Sweet Pea

One of my teenager cats... Sweet Pea was born May 29, 2008 and found in a woodpile cord still attached alone. I bottle raised her and got her through some throat issues which caused an eating disorder. I had 26 foster kittiens over the Summer. I kept Sweet Pea, Petra, and Roscoe from that batch. All had "issues" but are seemingly none the worse for the wear now... If you overlook the little things like one ruined eye, and undersized Sweet Pea and Roscoe who always has a cold! :) I now have two bottle raised babies nearly ten weeks old...found in a litter newborn in the road in November. I will post pics of them eventually. Altogether I have eight cats. I might decide to place the babies and bring in two older "hard to place" cats from the Rescue place. Everyone wants babies and they are easy to place this time of year (relatively) in good homes. So; I may just take a couple young cats...like about three to five. I have three seniors now, and three teens, and two babies.

OK all...enjoy! Off to work on some other computer things!

You have to check this out!

Brings me back down memory lane. When I was a child I started singing in church...in choirs...then all the way into my twenties it continued. I sang in church choirs and in school choirs even making all-state chorus. Anyhow; wish I could still sing. This song brings back memories because it is one of the first I ever sang. Did not realize Alan Jackson did this sort of thing. I will be looking for a CD of his with this on it. This is awesome! You just have to check out this link! :) Enjoy! I sure did! Brings tears to my eyes...

Joey Dee & Me

Did I ever tell you one of my favorite stories? Well; I will tell you that someday before I am toooo old and he is even older, I hope to be able to sit in on a performance of Joey Dee & The Starlighters AGAIN. You see; many years ago, more than I care to count. I was a young lady living in a little city in NY. I had an apartment with a girlfriend. I was approximately 21-years-old. I LOVED to dance. I LOVED music in general as I still do (have you seen my playlist?). Anyhow; for quite a time, Joey Dee & The Starlighters used to play at a little place just down my little street called the Cabaret. They were regulars there and so were Sherry L. Kellogg and myself. :) They would sing and play and we would dance. Sometimes with them, particularly my "juiced" girlfriend Sherry! We would sit with them on their breaks. I highly doubt that they would remember me but I definitely never will forget those nights of dancing and talking with them at the Cabaret in Olean, NY. Someday I will see them again. Someday I will know far enough ahead that they will be playing at the Mohegan Sun in the Wolf Den and will get to see them again. I know they are alot older. Some of do age. But; well it happens to the best of us and some memories deserve revisiting in more than just our minds.
