Kittens and Cruises

You must read the post below this before continuing!

Did you read it? Really? Ok, now you can read.

Yes, by the picture below you can see that our family is one member larger. We are the proud parents of a bouncy orange kitten by the name of Miles (we think) or Jones. Miles or Jones is a typical kitten, wild then loving, noisy then quiet and always cute. Ada was completely obsessed with him the first night but has since relaxed and is getting along well with the kitten. Quark seems to also really like the kitten when he is in the mood.

But enough about kittens, I do have more to my life then pets. I have been working out at Bonneville Dam. But by working what I really mean is I sit all day and watch two people who watch a computer screen. It can't get much more exciting than that. I am heading to Lower Monumental dam next Thursday for 2 weeks. Then Greyson and I are going on a semi-real vacation for a week to use up my holiday hours leftover. We don't have much money so it will likely be a camping trip. We are talking about going up to the Olympic peninsula or Canada (or both). We are open to any suggestions that you all may have (but that would require that you write on the blog and we all know how you don't do that).

Then when we get back Greyson's parents are coming with there new camper for a visit. They have also just invited us to go on a cruise the second week in December. They booked us an awesome suite on the very top level of the ship next to the pool. We are leaving out of New Orleans and hitting ports in Mexico and Belize and somewhere else in that area. With temps in the 70s and 80s during that time it should be awesome.

I went down to the garden to snip some catnip. What I found was an ocean of waste high weeds. Only the strawberries, which I had weeded 3 weeks ago, was looking like a garden. If they get some sun they should be great this year. I think gardening would be very calming for someone that is fasting.

I am writing one of those run on posting, which is what happens when you don't post enough, so I will finish and try to post more often. You all try to do the same. If you don't I may start signing you up for email spam.
