Sharkey and I saw Sanu, one of the housekeepers, grabbing Verdi, the cat, and taking him down into the laundry room. We decided to follow and see what was going on. We wondered if it was the dreaded bath time. We almost felt sorry for the fluffy feline. However, he was only down there for …
Franny and I trotted down to the vegetable garden the other day to see how things were growing. The weather has been getting milder and I suppose the danger of frost has passed. We found Shaun and Wilmer out there planting all the tomatoes they grew from seed and of course, Franny and …
The other morning when we woke up, a gentle rain was falling. I was getting a little stir crazy and told Sharkey to find our rain slickers so that we could go outdoors. We trotted down to where the lilies grow and we found the crew wearing rain slickers, too. They were busy weeding and …

Last week, Martha went antiquing and found a gigantic metal vat and she thought it would be great to use as an outdoor fire pit. It was too big for her to take, so she sent Uncle Carlos with the pickup and, of course, he took us along for the ride. It wasn’t such an …
