Oscar the laptop cat
Oscar is not normally a snuggly kitty. He does, however, like to sit on my computer; so when I had my computer on my lap tonight, he was there. After Ray took this picture, Oscar settled down to sit on my lap for a good half hour. I finally had to move because my leg [...]

Kayleigh’s big, curly hair
Kayleigh had her friend do her hair while they were at a big regional cross-country race in California, called Foot Locker. I thought her hair looked like Farrah’s hair in the 1970s. I found the Farrah doll photo on Flickr, and yep, just like Farrah.
My Sweet Mother-in-Law
I have a sweet mother-in-law. She is a wonderful mother, and she is very supportive. She is another woman in my life who is always there for me. She is also very funny; she has a wicked sense of humor.
