Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
I'm stealing from the suggested topic this time since it is so easy - and easy is always best for a Monday 🙂 So here are my pets: Amber the large boned, long haired, highly vocal (I swear she's had entire back and forth conversations with Alex who, naturally, loves to tease her) part Maine...

Well, the kitties are anyway. The rest of us? Sometimes home to sleep. Who knew I'd be taking a blogging hiatus? Caught Chip mid-yawn - they do love their Ham-micks! I swear I'll be back later....

I did it because I'd had dinner with some friends who had all commented on how LAME Facebook check ins are, especially when people are checking in from home and calling their home some cutesy name. So,... Continue Reading →
