Miscellaneous Ramblings part II

Catchy title for a blog, eh? Where oh where did the month of April go? Same place March went I guess. This is one of those going nowhere blogs in case you haven't guessed yet. Our local major league baseball team sucks big time so far, season starts and the entire team except for one player goes into a batting slump, whole team is hitting like .200 so far, not good at all.

It's spring in the midwest here so one day it is 65 degrees and the next is it 82 and then the sky rumbles and lightning shoots all over and we get a downpour that lasts for 10 minutes and it begins to feel like a sauna.

Our income tax refund is gone already but we now can use our shower and bathtub again after 3 months of not having it, but now the bathroom sink drain clogs up!!! gotta go find my snake and try to unclog it.

the boys, our 3 yr old cats, Max and Owen are still as goofy as usual, they are like having a couple of kids around. I was talking with Keepers on the phone while I was at work today and i hear them say, "we don't know what happened in the basement...we heard something fall...then both cats came flying up the steps...right past me...and this is the different part...usually when they come flying up they stop when they see one of us and just kind of walk like we aren't supposed to notice how they flew up the steps...then they pick it up again after they get by us...but today they just flew by her and headed to the back bedroom where they stayed for about an hour!" Still haven't gone down in the basement to see what happened, not that brave yet.

Went to Red Lobster for dinner tonight, Shrimp Lover's Tuesday, 3 shrimp dishes for $11.99 includes salad and those wonderful cheddar biscuits! When we left Keepers said "You know we have never had bad service at Red Lobster" and we haven't! Oh yeah, always order some crab cakes also, delicious stuff.

I have to buy a new headlight for the car, bought new shoes tonight, old pair wore out, I know exciting stuff!!

Over at Keeperskorner some odd stuff was happening last week, seems to have ceased for now, I am very proud of keepers for holding their own and making it through what was a very difficult time for them. Waiting for Andrzej our webmaster to make some much needed changes to the menus for the site so we can expand it some more. Maybe by this weekend, keeping fingers crossed!!

That is all for now, nothing major, just some rambling words to let the four of you know I am still out here.

Happy trails pardners

Hey John,

Ramble on...we loved reading it! Sometimes seeing the normalcy of life is just what people need.

We would love to know what happened with the cats in the basement! Sounds like your boys were up to no good! Our girls (Idgy & Edgy) are often up to no good. That's why whenever we leave the house, we tell them "be good girls, and if you can't be good then please don't break anything!" ;-)

We are VERY proud of Keepers for her amazing ability to overcome adversity. They were unfairly hit last week, but they didn't stay down and that's a great lesson for everyone to learn.

"I get knocked down, but I get up again....."

Gotta go wrangle some cats in from the porch...it's time for bed!

Happy Trails back at ya,
~Grace & the gang~

Thanks for visiting Grace, and the rest!! I may have to just do some "ordinary" type blogs like this a bit more, maybe tomorrows will be "what did john find when he went downstairs?"

I don;t know you or keepers i just see you post on miquies blog. Do you have MPD or DID?? i just i don;t know you seem like such an amazing support for keepers and i only just met them tonight.. (well your probably not on so i guess i haven't actually met anyone) anyways i talk too much when i'm tired or nervous and right now i am both so sorry..
anyways yeah i think you are amazing and trying not to sound stupid or corney kind of inspirational with your understanding and support you give..

Hello Aimsley

Hi JIP

Better take your plastic with you if you are buying dinner for each of you individually, keepers always share, of course i have no idea how many don't like shrimp, I guess they are the ones who ask me two hours after we get home, "can we fix a pizza?"
