Tales From the Bleachers

I'm Not a Crazy Cat Lady!

Mykids are so worried that I'm going to become a crazy cat lady as I get older.  And since I'm turning 50!!!!!!!!!! next month.........

The reason for this post is to share pictures of my cat, Rosie.  I'm sure I've shared before, but I'm doing it again.  She really is the best kitty in the whole world!  She had become more mellow in her "old age".  She's about 12 now but you would never believe if you saw her.  She is aging well.  Not like poor Sassy-the 16 year old.  All she lived for now is to eat.  And sleep.  And then eat again.  Eat, sleep, repeat is her motto!

So her she is and then I will share a fun story.  I know you can't wait!

 

 

 

 

Okay, if I haven't bored you with pictures of my cat, here's the story.  Lat week I was in my scrap room.  It is at the far end of the house, upstairs.  We try to keep Rosie in at night so we don't have to worry about her getting in a fight.  Lots of kitties in this neighborhood.  I was just getting ready to go down to call her and I hear her meowing and heading up to see me, which she does every evening.  Her meowing was a little intense and just as I was getting up to go see why, she popped into my room.  All I really saw was the tail hanging out of her mouth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  She'd brought me a present and was so excited to show me!  And what did I do??  SCREAM!!!  Can't help it.  So she drops it.  And it goes running down the hall.  Jim has made his way up stairs and is trying to get her to pick it up again.  The men in my life believe in "catch and release".  I don't.  Unfortunatley for him and the mouse I guess,  she started to chow down on him.  Poor little thing!  Way to much excitment for me. And thank heaven for Jim!

Do you think I'm a crazy cat lady?

Happy June!!

Can you believe that May is over?  It went so fast.  Too fast inmy opinion.  But then, weather wise, it wasn't all that great.  Hopefully June will be better.  We finally broke down and turned our air on tonight.  We came back from walks and bike rides and said "That's It!".  Uncle.

Reminisce has come out with a beautiful new line called "Under the Sea"  I had a great time creating a little mini album with it.

 

Last March, I took Molly and her friend to florida for their Senior Spring Break trip.  One afternoon we visited the Clearwater Marine Aquarium and spent time watching the dolphins.  LOVE dolphins.  In fact, when I was a kid, I wanted to be a Marine biologist.  Kind of hard to do when you are land locked!!

 

Here they are, riding the Jolly Trolley to the aquarium.

 

 

The girls spent most of the time in an underground observation tunnel.  There was one dolphin (at least we think it was the same one.  they kind of look alike!) kept swimming up to the window, stopping for a minute and then leaving again.  This went on for the longest time.  So cute.

 

Here, the girls got up close with the dolphins.  For a small fee, you could go out and "chat" with the dolphins for a few minutes.  I really didn't think the girls would be up for it.  It's really for the little kids, but they were all over it!  It really was fun and you gotta love a dolphin.  Maybe in my next life I will be a Marine Biologist.

Be sure to go to the Reminisce Site and check out this new line!  It truly is awesome.  they have so many 3-D embelishments and this great gold glitter paper.

Thanks for looking :)
