Before children--this was (and still is) my baby, Sneaky. Yes, this is on my pillow-where he sleeps every night. I deal with the swish swish of the tail and the frantic yowling because I'm not getting to bed in time to suit him! Hummm, who runs the house??? Ted's favorite saying is "there's something not right with that cat--normal cats don't get that attached" Well, abnormal attracts abnormal. Summertime, the living is good and the redneck water slide comes out.

My kids--easily entertained by landing in a mud puddle!

Yippppeeeeee!

And summertime means late evenings and catching fireflies. Childhood is magic time.
