Catzilla...King of the Felines

You probably are wondering why I write about my pet Moishe. Well, because he is a part of my life..Its like having another child :) Moishe is a Yellow Seal point Siamese. He weighs 13+ pounds and is slightly cross eyed. Seriously, this cat is amazing. He was the runt of the litter when my mom rescued him and brought him home and now hes weighs more than most newborn babies!


Moishe posses and intellect not seen in most animals. When he wants out, he tells you. He has a specific Meow and goes to the back door and waits for me to let him out. He sits on his haunches and begs for food. He "talks" back when you talk to him.
He is just a remarkable animal. I feel lucky to have him as a part of my life.


Animals bring such joy into the lives of others. They are companions, children, and unconditional love. However, Cats own you, you do not own cats. "Thousands of years ago, cats were worshipped as gods. Cats have never forgotten this." - Anonymous



Cats Sleep Anywhere
Cats sleep anywhere, any table, any chair.
Top of piano, window-ledge, in the middle, on the edge.
Open draw, empty shoe, anybody's lap will do.
Fitted in a cardboard box, in the cupboard with your frocks.
Anywhere! They don't care! Cats sleep anywhere.

Blueberries, Friends, Summertime, and Stinkbugs :)

Yesterday I went blueberry picking with two great friends. It was this great blueberry patch owned by an elderly lady. The blueberries were plump and juicy and the price was amazing..60 cents a pound. You won't find a price like that in any grocery store or even a farmers market! I can just imagine all the goodies that can be made out of these delicious berries.
The company was also fabulous...just us girls..no children. We laughed so hard that my jaws still hurt. It felt really good and freeing. Just imagine, uninterrupted conversation..no " Mom..mom..mooooom..momma!!! Hey " :) Even though one of my friends thought it would be funny to flick "unworthy" berries at me and later on flicked a huge bug on me too, it was a blast. The humidty killed, I was soaked to the skin within minutes, but what else would you expect in Southern Alabama?
The stinkbugs were huge and stinky :) Of course!
Yet, despite the heat and bugs, this is one of the moments I will treasure the most. A truely perfect summer day,spent with wonderful friends, sweet treats and yes even the bugs. :)
Now whose gonna make some blueberry crisp?

In this Life you need 3 things to suceed..a wish bone, a backbone and a funny bone

As I sit here...blogging..of course...I am surrounded by a whirlwind of chaos and noise. Its a wonder I can even think. :) I only have two children, twins, but they are like having mini tasmanian devils in the house. However, these children changed my life for the better. I was guided from the wrong road and lead to set my feet upon the solid rock. "Your word is like a lamp to my feet and a light for my path" Psalms 119: 105. Yet I still have doubts and all the worries that I have learned through other mothers actually do have( see its not just me! :) ) through a wonderful organization called MOPS - Mothers of Preschoolers. We recently held a Leadership summit and learned about what our worst fear was and also what our passion was...My fear was failure. I fear failing God, my children, myself, my family and friends and people in general. My Passion was Happiness...I long to be happy...happy with my life, myself, my relationships, my walk with God. I also discovered a longing or calling in my heart for humanitarian services...maybe one day. I will pray about it and maybe God will send me the answer. So this blog is about me trying to live with Simple Courage in the everyday. I will live with Passion and not be passive! We will see how it goes! :)
