The Ultimate Blog Party Post!

Welcome to my blog! It's not been around that long, but I'm having fun with it. Sometimes I just post about what's on my mind, sometimes I see or read something that makes me think. Today I'm posting about my life.

Here's my dear husband sitting on one of our 11 Kawasaki Triple motorcycles. The half a child you can see on the right is our son. Currently I have a motorcycle frame, an engine, and other assorted parts scattered about my living room, bedroom, and kitchen. I've been asked before about how I can put with it? Well, as I see it, I can have him at home, with me, tinkering with the parts in the living room and being happy, or.... I can complain bitterly, put the parts out the door, and stay home alone while he's out at the local bar, the strip club, or his buddy's house, and wonder when he'll be back. My very wise Grandmother once told me "If you don't take an interest in your husband's hobbies, there's always another woman who will be happy to." Given a choice, I am very happy to have the parts scattered around my home! What choice would you make?

This is Tigger, our Maine Coon. My husband drove 1400 miles round trip to rescue him from being sent to his death at the pound. He's so laid back and so much fun! He is the peacemaker in the home if the girls get to squabbling. If there's a box or drawer to be found, he'll be in it!

Here is our Precious. Two years ago my husband was working out in the garage and heard somebody mewing, and there was this absolutely filthy, horribly emaciated grey kitty peering out from behind our garbage can. He called her over and she came right to him. I swear she ate a whole can of tuna in 10 seconds flat! Within only a few days, she turned into the most beautiful fluffy kitty, and is such a joy. She is Tigger's special buddy.

Here is Zoe the Lab, and Amber kitty. Zoe came from a local breeder. I know it's not good to buy animals from a breeder, but our breeder is very ethical and reputable. He talked to us for half an hour, asking all sorts of questions, before he would even start discussing allowing us to come and see the pups. Zoe is such a marvelous family member. We adopted Amber kitty from a local kitty rescue. She's very loving, as you can tell!

This is Camille. Several months ago, while my husband and I were out of town, a small kitten came to live in a rusty metal shack behind where my husband works. The other fellas at his job fed her and took care of her for a few days until he came back, hoping he would take her home. When he got back, and met her, of course she came home with him. She loves to snuggle and play with the other kitties. Her favorite toys are the plastic rings off of milk jugs - no store bought toys for her! As you can tell - she considers her own comfort to be of the utmost importance.

We also have Hannah - better known as Panda (because she's black and white). She was adopted from the same kitty rescue as Amber. Panda tries to appear very refined and stylish, but is known to run a mean Kitty 500 throughout the house, and loves to meow loudly in Zoe's ear when Zoe is sleeping. She and Amber are the best of friends!



Well, there you go. A few photos of the most important things in my life. Hope you enjoyed meeting them and may you have a blessed day.
