We had a bit of a trauma this week.
It all started with the door I had installed between the dining room and the garage this summer to replace that tacky storm door the builder installed 50 years ago. The new steel door has a doorknob lock — key lock on the garage side and tab [...]

I bought the cats a feeder that auto-feeds them 1/2 cup twice a day at selected times. Actually, I could change the amount dispensed, can set it to dispense one to three times a day, and can set the times of day it should dispense.

For about a year, Aloof, the mean ole cat of the house, and I have been embroiled in an embittered battle of wills.

Thirteen Things about J. Lynne
I lived 23 of my 36 breathing years in New Orleans, but not consecutively; one period for 12 years and one for 11 years.
