving our house an odd smell. Later she added potatoes and onions. When it was close to dinner time, she … Continue reading Part 62 – St Patrick’s Day
