This is a good bye post and a post just for me to remember the best cat I've ever owned -- and I add to say ever KNOWN. Hands Down.

I decided to take a photo every day this week to record the progress of our melting snow! Monday... Tuesday... Wednesday... Thursday... Friday... Saturday... March...in like a lion and out like a lamb. Though here in Chicagoland the wolf can show up any time! Happy Spring everyone! ~Cathy

I actually forgot to take a picture of what it looked like when I pulled into the campground. Here is a photo after Roadside Assistance came and cut off the 7 pin connector that was just hanging on by the black rubber... Somehow I managed to pinch the cable in between the tow hitch and… Continue reading Ever have one of those days? Severing my 7 pin towing cable! But having a great trip!
Here are a couple of pictures of one of my readers' restored Singer 201. When I wrote my blog post "Why a Singer 201 will always be a favorite" way back in 2008 I had no idea that I'd have so many people comment on that post and share their own love for these old… Continue reading Dwasifar’s Restored 201!
