I can't believe it's been over a year

Sincere apologies, friends, for the long gap between posts. I can only confess that I totally suck at blogging, and poor Travis has to deal with a lack of thumbs, or he would do it himself.  LOL

Everyone and everything is fine.  Hope you're all doing well!

Quiet here

I see I still have no followers. Probably because I suck at updating my blog! News: I am on the path to a Vegan diet. I can't reconcile the eating of flesh any longer. It's hard, but I can do it! If anyone reads, please let me know?  UPDATE January 1, 2018: Transition to Vegan was an epic fail. BUT, I DID manage to eliminate beef and pork.

Goodnight, my sweet Siggie...and see you later Pop.

Siggie has left me for the Rainbow Bridge. He passed away on February 15, 2012 at the age of 11 years. I miss him terribly. What a blessing he was to me. Such a cuddle bug. The group dynamic with the remaining 4 cats has changed, and it's just not the same anymore....although Guinevere is STILL as intolerant of Travis as she ever was. Surprisingly, Travis does NOT like the babycat. Kimiko joined the pride in December 2011. My Pop passed away December 26, 2011 at the age of 87 years. Rest in peace, Daddy, and save me a seat at the banquet table!

Lunch is almost over

I literally have 10 minutes to write this and get back to work! I'm reading a book titled "Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy". Very interesting. It explains Orthodoxy and compares it to everything else -- so it defines what Orthodoxy agrees with in other denominations as well as what Orthodoxy does NOT agree with. When I'm done with this one, I'm going to tackle the biography of Father Seraphim Rose. It's thick. But I'm looking forward to it! My "boys" are sleeping on the bed behind me....the "girls" are in the other room. I think Travis and Siggie just want to keep an eye on me! LOL Hugs!

Too cool

Just for fun, I was poking around on facebook and I decided to send a short note to Michael O'Leary, who used to play Rick Bauer on The Guiding Light. This daytime soap was my absolute favorite, and I followed it for over 30 years, beginning in the mid 70's, when I would watch it after school with my mother. I didn't send him a friend request or anything (I don't want to come across like some crazy stalker fan) but I DID tell him how much I missed seeing him on GL. I actually got a note back! Pretty cool! I told him he should have a fans page, because I can't possibly be his only fan.

A shameless plug
