These Are The Days of Our Lives

When you gotta go, you gotta go!

It's a looooong drive from Fortuna to Carlsbad. With two little girls in the backseat, there's a lot of stopping along the way. I'm an impatient mother, and finding a private place to 'go' just seemed unnecessary. When Talullah said she had to go, we simply stopped the car and let her go. It's all about saving time.

Goodbye, sweet Olivia

We found a good new home for baby kitty cat. I was so sad to see her go, but the opportunity came up for another family who recently lost their cat to take her. She was such a good cat... except for her inability to use the litter box. We will miss her fiesty loving very much.

Future Super Star

As much as I hate it...

I just love it to pieces. We've had this cat for maybe two weeks. For some reason, it has chosen our bed as the litter box of choice. I have had to scrub the bed and change the blankets at least half a dozen times. If we can't solve the problem this week, the cat is a goner. Praying for a miracle, because look at what a cutie she is!

Happy 4th of July!

Wish, oh wish we could have gone out of town for the whole weekend, but we still enjoyed the 4th of July. We walked the booth's in

Old Town. Once Miss T finally woke up to enjoy the festivities, she got her face painted and went in the petting zoo. Among the baby pig, sheep, goat, and tiny horse, the chickens were by far her favorite. After all that we drove out to the Salmon Creek Ranch to visit with the Chapmans. Mark & Tammy, Eric & Johanna, Rebekah and Cameron, and Mike & Annette were all there. We sat basking in the sun enjoying a delicious dinner and good conversation. Since I had yet to see them, we left the girls with Grammy and hiked down to the waterfalls. Simply breathtaking! Tammy broke out a slip 'n slide and poured cooking oil on them in hopes of making for a more slippery slide. In hindsight, this was not such a good idea.
