We adopted her yesterday.All we planned to do on Saturday was pick up some more fish for the tank and we ended up applying to adopt a cat.Crazy how things work sometimes.She’s almost 2 yrs old. She had the name Grace but we thought Gracie sounded a bit cuter.Both myself and J have cat allergies but only to certain cats.We had J pet the cat then rub his hands on his face. In the past, if he’s allergic, he’d start sneezing and getting itchy eyes almost immediately.No reaction.I also didn’t have any reaction.It was meant to be.She has very pretty markings.This is what she’s been doing most of today…basking in the sun, watching the birds and bugs fly around.Pretty simple life…The really strange thing was, in the adjoining cages there were cats named Halle and Tika….not very common names!! I have a cousin named Tika. It would have been just to strange to take that pair home…plus if they were anything like Tika and I, they’d have gotten into a lot of mischief. 🙂

I have no art to share…just my giddiness over the nice weather!It’s 81°F in Minnesota on March 16th!!!The funny part is that there is still ice on the lakes around here. Obviously not safe to be on but ice none the less.Have a wonderful weekend!I know I’m going to be enjoying the great outdoors while it lasts…being Minnesota…it could snow next week. 🙂

Over the past couple weeks our family tried to squeeze as much time out of what was left of summer as possible. We ended up doing and seeing things that we hadn’t ever as a family even though they are right around the cities. Stay-cationing, I believe is the hip term for that these days.
I’ll only highlight a few…The kids and I helped herd these sheep at a working farm that’s part of the local park system. It was quite funny…we were just there for a walk and to buy some produce and eggs when they asked if we could help. When do city kids get the chance to do something like that?!?
We stopped by beautiful Minnehaha Falls Park on our way to a museum one Saturday. Neither of us had been there since we were kids ourselves. It’s so beautiful that we have it on our list to see once more of the leaves start to change.After a walk around the falls area we went to a one of a kind military museum that is sadly scheduled to close at the end of the month. It really awesome to walk around all of those old vehicles…peek inside…
Of course, I took hundreds of pictures of a multitude of subjects in a multitude of other places but I won’t bore you with them all. I just wanted to say hello and that I’m back online…no thanks to our cable company who kept me offline for 5 days longer than I expected. GRRR!
Next time I’ll show you some new art…
