Hiding in the Basement
We leave the basement door open at night so the cats can get in and out. Our youngest son doesn’t like it when the cats are in the basement and doesn’t like the basement door open. There is a crawl space just inside the door where the cats sometimes retreat. Our son woke up and…

Turning the Car Around
I sometimes joke that Gen X should turn everyone’s internet off for a week and make the world survive like we are in the 80s again. I remember being in the backseat of my parents car and going somewhere we really wanted to go. If we acted up my parents would threaten to turn the…

Mice and Ants
We occasionally get a mouse in the house. They don’t last long though. Magic will kill them and apparently so will Ether. Stephanie described how the other day Ether was “playing” with a mouse.

How Many Black Cats?
Last night I was having trouble sleeping so I got up and went downstairs for a melatonin. On the landing was Magic. In the living room was Cosmos. In the office was Magic. Wait what? There were three black cats. I didn’t believe my eyes. I could clearly see that one of the cats was…
