Happy new year!

The past few weeks have been even busier than I anticipated. We are (I hope) nearing the end of the unplanned home reno project. Christmas is over.  Apart from other deadlines that are imminent, I’ve been trying to get a book manuscript in. Things are going very well, but I always am a bit too optimistic when it comes to…

A very special birthday…

Boris is one! He started out like this: Then he looked like this: and this. And now he looks like this: We couldn’t love him any more. There will be cake.

Meet Boris!

In my last post I mentioned that I would be featuring some kitty photos in the New Year. Longtime readers may remember my beloved cat Beulah, who died in 2004. I can’t believe it’s been over eight years since she passed away; I still miss her so much.  Beulah was a wonderful cat, although she had behavioral and medical issues…
