Ugg.... I feel a headache coming on...

Hmmm.... maybe if I apply pressure the headache will go away...

Okay...I think that is helping - now just turn off the lights and I shoud be fine soon!

Poor Zee! Don’t worry – we all have days like this! Just get some rest and before you know it, you’ll be back to watching birds out the window!

Mia, you come home right now young lady...

There’s no denying it, the weather has been quite temperamental lately. Hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, droughts, fires, and tornados have all made an appearance somewhere across the states in the past few months. The other night I was watching TV and the local news station interrupted broadcasting to let me know there was a tornado warning in effect from 9:15 pm until 10:45 pm. They interrupted again to let me know the warning was extended to 6:00 am… talk about going to bed with a strong sense of foreboding and dread.

Luckily I woke up to find the house was safe and secure, but it got me to thinking about preparing for these events. Some of them we are given warning and we can plan, others, like an earthquake, often come out of nowhere… This got me thinking about my cats, and I realized that on the very rare occasion when Dan and I travel for an overnight event together and we require a cat-sitter, we (I) prepare for the occasion as if a natural disaster is about to occur.

I am so excited to be guest posting on Mason Canyon’s Book Review Site, “Thoughts in Progress” today, but I have to admit it was a bit overwhelming at first. When I asked her what the topic should be about and what the word length should be, she said, “Whatever you want and as long as you want.”  Oh boy… she did realize she was talking to a perennially wordy author, right?

Once I got over the concern of a lack of guidelines, I really began to enjoy the process of writing for a new audience and I decided the best topic for me to introduce myself to new readers, was “How Does One Become an Author?” I hope you will all take the time to drop by Mason’s site to read the post. I promise you, even though it is something a little different for me, I still mention my beloved kitties!  Please click here to be directed to the post. 

We like Wordless Wednesday as well as Whiskers Wednesday… we thought we would combine both with these beautiful retro looking pictures.

Mia and her lovely whiskers...

Handsome Rolz pondering the world with his beautiful whiskers...

Mia is grooming her sister, Peanut. The lighting and black & white effect really makes the whiskers stand out.

It’s in the air… something’s happening…
