New Kid on the Block

It seems my Baltimore family has gone over to the dark side (cats to dog) and adopted this handsome critter. Named, Tiger, he is about 6 months old and one large whirling dervish....he has 4 cats to chase and terrorize and lots to bark at, but he is very affectionate, and after some mistreatment in his first life, he has come to a very loving home.
Tiger was last seen turning round and round in circles on his mistress's bed, as he barked at a cowering cat, Rusty, in a bedtop corner. I have a feeling Rusty, who comes from a roughscrabble beginning, and is half the size of a normal cat due to early malnutrition, will rise to the occasion and take charge of Tiger soon with one claw swipe across his nose.
The sun is shining in my world this morning.....clean cool air and a sense of joy is creeping in around the edges.
Blogger is still erratic!

Wordless Wednesday

Well, almost wordless.....Basking Baby! She holds the secret to my rejuvenation and I plan to indulge this weekend.

For Now

My loved ones and friends....pardon me while I recover my aplomb!
I'm not sure if it's that life is not treating me so well, or that I am not treating it quite right....I'll be musing, missing you, and promise to return.

List of Excuses

Just being honest here....

• Blogger has been impossible and remains so
• Accidents
• Healing
• Pain - emotional and otherwise
  
• Possession purging
• Way too much stress
• Way too little use of my usual coping methods
• A dearth of patience
• Tornadoes
• No time with my LM, or at least time that counts
• Too little quiet
• Missing Ms G
• Adult children making bad choices, and some just hurting...a helpless frustrating feeling.
  

Not enough time to list all the rest.
Just want everyone to know I'm still here even if Blogger only likes to allow me snippets of time to post. It sure seems to have time to delete things and make photos disappear but I do not have time to investigate.
LM's been fishing every night and caught record numbers this year
I'm really OK.....going to spend time with Teddy and Samantha tomorrow....how could life be any better than that? We'll be cavorting in the lovely rhododendron collection at Heritage Museum and Gardens in Sandwich, and also riding the carousel.
There may be pictures!
