( Camping. Mom's story of a restaurant (before I was born). Dad's stories from college, as best I can remember them. )That's it for now, I think - there will be more later but for now my brain is all fuzzy and short on things. (Guess the cats shedding finally got in. They, by the way, are adapting decently. I think they'll favor the upstairs hall bathroom for good since that's where we introduced 'em to the house, but they'll venture downstairs now.)
And because I don't intend to be up at midnight: Happy New Year, everyone. I ask only one thing of the new year - please, less tragedy (for me and others both!) than 2006 carried. And I make only one resolution, but a big one: to try to take care of and be true to myself and my family.
And now, I think the cats are about to get shut in for the night. (We're still doing that for the moment - working on getting them to stay off the table and stuff. Also, I need to check whether all the plants we were given are poisonous to cats, what their care requirements are, etc., and trim the supply of potted plants down. At least all I have to do with flowers in vases is fill them with water and eventually toss them! I do love the plants, but at the moment I have a minor jungle on the island in the kitchen.)
