More about me? Well...I am from out west. My home there was a lovely, large, brick building. It had the cutest little rooms, each softly padded and all white. I would have loved to have made my own room a bit more personal, but I wasn't allowed to have sharp objects back then.
At any rate, the gardens surrounding the home were plush. The beautiful foliage provided such cooling shade. It was while I was laying in the shade there that the idea crossed my mind. Suddenly, I knew I should explore what was on the other side of that very large, wrought iron gate.
Once outside the gate, I was on a great adventure. Eventually, I met and married Prince Charming. (Okay, so it WASN'T Prince Charming, but back then I believed what other people told me!)
For many years, we traveled a lot, always staying one step ahead of the paparazzi. (That is what they call those annoying guys in the white coats that carry nets, isn't it?)
For the past few years, we've found peace and quiet here in the boonies. We haven't seen even one of those paparazzi since living here. Things calmed down so much we've taken up quilting just to pass the time.
We have a few furry critters. Not quite sure as to the count anymore. Last time we checked, it was 30 deer, 1 fox, 23 turkeys, 2 Yorkies, and 2 cats. (Not sure where that second cat came from, but we think the paparazzi might have sent it in to spy on us. We're still trying to locate the camera on the cat.) That's all there is about us. We're boring.

Hi 2k -- since my avatar is a cat, thank you for the compliment.
Please meet Mr. Emile. He's spoiled rotten and absolutely irresistable -- well, to me anyway. He follows me around all day but isn't much of a lap cat. His highness lets me know when he wants to be petted and becomes demanding if I don't. On Mother's Day he managed to bring me another present -- a baby rabbit. He can't get outside but likes to sit on our enclosed front porch where there is a small gap at the bottom of the storm door. How the heck he talked that rabbit into coming in that small space is a mystery to me....We lost the dang rabbit until Monday morning. The poor thing was just so terrified it let me pick it up with a towel and wrap him up inside. I put the towel down outside and opened up the towel a little and the poor thing just burrowed down into it again. He finally came out and seemed to be OK as he was busily eating grass when I came back inside...What's a mom to do? :lol: :lol:

Wow, it IS a small world. How lucky to run into a neighbor from my past. Glad to see you here. Perhaps we can renew our friendship!
Did you find that "Doorman" as offensive as I did? Geesh! He REALLY got on my bad side the very first day I lived there. Made me wish I hadn't purchased the place. :shock:
