Matisse the Hunter!

I found Matisse today just outside the back door with PREY in his mouth! I know ..euchhh! He must have snuck out again and successfully caught a ground squirrel. The problem is that he wanted to bring it in! So i went out and grbbed him. I shook him until he dropped the little guy ( who made a fast getaway!) and put him back in the confines of his natural habitat...my house!

I'm prettty shook up by the whole experience...I might have to resort to a lemon drop shot to calm myself down! I have to wait though, cuz it's not noon yet!

Nearing an end!

I got my teaching schedule in the mail on Fri. along with my instructions for the first day! Back to school! Even though I have spent quite a bit of time working on school this summer, it is sad to realize my free time is over! Michael is leaving today after his last college summer home. That is quite a landmark for all of us. This house is going to be much too quiet by noon today.

Last night Michael and Thea made a fabulous dinner for us. She will be off to grad school in Cincinnati in a couple of weeks while michael is back at Point doing his staff training before classes start. It has been great to have them around. Good luck to you guys and thanks, for everything!

Beach Road

Just finsihed Beach Road by James Patterson...the end was a surprise but not very satisfying. Maybe I should lay off these mysteries for awhile!
