Musings on cats, travel, gardens and life
Not exactly on purpose. It comes with age I think. Take yesterday for instance. My birthday and happy news about Benji making it into the iCatCare Calendar – I the proud mom and photographer. So I did a quick celebratory post. Why not? Then… Continue Reading “I traded in perfection for humility”
Three years ago I mustered up the courage to start this blog ~ with a little help from my feline friends! Since then the forest in back is gone, the sweet Benji has come to join us, but otherwise much remains the same. Here’s… Continue Reading “Tiger’s Corner”
Yesterday I was notified by WordPress that I’m apparently on a roll having posted 5 days in a row. I think my being cooped up here during Snowmageddon has something to do with it – which makes me wonder – what did those pioneers… Continue Reading “On Blogging and the Snow”
When I say ‘fun’ I mean the blogging part, the actual creative writing and posting of pictures, thoughts and other fancies; the technical computer issues and ergonomics, not so much.

Has it really been a year since I started this blog with just a few cat stories in mind, along with a lot of fear and trepidation? Well, yes it has! And a wonderful journey it has been! I am honestly pleased (and somewhat surprised) to have made it this far and… Continue Reading “One Year with Cats and Trails and Garden Tales”
Well I guess I am. Counting that is. I was an accountant after all, a long time ago in a galaxy, far, far away. Now, enough of the numbers. The main reason I started this blog was to encourage myself to write and to have a fun place… Continue Reading “Six months and 50 posts ~ but who’s counting?”
If you read the ‘About’ section on this blog you will already know that I spent some time working in technology. I liked it. Maybe a lot. I was not a heavy-duty computer programmer. I didn’t do Cobol. (Do they still use that?) Or… Continue Reading “Testing 1,2,3…..”
