Kitty Hideout

Now this is something we don’t see very often. These furry little souls don’t really spend much time hanging out with each other. I mean, a little nod in passing–from the girls maybe, and a good pounce now and then from Hobbes, sure. But laying around having a kitty chat on a cool winter day?

Heck no.

I have several friends with multiple cats and they play with each other and lay all over each other and actually- you know- like each other. Yeeeeahhh…that’s not happening here. No idea what I’m doing wrong.

Sooooo….what’s going on then, you ask?

Well, I’ll tell you.

All three of these chicken liver kitties are actually hiding away behind mostly closed doors to ‘stay safe” from ANYone who happens to come visit me. It could be my kids, my grandkids, my friends, the UPS guy- doesn’t matter. If they knock on the door, the cats take off like Godzilla is coming after them.

Descendants of the brave, mighty lion, indeed.

Big old babies.

 

Here To Stay

At last, at last–Dane and Kortney have found a place to live…

right here in Utah, about 20 minutes from my house.

Which, of course, is 18 minutes TOO far away. HAhaha. But hey, I’ll take it.

 

Welcome back to Utah my loves!!

 

One Little Life

I have always loved this poem. In fact, when I was a teenager, I took a blank book and pasted a bunch of poems into it–and this was one of them. I read it over and over, so many times that I memorized it without meaning to. It reminds me that even if we think our time and our effort and our lives are small and insignificant, Heavenly Father still sees us. When we truly love him, He knows.

Father, Where Shall I Work Today?
by Meade McGuire

“Father, where shall I work today?”
And my love flowed warm and free.
Then He pointed out a tiny spot
And said, “Tend that for me.”I answered quickly, “Oh no; not that!
Why, no one would ever see,
No matter how well my work was done;
Not that little place for me.”And the word He spoke, it was not stern;
He answered me tenderly:
“Ah, little one, search that heart of thine.
Art thou working for them or for me?
Nazareth was a little place,
And so was Galilee.”

 

 

Happy New Year!!

If you were anywhere near us around New Year’s I would have, no doubt, invited you…

to work on a lovely puzzle which was simply perfect for the occasion.

Happy people, fun food and fireworks.

Sounds like real life to me.

Heh, heh.

Happy New Year everyone!!
