i haven't posted anything in awhile. i can't say i've been busy, just sidetracked. i put up a family website for my genealogy research and had to build and upload three trees, so that took awhile. i've also been researching some genealogy info on ancestry.com. i took up a new hobby that i have been curious about for a while; quilling, the art of twirling paper. we recently aquired a new addition to the family. she's a 1lb 2oz ball of grey fur. she was found in the hall at the aprtments where we live by the maintenance man and we took her in. her name is minute (she's not big as a minute), and she is curious,fiesty and not very timid about anything. we currently have two older males, corner and noland and are trying to introduce her into the mix. noland seems to be kind of nonchalant about her; corner is not a happy camper. i've changed positions at work and am a little happier with my situation there. overall i feel like i'm ready to retire just don't have the age. that's all for now.
