Feline Friday March 13, 2020


Lucy the Cat!
Next month she will be 10 years old!
She came into our lives and hearts
at the age of 6 months as a feral stray.
It took us a bit, but we managed to
entice her into our home with tasty food.
After a few weeks she was nicely settled
in and the only time she goes outside is
 with us on a leash. She takes us for walks!
We are so lucky to have her with us.  
Have a lovely day!

AWWW Monday! March 9, 2020


Birthday girl Stephanie with her 
new little puppy Dakota!


Stephanie blowing out her birthday candles!!
Not just one cake for her, but TWO!


After dinner and birthday dessert
Logan, Stephanie and Kevin laughed
and had fun with Lucy while first
she ate some fresh catnip and then
they got to play with her tossing toys and
getting her to chase them! 
Such a fun evening! Life is good.

Thankful Thursday! March 5, 2020


Happy Happy 75th Birthday Russell!
I count my blessings everyday...
and if it weren't for my wonderful
husband Russell,  my life would not
be so sweet and loving.  
We're having dinner at La Bottega
of our favorite Italian restaurants!  
Cheers and may you have an equally great day!
Many thanks to Brian for Thankful Thursday!

Feline Friday !!! March 6, 2020


Lucy was sleeping quite nicely tucked in 
and almost invisible! 


But ...ahah!...she caught sight of me!
We just love Lucy soooo much!
She's a great cat!
Thanks Sandee for Feline Friday!

Happy Tuesday March 3, 2020


Yesterday Russell and I drove across the
Columbia River to pick up the Portland light rail.
We went downtown to the Portland Art Museum.  
We primarily wanted to see the retrospective
of  Robert Colescott's paintings. 
While we there we also viewed the exhibit of posters
The Art of Reading. Which is where I saw these
six glassed in periodicals. Two of which above
I enlarged so you could easily read them.


Have a lovely Tuesday!
