I guess having 2 new kitties is worse than having new babies!! I promise I won't show tooooo many pics of them! They are getting more familiar with the house daily and taking over the living room!!

Little Babe is letting me hold her now, and doesn't run away ALL the time! She purred for the first time today! Hurrah!!

Here they are on top of their condo! Ain't love grand! I call a vet tomorrow to "fix" Sammie!! before it's too late!! What he doesn't know, won't hurt him, or us!

Sammy is growing f a s t !! Cats are a bundle of fun now, but Babe is still a bit afraid--she plays in the living room now though and they "roam" during the night!

One guess at what this is!! Rock's problem kidney stone!! He feels fine now----of course! It isn't a crystal like usual, but breaks up, so is calcium.

Went to Home Depot and got my bedding plants today. These are 2 upside down cherry tomato plants!! I hope to get hundreds of tomatoes from them! They sure are heavy!

This is a night blooming cerus cactus that a friend gave me a few yrs ago. I planted it hoping the yard man wouldn't destroy it!! It has done well, and smells glorious! The blooms last one day only, and close even if you pick them!

Here's how it looks now. We had 3 palm trees, but the middle one died this summer. Rock pushed against it a little and it fell over!! Good thing it didn't fall against the house!

Here they are!! Sammy the Siamese and Babe the Tolkinese!! They are "fraidy cats" at the moment, but will come around tomorrow! They love being petted and fussed over, but of course, are in a new environment and it will take a little time to get used to it. The Tolkinese is half Burmese and half Siamese. What fun we are about to have!!!!!!!!!

Oh, dear, I just repeated a picture!! I knew I was getting older, but not THAT old!!! hahahahahahaha

Ken gave us the loin of the deer he got in GA---we ate it last night! Had a little sweet potato and fresh apple with it! It MELTED in our mouths! Ken knows I only like the "best part" of a deer!! Rock even liked it, as you can see he has a large portion!

This is the first picked ruby red grapefruit in our backyard! One of our numerous key limes here also. The grapefruit will be SWEETER in December and later! BUT, this one isn't too bad! and never more than 2-3 seeds!!

Rock and Roger on the deck swing! We spend a lot of time there!

Back in FLORIDA!!! and sunshine, warm, and water, and shore birds, and, and, and!!!!! Our ruby red grapefruit--first one picked today, and it was delicious! Another month or so, and they will be MUCH sweeter!

Many key limes on the ground now-will take a bag full to the "retiree's picnic" Sunday---(from fire department) Baked a pineapple upside down cake too! Looks yummy!

Our last days at the cabin----Lorraine and Roger's visit was great! Went places with Lorraine that I have wanted to go to for quite a while---knew Rock wouldn't like it! Even made a few purchases!
