About Me

My photo
I live on 6 deeply wooded acres in the boonies of Middleville, MI. I'm married to an amazing man, Brian. He's pretty much the best thing that has ever happened to me. I'm a big animal lover. I have 5 cats; Bella (6), Cognac (3), Georgia (3), Maggie (2), & Auggie (8-9mos.) We recently lost our kittens, Aesop & Amelia, to a battle with Feline Leukemia. I feel the need to mention them. They were amazing beings that showed unconditional love like no other cats I've had. I also have Cheech (9) that I'm fostering. We have two puppies; Charlie & Henry. Having a blast! I'm a dabbler in photography, photo shop, & crafts. I'm kind of a bookworm/nerd/geek. Yes, I have read the Twilight Series. No, I'm not obsessed. I love Shakespeare, Nathaniel Hawthorne, C.S. Lewis, and L. Frank Baum - among others, obviously.

Pupdate

Hello all,

There isn't much news to report at the moment. I've been seriously slacking lately in the picture department. But I do have some recent pictures of Charlie and Henry. Recently Brian and I decided to take a chance and just give them free reign of the whole house. Oh yes, we're crazy. Charlie and Henry are doing pretty good actually. They try to play a little rough with a cat here and there... But for the most part, they just wrestle with each other and cuddle. We cleaned up our basement a couple weekends ago and put up a little puppy fence down there so they can't "investigate" the cat boxes. But they LOVE running and playing in the basement. And it's great for us because Brian can work on something down there while I hop on the exercise bike. :) Here are a few pictures (some are action shots) that I got of them while they were playing:

It works out great for us to have them play down there. They are becoming more trustworthy.

Also, here's a super adorable picture of Maggie.

Big Boy Hair Cuts ... And A Recipe I Tried!

Well, I'm trying to post more often.

Charlie and Henry got big boy haircuts yesterday and they look super adorable. All fluffy and grown up.

I could only get a good one of Charlie's...

Here's Henry's too!

So handsome!

It's hard to believe that they were only this big 6 months ago...

They are getting smarter and smarter every day.

Brian and I are pretty excited about a new crockpot recipe that we tried today. So, I thought I'd share with you. :)

Here's the salmon fillet being prepped...

And two hours later it was on my plate!

Brian and I could not believe how moist and tender it cooked the salmon. I would make this recipe over and over again! :)

That's all for now!
