I have never seen a cat eat watermelon before, but Rose loves it! She likes to lick the juice off the top.

Rose

 
This is our newest addition: Rose. We got her at 2 months old. We could not resist. She was in a cage at Petsmart and wanted to come home with us!

Hey!

 
It's been a while and I do apoligize. Thought I would tell you that today was the hottest day so far this year. It topped out at 112^ today, ouch!! We are good, still taking classes at Barstow College. I am taking one class this summer, a world history class (and PE, I love PE) We are moving at the end of this month, I will let you all know the details when we have our new place. I figure one more year here in Barstow then off to a four year college somewhere north (I can't take the heat anymore!) I want to get my BSN (Bachelor's of Science in Nursing), I am looking at the University of Reno, Humbolt State, Chico State, and a few others in Northern California. I can start applying in the fall. I found a new band I am really into called Litmus Green, they are a punk band from So. CA. They broke up a few years ago, but they are really good. Keep in touch and I'll try to do the same!

Draco

 
Our pet rat Draco passed away today. He was fine yesterday; today he was not well this morning and by the afternoon he was gone. We loved him very much and will miss him.

Summer Blooms

 
This is a Spanish Broom. It is one of the few plants that does well here in the desert. It blooms once a year and smells spectacular. We have two of them, one in the front and one in the back. Their fragrance can be smelt throughout both yards. We bought them small, and now look how big they are!

Mrs. Jones

 
This is Mrs. Jones. She belonged to the neighbor across the street who moved and could not take her with him. We call her that because she likes to stay in the bathroom. I remember my Granma Rose used to always say she was going to visit Mrs. Jones when she went to the bathroom, so we thought it fit! p.s. yes that is HER bear, it came with her and nobody else better touch it!

Aunt Laura & Uncle Gordon Visit

 
 

January 4 my Aunt Laura and Uncle Gordon paid us a visit as they traveled through Barstow. We had a nice lunch at the Country Kitchen. Our time was too short but it was so nice to see each other. I miss them already!
