Every time I read him, I want to read more, more, more.<br /><br />Huz made it home fine. He was really beat, though. Next trip is Italy. I am only mildly envious, since it's going to be a quick hop and he'll be in a tiny village that doesn't even appear in the tour guides.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-90200589785711299772012-01-21T15:28:48.806-06:002012-01-21T15:28:48.806-06:00I really love having two cats because they do play...I really love having two cats because they do play with each other. Since mine are so freaking active, I appreciate the two of them running off a bit of energy. <br /><br />Earplugs are such a surprisingly delightful toy for cats, aren't they? I love watching Izzy play with hers. <br /><br />Aw, poor Casey. So, does she not mind water? It's cute when Isabel plays with water but she's made a few mistakes and we both got soaked. One time she jumped into the toilet while it was flushing and popped right back out. Hilarious.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-44181736296164392172012-01-21T15:26:25.996-06:002012-01-21T15:26:25.996-06:00Thanks, Amy!

He took a little video of the flames and flashing lights.

The guy wears ear plugs at his job and when he brings some home with him we have one delighted cat. Casey is not very happy right now because she wants someone to pick her up, but somehow she got herself all wet... I am guessing the pot soaking in the kitchen sink. Since I never actually caught her on the counter, though, I am pretending otherwise.Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-9745749372372776452012-01-21T10:25:58.260-06:002012-01-21T10:25:58.260-06:00Oh gosh that is adorable. lol.

He had an urge to back up. LOL And, thank you, I do feel better. <br /><br />Cats are great entertainment, aren't they?

It took about an hour to get the fire put out and everything checked and cleared, so he was totally exhausted when he arrived. Luggage, clothing and papers are flung across my living room floor. I just left them there because I don't know what the heck to do with husband's stuff!<br /><br />LOL Yep, that does seem to be the way it works out! Poor Fiona. She has loads of personality but she really is a little bit cowed by Isabel.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1300256929684718682012-01-20T17:01:01.030-06:002012-01-20T17:01:01.030-06:00Wow!

In fact, she's getting a little chunky.

I'm on about page 22 (I went ahead and started it) and I'm finding that I like her light, chatty style but the descriptions of sweets are making me feel a little ill. I can't handle a lot of sugar. Apparently, foodie books about nothing but chasing down good chocolate and cake shops might not be the thing for me.<br /><br />Husband was very lucky. He was driving along at regular highway speed when two highway patrol cars shot around him and blocked off the road. Had he kept going, he might have been in big trouble. As it was, he stopped somewhere between 100-200 feet of the truck. He said the nice thing about being at the front of the line after an accident is that there's nobody in your way for miles. LOL<br /><br />Sometimes Isabel attacks a little clip thing on the fridge but if she ever attacks the actual refrigerator, I think we're going to need to find a cat psychologist. She is a very entertaining cat, that's for sure!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-63375840852242198402012-01-20T11:26:00.609-06:002012-01-20T11:26:00.609-06:00She needs accompaniment, a choir, a slave who will...She needs accompaniment, a choir, a slave who will stop joking about her.

Can't make it's mind up between sunny or gloomy.<br /><br />The Empire of the Summer Moon is about Quanah Parker, the last Comanche chief, and the downfall of the Comanches. Texans vs. Comanches are only a part of the book, but apparently it was the Texans who decided to fight Indian style (on horseback, with the word "exterminate" in mind). Prior to that, the Comanches were an unbeatable, cruel foe. The book is excellent; it's just got a lot of descriptions of torture killings.
