One of the coolest evenings spent in our current house involved a time machine. I was off for the summer, and my husband was coming home late from a contract job. On this particular evening, I was sitting outside and drinking tea, enjoying the weather and waiting for him to come home. Then I get […]
Read MoreI used to walk one of my cats around on a leash. His name was Tiger. I posted about him earlier here.
