DC Monuments

Posted by Dale @ 8:32 pm in Family, Sightseeing

Mugs has been overwhelmed by a visit from the Briens (minus Jed) and hasn’t had a chance to post. A couple weeks ago, she sent me these great photos of some of the DC monuments. You can enjoy looking at these photos while we wait for Mugs to post Brien stories. I work for tips only.

Abby took all of these photos with the camera she got for her birthday.

Patches

Posted by Mugs @ 3:26 am in Pets

Today, we went and picked up Abby’s new kitty, Patches. The kitty is a Tortie Ragdoll, a mix of reddish cream, gray, and white. She will darken as she gets older. The stripe down her nose cracks me up. We purchased Patches from a cat lady who has cats, cats everywhere. Almost all her cats are big and sweet. She kept a runt once because no one wanted him. She named him fatso and he lived up to his name. We left with only one kitten. Although, she tried to convince me to buy two. Knowing my husband’s lack of fondness for cats, I decided it probably was best to only bring home one. The kids have been having fun watching Patches chase the feather wand and swat the ball in the track. When Patches got tired, she climbed up onto the bed next to Abby, started purring while Abby was petting her, and fell asleep. I think they’ll get along just fine.

First Photo of Blaze

Posted by Dale @ 8:15 am in Pets

We gave Abby a digital camera for her birthday this week. So Mugs can now include pictures in her posts. Almost. She sent me the pictures so I can include them. I guess I’ll need to put together a set of instructions for uploading pictures to the blog. Anyway, here’s the first photo of Blaze on the blog.

I’ll post more later when I have some time.
