New year

After months of virtual non existance I have decided it is time to come back.
New Year, some new changes. For example, a dog named Biscuit came into our lives the week before Christmas. Biscuit was a stray, who decided to plant himself in the yard of someone who already had three dogs and two cats. They couldn't keep him and he was destined to be brought to a shelter. In step me and Jim, foolishly thinking we would foster him for a few weeks. Uh huh.
After a few missteps (he went through our dining room window, ripped down blinds and draperies) we decided he was our dog. He was just misunderstood we say. Some would have dropped him down the chute immediately but we are obsessed with finding the good in whatever comes our way. Hey, it's our life, we can live it as we please. LOL He is a good boy. We have dubbed him our 1974 shag rug--his fur feels just like the red one I had as a kid. He has one blue eye and one brown. He smiles alot. And we love him.
Jimmy Buffett tickets are purchased for his April concert in Raleigh. The preparation and planning has begun. Tiki Bar needs to be built. Cornhole game is in the planning stage. And the menu for the tailgating is under way. I will be poor for the next two weeks, but no worries!!
Out beloved orange cat Pumpkin is recovering from a serious UTI. He was really sick, but I think he is going to be ok. A real scare...............
Well, just wanted to get my fingers and thoughts warmed up. Glad to be back.
