Here are a few historical facts that you may find interesting but probably not useful. Since a friend of mine received them from a friend of hers who received them from a friend, who copied them from the Internet, I’m certain they are true. Early aircraft throttles had a ball on the end of it,… Continue reading In Case You Wanted to Know….

You see, my last experience on the slopes was memorable—exciting and memorable. It was Christmas Eve, on the slopes overlooking beautiful Lake Tahoe, my first trip down the mountain,… Continue reading Ain’t Snow Wonderful?
I’ve just discovered Dutch Goes the Photo blog and the weekly Tuesday Photo Challenge. This week’s challenge is ‘Animals’, so I decided to feature some cats I found on my recent visit to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. I know…maybe not the animals you had in mind, but you said to have fun. Momma Cat watches… Continue reading Garden Cats…and Ol’ Blue
