Oh boy! I totally forgot about sending the next write-up on the Hood River Scenic Drive. So here’s Part 2.
The surprise stop in the fruit loop was the alpaca farm called Foothills Yarn & Fiber. A stop there meant yarns had to be bought, of course.
But the alpacas were deliciously cute and cuddly. In [...]

Sweet Sixteen! Today!
Alas, all we have are memories. Great memories!
Jake misses you ~ because Jake misses the time he steals your share of the food bowl. haha!
I miss you because you were such a part of our family. Adaptable, malleable, and just one awesome ’people’ cat. Everyone who knew you, loved you. Except maybe the one [...]

Hello! My name is Jake!
I’m the only cat around now. I miss my cat friend, Tom. I’m having difficulty adjusting to this loneliness. To divert attention, I lick myself to oblivion. If not for the loving care of my human caregivers, I would be hairless by now.
Where is he? Where did he go?
His birthday is [...]

Columbia River Gorge, a powerful river sandwiched between Washington and [...]

Tompkin Maroon passed away yesterday. He was 15.75 years old.
It was sudden. And that’s what’s make it hard to accept.
It was a decision to put an end to an unbearable pain.
Oh sweet, lovable, huggable, ‘lap’pable, adorable, super-popular neighborhood cat to humans. Terror to other cats.
Farewell to you!
WE MISS YOU SO MUCH! WE LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH!
Farewell [...]

I have fallen off the fast-moving knitting wagon. Let me assure everyone (that is, if anyone is still out there checking out my blog), that I may have fallen off but I’m brushing off the dirt, hobbling, scrambling to climb back up the wagon. It’s a race to get back on it.
Speaking of race………Yup! The [...]

…the week before the Marathon
Here’s last week’s diary:
Tuesday, April 21st
I did an 7-miler with someone who happens to have damaged spinal nerves and would not join in the marathon. She’s amazingly upbeat, but then she’s totally and heavily medicated. It took us 1.75 hours to finish. That in itself is a BOOST to the ego. [...]

Six-thirty in the morning. That is considered early to wake up on a weekend, don’t you think? And that’s the time I got up today, early enough for some quiet time to continue trying to finish the Falling Leaves project. See this post. I kept quiet so as not to disturb Mr. Wonderful and the [...]

Darn that groundhog! Actually, I think it’s cruelty to animals to have a hibernating groundhog plucked from its burrow (para satisfacer a algunos ESTUPIDOS humanos tradicion) of predicting the seasons. It’s almost always, the groundhog predicts 6 more weeks of winter. It never fails!There’s a reason why: when the human official of groundhog day takes him out, what [...]
