Critter Chronicles
Colorado
The Carpet Project
I’ve mentioned several times how one of our cats was having litterbox issues, and for me it all came to a head on Friday. Despite the fact that I’d repeatedly steam cleaned the soiled areas, and sprayed it with an all-natural cat deterrent, and laid plastic bags and paper bags and crinkly textures over the … Continue reading
Spring Break Stay-Cation
The Critters both had this past week off of school for Spring Break, and because Tony is (still) gone and out of the country I originally planned to just stay bottled up inside our house and wallow in the fact that we’re just over halfway through this five-week separation. (Yes, he was home for four … Continue reading

Lion(fish) and Tigers and Mermaids, Oh My!
After yesterday’s snow, today’s weather was very different – sunny and NOT snowing – but still cool, so my mom treated us to a day at the Denver aquarium. There are the animals you expect to see: Some things were a little… odd: And then there’s just the plain out-of-the-ordinary: Which made this little girl … Continue reading

>Tuesday Tidbits are the posts where I sum up all the little things that happen in our lives from one week to the next; the little things that aren’t interesting enough for me to write an entire post about (though you all know I can spin a boring tale out of pretty much near anything), … Continue reading
