Goodbye Norma Jean....

Last night I was singing "Diamonds are a girl's best friend" and Ally started questioning me, saying that cats were a girl's best friend and not diamonds. I found the Marilyn Monroe rendition on YouTube to show Ally. There is also a video of footage taken before Marilyn Monroe died, with Paul Simon's song playing in the background. I was so inspired to write a "Goodbye Rooster Boys", as our roosters are no longer with us. I'll have to include a line or two about how Chip the dog licked Rooster Sam to death before he de-feathered him. And then for Rooster Agape, how my dad put him in a cat carrier and we agreed to not ask any questions upon his return as to the whereabouts of above said rooster. I'll work on the song a bit, and then get back to you.....

Katie is now a decade old!

On November 12th, Katie turned 10! And what better than to have 10 donuts with 10 candles! (Grams was in town, so donuts was the obvious choice!) That evening we went to The Cheesecake Factory and celebrated with mom and dad. It was so fun to have them here! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KATIE!!!!

Yorba Linda Fires

This was the view from our house. At this point I got into the car to see how close it was, not knowing whether we needed to start packing things up. It was still a couple of miles away at this point. Scary times.
