Happy Mother's Day

I was trying to find a picture to post for today when I found this one. My Mom asked me to take it and give it to my brother quite a while back. I think it's only fitting since while he was visiting her last week he had a cold and was coughing up a storm. As mother's do - she told him to buy some cough drops but he didn't do it for several days and when he finally did he twittered: "I hate it when my mother is right."

I myself have experienced the same phenomenon. My greatest memory of my mother being right was her strong recommendation to take Latin in high school. Of course I didn't take it and it made my biology and literature courses in college that much harder. It probably would have helped with my French as well.

So my advice to all: Listen to your Mother - she is probably right. ;)

To my Mother:

Thank you for all of your love and support. I wouldn't be who I am today without it. I miss you and love you and hope you have a wonderful day.

I think someone killed Chester Cheetah

Beautiful day in Bothell

Walked down to take my garbage and get my mail with the sun shining and only a few clouds.

IT'S REALLY SNOWING!

A Gift?

A gift left by my car from the black cat who sits on my deck

There's A Stranger Outside

This very large black and white cat has been sitting on my deck for the last 45 minutes. Buto keeps going to stare it down and then walks away.
