FuzzFace making herself at home. 

Today is still windy but not as cold, thats if 32 degrees as the high floats your boat! If its a sailboat it will probably fly with the winds we are having today. Then you could say "Were not in Kansas anymore Toto!".
FuzzFace came in at 8:30 this am and stuck around till 11am. Stepping out during a very windy patch and deciding inside just might be better! I'm winning her over, at least during the cold weather. Took her pic while she was making herself at home and will try to post it. Did a lot of photo editing this am. Yesterday scanned multiple bunches of old photographs and today split them up into singles. Don't know yet what to do with them but its comforting just to know if they crumble away I still have them. Spent 2 and a half hours on the phone last nite with my friend Deena who lives in Illinois. She tried to explain their wacky time zones between IL and IN. I'd never keep them straight and I'd always be an hour late or an hour early??????

Boy is it cold today! Wind chill in the minus numbers! Why do people let their pets out on days like these? There is this little black cat...I know she belongs to someone...we call her FuzzFace since we don't know her real name. She shows up daily for a free meal...not scraggly...looks oooold...meows very loudly, almost demandingly. On cold mornings she shows up well after the sun is up...warmer days much earlier...and then she will go away for sometimes a month or more an we won't see hide nor hair of her. On these cold mornings I have been taking her inside to feed her. One, the food freezes really fast if put outside and Two, I want her to warm up. She is used to people because while she is leery of being in a strange house she does not put up a fight when picked up and plopped in the house. She even explores a little. After eating and exploring a little she wants out and off she goes to who knows where. I let her go because I want her to continue to trust me. Breaks my heart tho when I see any animal out in this cold. I'd like to make the owner stay out for a few hours.
OK,OK, I am now climbing down off my soapbox.

Feeling like something different today...getting closer to telling people about Moose Berries. Right now it just doesn't seem right...I'll know when! The whole reason I have a blog is because of Lisa (Zaleski-Buccheri) Patterson. Lisa is really a childhood friend of Heather's...we correspond and she sends me pictures of her twin boy's. She lives in SC now with the rest of her family but once she was a Northener like us....A-Yah! Now she is a "yall" gal!!! LOL! Anyway, she sent me her blog site and I thought what a great therapy it would be to ramble...like I have said before I wouldn't have needed this outlet if not for the passing of my best friend Jane...loosing my sounding wall was a great blow...I could tell her anything and she me...we were each others sanity! Anyway, Thanks, Lisa! And I enjoy reading her blog. Maybe I was destined to blog or not, but it truly is great fun. Of course to all of you that at a later time I will invite to read my blog you will then be sure that your first impressions that I am truly "nuts" was absolutely correct. Or as Lou would say, the chemo cooked her brain!

Well its a new year already! Where did 2005 go? Not only is it 2006 but its February! Today is my daughters 31st Birthday! Well its not official till 6pm but its still her Birthday. Got a nasty cold! It's better than cancer but still yucky! Dealing with new problems in the new year and still some of the old ones that have yet to be straightened out. I still miss my friend Jane, who inspired my ramblings. I think of her everyday! I feel her presence and wish we could talk! Oh the things I'd tell her! I do talk to her still, but only silence answers me back. Still screwing around with the VA. Those people don't know their ass from their elbow! They are slower than molasses in January! Still trying to figure out how to stay on budget and still buy groceries and pay co pays for Dr's and Rx's. Got a new roof on the house and some new basement windows. A loan I really didn't need. What little extra money I had went to putting in new wiring and circuit box so my house won't burn down. Finally convinced my husband that either he gives up smoking or he gives up playing the lottery...cause he isn't getting any bigger of an allowance than he gets right now! He chose to give up smoking. Smart man! Well thats it for today. Maybe I will write again tommorow...of course since I haven't shared my blog address with anyone I know...no one else reads it...maybe someday!
