Barn Cats Invade the Inkwell
My youngest son and I are blogging about Barn Cats over at Inkwell Inspirations today.
Come on over and tell us if you like cats.
ACFW Dallas 2012
I went to Dallas, Texas in Sept and although I didn't see much of the city itself, I really enjoyed my trip to the American Christian Fiction Writers annual conference. I'm posting a day-by-day diary of my trip over on my writing blog and so far, have posted these days: - Going to Dallas : Travelling from Regina to Dallas and my first impressions - ACFW Dallas Wed : Meeting author friends and venturing away from the hotel The following photos are different from the ones over on my Woven Under Western Skies writing blog , but if you want to see pics of the conference itself and my author friends, you should check it out. Dawn breaks at 6:22 am Sep 19th, 2012 at the DFW airport in Dallas, TX. Looking toward Dallas from my 8th floor room in the DFW Hyatt Regency. Using the 700mm zoom on my Nikon Coolpix P500 camera, brings the Dallas skyline closer. Anita Mae Draper standing in front of the Love & War in Texas restaurant in Grapevine, Texas, Sept 21, ...
hi anita
ReplyDeletei missed you and JJ blogging yesterday over at the Inkwell about cats.
i've never been much of a cat person per se. having a mom who grew up on a farm, cats and dogs were "working" animals and not really pets. the cats were all barn cats - which are the kind i do like because they do keep the pest population down.
as a "cityfolk" person, i don't like having a pet unless I know i can spend quality time with said pet. cats don't need that much attention but still...
anyhoo, just wanted to jot a note to say i enjoyed the blogging of you and yours. i think that is so neat. i hope someday my relationship with Guppy will be similar.
oooh, do NOT like cats. Tried one once, and he bounced off the walls, jumped on my baby's head...
ReplyDeleteToo nervous and independent for me!!

I hear you Deb. It made sense when times were tough but there's a lot to be said for the companionship of animals, too.
ReplyDeleteAnd with all the cat bylaws coming out these days, it's not fair to the cats to start tying them up when they're not used to it, either.
Deb, you reminded me of when my eldest was a teen and we'd cruise the fabric stores together. One time, a lady stopped us from 'oohing' over some silky fabric and this lady said she wished her daughter shared her interests like mine did.
I dunno. I can't promise Guppy will but if you raise him in the Light, he'll want to spend time with you no matter what.
And I'll be praying for you on this wonderful journey you're embarking on, too.
Patty, I was very nervous bringing my baby home after having just one child and the cat alone for about 7 yrs. I was worried the cat would sit on the baby's face or try to lick the smell of milk off her. The cat didn't do anything like that at all. It just kept sitting on my head when she wanted me to get up and feed her. LOL
ReplyDeleteBut yes, I like it when we don't have a cat in the house.
