Our house

Here is Mother Cat, one of the 8 outside cats that was brought over to our new place because Linda could not take that they would go hungry. Mother Cat was sleeping on the roof of the shed over at the other place and here I guess she feels "at home" sleeping in the fireplace. We have two of her offsprings but one is so wild that she will not let us go near her.


It is so neat to be able to come by the new place which I do occasionally when my schedule has me driving in the area. I can park this close to the front porch (at the other place I had to park a block over on a street with more width than the one we lived on which was very narrow).


Here is Snowball getting her beauty rest. She is sleeping upstairs in a special room more for storage. The end table has now been repaired and it is kinda neat to have a room like this to do repair work.


Our son Bobo was sending us handmade flowers with his letters he wrote us when he was in Gulfport, Mississippi. He made these out of very common materials from candy wrappers and colors from toothpaste best we could understand how he did it. His grandmother on Linda's side had such talent and I will have to take pictures of some of his grandmother's artwork.


Another view of our stairs which still kinda fascinate us considering we lived in flat Florida and flat North Carolina for so many years.


Here is one side of our two story house.


And the other side.


Inside on our front porch. The cats wait every morning to go "outside" when we get up.


Here is Lucy sleeping on the mantle in the middle room downstairs where we have our computer set up. The two items on the right end of the mantle is my old toy car and toy projector. They are over 60 years old now. To the left of Lucy is our old black box camera (in a wrapper) that took pictures of all of us when we were kids on the Sontag farm.


This is our oldest cat, Sweetie or Sweet Cat. She will be 18 years old soon. She is particularly blind but she still has that mean streak when she knows another cat is in her personal space, she hauls off and wacks the crap out of anybody too close. We certainly misnamed her!
