Here is a photo from this day in 2009. It is young Chris on top of Tigger with Abbey in the background. I know the quality of this photo is bad, but I thought the content was good. I have about twenty potentially great photos from this day, but I obviously had a setting wrong…
As some of you know, we do a lot of moving. I have lived in at least twenty-three homes in my lifetime, soon to be twenty-four. Rose and I have lived in nine places together. Chris lived in seven of those homes. Rose insists this will be the last house we ever buy. We currently…
My wife bought me a new camera for Christmas back in 2009 and let me open it ten days early. I took several photos of our cats to test it out. All except the last photo were taken on December 15, 2009, between 9:12 and 9:24 p.m. First up is Chris. He's a little out…
Frankie and I ended up at the clubhouse again the other day. This time, something was going on inside. A man spotted Frankie peeking in and came out to greet him. After the door was open, Frankie stuck his head inside, getting a lot of ooos and ahhhs from the people inside. I didn't get…
I hope all our American friends had a nice Thanksgiving. We had a few friends over. Frankie and Floki did greet our guests but spent much of their time napping on our bed. I disturbed Floki when I thought I would get a photo of two sleeping cats. If Chris was still with us there…
This post is very late, but when I realized what the date is today, I had to say something. Today would have been Chris's fifteenth Gotcha Day. That day in November 2009 was quite memorable. A little gold cat took over our household, and our lives have never been the same since. https://youtu.be/Gp3pLnjQRCE?si=cHMwb_2IaFo7T_Bl Here is…
My newest book, Saving Apollo, is out now on Amazon. It will be exclusively on Amazon for the next ninety days, although I may release the print version elsewhere. This will allow me to offer the eBook for free. I think Amazon allows a total of five free days per ninety-day commitment. This is my…
My wife and I returned from our vacation to Massachusetts and Maine on Saturday. We were glad to get home to our cats and Frankie was certainly excited that we were back. He has been 'talking" a lot more than usual since we returned. The first thing I did was take Frankie for a walk.…
I am writing this post from Kennebunkport Maine. We spent three nights on Plum Island in Massachusetts and we arrived here a few hours ago. I have three Blink cameras at my house. One is in the living room, one is in the cat's room, and the third is a doorbell outside. I learned our…
As most of know, we evacuated before Hurricane Milton to a hotel thirty miles north. The cats were not happy about it but they also accepted it quite well. Frankie had a nice window to look out of before and after the storm. He even watched some television. There wasn't much to do so I…
I was on the beaches for my job yesterday and even though I knew the beaches were devastated from just getting hit by a glancing blow from Helene., it was still a shock to look down every street and see piles and piles of debris. We maintain aquariums for two restaurants on the beach. This…
Frankie used to rarely travel to the street behind our house, but lately, we find ourselves there quite often. I think it is because of the male ginger cat that lives near the opposite end of the street. I think Frankie knows he's there and wants to check up on him, even though they obviously…
I want to start by saying thank you to everyone concerned about our welfare during Hurricane Helene. We were lucky and sustained no damage to our home. I reported in my last post that the bridges to the beaches were closed. I thought they needed to inspect the bridges before reopening but I later learned…
I took Frankie for a walk Thursday morning. At the time I thought I should get him out there before the weather got bad. Unknown to me at the time the weather wouldn't get bad for quite a while. I saw on the map that the storm would pass us at its closest point around…
Frankie insisted that we go for a walk yesterday morning despite the coming hurricane. It had stopped raining so I figured it wouldn't hurt to let him out. It was windy and Frankie was hesitant at first but we made our way to the clubhouse and, as usual, Frankie wanted to go inside. Later he…
I managed to get home from work just before it started raining this afternoon. We are getting rain from the outer edge of Hurricane Helene. It will continue to move north, closer to us, throughout tonight and tomorrow. We should feel the strongest impact sometime tomorrow afternoon. We are in a mandatory evacuation zone, which…
I picked up Chris's ashes from the vet today. I wanted to show you, so I took everything out and set it on a cat perch to take pictures. Frankie jumped onto the perch, so I quickly put everything back in the bag before he knocked it on the floor. He was surprisingly curious about…
