In the Kitchen

ITK- still kindof mad I got the ticket. I'm usually pretty patient with truck drivers(hubby drives), but this guy made me nervous. Our area is a nightmare during the summer. all tourists, not knowing where they are going or not caring that they are going 10-20 mph under the speed limit. Do they not realize that people that live here are trying to get to work, appointments, etc. THEY drive me crazy.

texasgirl, thank you! I think of you on regular basis and only wish the best for you. You are such a well meaning person and sometimes hearing the disappointment you have to go through really hurts me. Just take good care of yourself. You surely deserve it. I do mean it. you are better than 10 other people I know.

Of course we're already friends!! lol I just couldn't believe I didn't already have you on my list.

You ARE blessed! And I am happy for it. Having that much ground is considered a blessing when you would have neighbors like mine. However, maybe the time is changing as a lady who is divorced lives alone just bought house close to mine. I gave her my phone number and told her to call if she needs help. She asked me how people were around here and I told her, 'I think I have lived here too long to notice difference'. Must have kind of confused her because I really didn't say whether they were good or bad. She seems like the type of people that used to live here before all these 'trendy' ones moved in. Having more ground would definitely be asset for anyone, even if there were good neighbors don't want to overstep your welcome anywhere. M y one brother moved to country to get away from nosy neighbors now since his wife died and he remarried this wife made him move back into the city. I often wondered why he seemed so depressed after he got married because he wanted to be where he was more private. He even built his own house and this wife didn't like it cause first wife lived there. Some guy told me, if I build a house they would have to carry me out. Guess I knew what his point was, my brother a fool! My brother never did like to argue wanted to keep peace but then he doesn't live his life. Right?

We live on an acre, so it works out great for Cubbie. Our kitties (Carlos Zambrano and Tony Gwynn) are indoor cats. They were born outside to one of our two mostly wild kitties, but I caught them a couple months ago and brought them in. They are both very sweet and rambunctious. Typical brothers--one minute they are trying to kill each other (or so it seems!) and the next, they are "hugging' each other!

Yes, we have a German Shepherd Dog and two orange tabby kitties (brothers).

Hey ITK.. just wanted to stop by and say that I'm thinkin of you. Try not to be blue! Anytime I feel bummed, I seek the love of my doggies!!! Chin up sweetie! Sunshine is commin your way!!!

just goes to show you have feelings, even for small bird. You just wonder why the people today have gotten so callous and not even concerned for one another? anyone of us could be gone tomorrow and how would they feel then? Thanks for trying to help this bird make it another day. Just seems that it was inevitable with the street situation. Kind of strange.

ITK... I know that had to make you feel bad. I'm sorry about the bird feeder accident. That is just sad. Thanks for understanding and supporting me! I can't believe how crushed I feel!

Thanks for the karma sweetie!!!!!
