Chasing Squirrels

I have a bird feeder in our front yard that sits in front of the kitchen window.   I think Rex and Fritz get just as much enjoyment out of it as I do.

Not only do they get to sit inside and talk smack to the birds, but they also get to fantasize about catching a squirrel.

When they do get outside, they will stalk up close, get all wound up, and then give the squirrels a good chase - or not.

It has become obvious that the squirrels really are not that afraid of them, and the cats are much more interested in stalking & chasing versus catching.

I think the whole process adds up to good fun for all.  The cats, the squirrels, and me!    :)

Riding Outside

 It's that time of the year when I put on my plastic fenders, and if the roads are not too icy....

I put on every heavy layer of bicylce gear I have and enjoy some outside time.

I won't lie, there are times when the sun doesn't come out, the head wind follows you everywhere, and you just plain suffer.

Come on long hot dry days of summer!

Christmas Gifts from my Mom

My mother is quite the quilter, and she has made Joey and me numerous fun items for us to enjoy.

Like this beautiful table pad that she gave us this christmas.

She also made a special quilt pad for on top of the filing cabinet in our office for the boys!

If Fritz had thumbs, I am sure he would give it two thumbs up!

Thanks Mom!
