The new addition
Our family, like most homeschool families, has had an array of animals one might call pets. We've had
- a salamander
- about 10 cats at one time or another
- a dog
- raised a baby robin
- all sorts of spiders
- one of those bright red shiny furry ant/wasp things
- turtles
- a frog here and there
- fish
- mice
- and even considered a horse once
It has taken me a long time to weed our cats down to just 2----Fred (the 18 pound monstrosity) and Cruiser (the neighbors stray cat that somehow became ours). Fred and Cruiser happily co exist with Sparky, our dog, who by the way weighs 1/2 of what Fred does.
So you can imagine my surprise when three weeks ago my husband and 2 boys come home from football practice with a stray cat that they found on the football field. An 8 week old, flea infested, sweet little tabby kitten. The fact that my husband let her in his truck at all is a miracle to me. He's not a big cat fan. When we married he inherited my cat with me. Since that time, 13 years ago, I think we've had about 10 cats.
So here is our newest addition.....Raider (an appropriate name for a girl cat found on The Raider's football field). Don't you think??
Sweet and asleep last night after playing outside and climbing trees all day....
And just for comparison.....a photo beside Fred who was none too happy about being dragged out from under the bed where he was fast asleep for a photo-op.
At the last weigh in Fred was close to 18 pounds and Raider was 2.2 lbs.
Gray tabbies must really like us, huh? |

Almost over...
Well, football season is drawing to an end. We start playoffs on Saturday. It's been a tough season. We've lost most of our games but both boys have played well.
My dad just had a hip replacement. He's doing well and comes home on Friday.
Tomorrow is field trip day.
YEA!!
Today we're plugging through school work. It's rainy and cold.
Keep warm! |

Football
'Tis the season....
of campfires,
marshmellows,
the tv set up outside,
teke torches ( I have no idea how to spell that)
and football!!
Our oldest son is a running back and I'm so proud of the way he jukes his way through a field of offending tacklers!!!
Here he is at a recent game....
Oh, and I guess it would help you if I told you he's the one with the ball #23
For some reason "You Can't Catch Me I'm the Gingerbread Man" runs through my head when I watch him run.
You go son! Mom and Dad need all the scholarships they can get to send you guys to college!!! |
