By the way, here is the latest photo of the kids. Aren't they the best?

It's Been a Long,Long Time

I am enjoying my new car. I drove up to Rosalie's for Thanksgiving and it was perfect. I took a long vacation over Christmas and New Years and will be relating my adventures with photos on the next few posts. Enjoy!!

Done and done

Got the Prius yesterday -- it is dark gray. Very sophisticated, I think! I'm a happy driver. Pictures to follow.

Decisions, decisions

Toyota Prius


Honda Civic

I've decided to buy a new car. My old car is about 8 years old and is starting to bug me with all the little things going wrong. It is a 2001 Honda Accord I got the first week of 2001 and has over 116,000 miles on it. It still gets pretty good mileage, so the only sensible thing would be to get a hybrid, right?
I test drove two today -- the Honda Civic Hybrid and the Toyota Prius. The Prius drove smoother than the Civic, but the Civic is having a campaign with very low interest. It was pretty nice, too. I'm going to make a decision this week and drive it up to Rosalie's for Thanksgiving. Help!

My sister Rosalie sent this to me via email. I like it! Love those black cats.

Who would have believed?

They are sharing the cat tree!!

Bella seems to put up with Max's antics. She's getting a lot more exercise.

A New Addition

Just got him on Friday. He is 12 weeks old and he came with the name Antonio. Don't think I'm keeping that! He was feral a couple of months ago, so he's a little wary, but LOVES to be petted. Purrs like a high performance engine when you touch him, much less pet him. More later!
