Life is Good

Is this cat spoiled?

Where photo albums get made : ))

This is where we put together the albums we make. Now we can eat at the dining room table again, yay!!! We also use this set up when we take our show on the road, we have a 10 X 10 canopy and a sign so we can travel to the festivals around the area. We are hitting one this week end and we have another scheduled for the end of October. I will definitely have an update complete with photos after it : )) Stay tuned!!!

Sandy Sam

This is Sandy Sam, and that is my hand. Sam is 18 years old, the oldest kitty in the family. We took this photo in our studio. I then added silly script to it, and Neal called me a fruitcake. In all honesty, i have to agree with Neal, I AM a fruitcake. But a very cute and lovable fruitcake.

This photo was taken at the Columbia Zoo, before i actually moved to South Carolina. Notice that we are in tee shirts? This was in January. And today, it's almost October, guess what? We are still in tee shirts. Ummmm, I don't think there is a winter here.

Where the food comes from : )))

Many great meals come out of this kitchen!!!! I love cooking, and this kitchen is well equipped and just the right size for me. (Notice all my new pots and pans on the stove) I love the tiled floor, and i painted the walls a wonderful peachy shade. The dishwasher is full of grocery bags.

This is where Neal and I had our first real life meeting. After meeting each other in second life (www.secondlife.com) on October 12th and falling in love virtually, we needed to find out if what we were feeling would work in real life. So, on December 8th our real life together started. There was no doubt in my mind the moment he stepped out of the airport shuttle and we slipped into each others arms that we were meant to be together. The experience felt like finally coming home after being away much too long.

One Dead Chair

One Dead Chair. I suspect it was the one on the right that killed it.

Finlay Park, Columbia SC

This is Finlay Park. Shortly after taking this photo, i misjudged a step and broke my ankle in two places. That was on April 18th, after surgery and way too muuch time on my butt, I am happy to say i'm walking again. I haven't gone back to this park yet.

This is Dana and Orkie taking their (all) afternoon nap. These are two of the sweetest kitties around. Dana is also known as ceiling cat, but we try not to let that go to her head. When they refuse to get out of bed, the bed doesn't get made that day. (and we sleep on fuzzy pillows)

At the end of April, shortly after moving to South Carolina to be with Neal, i slipped off a step in the park and broke my ankle in two places. This is the neat cast i got after the surgery. I requested tie dye, and this was as close to it as they could get. I like it. I'm walking again, it was a very interesting experience.

Kevin's Diet

No, Kevin, we really don't think you are plump, just cute as a button.

This is our home, Neal's grandparents lived here before they passed away. Someone else bought the house and did all the repairs and put it up for rent. Amazinly enough, we then found it on a rental website. And here we are. But, sad to say, we may be looking for another house soon. We want to be able to run our business out of a studio in our home. We do love this house though.

I've been playing with this Picasa program. It let's me mess with my photos, and make things like collages. This collage, of course, is my personal favorite. (Imagine that)

THEY LOVE EACH OTHER

THEY LOVE EACH OTHER

LAMP AND FLOWER

This is a lamp and flower from Leslie and Chris's home. The last time I saw Tommy Cat he was lying under this lamp. He died of Leukemia shortly after. Everyone loved Tommy, although he sure had his 'mean moments'.

Kissing My Sweetie

I could spend HOURS kissing this man : ))))

Neal and Orkie

This is the love of my life, Neal, and my beautiful kitty, Orkev Ophelia. Orkie loves Neal's beard, i believe she thinks it's her long lost sibling. She always runs up Neal's chest and rubs her face all over his. He enjoys this attention, except when he wants to go to sleep. Ahhh, the love of a cat.

Tardy Peebucket

This is Tardy, the most special kitty in the world. Tardy has cerebellar hypoplasia.

Flowers

Playing with the photos. I am experimanting with the photos I've been taking.
