In Like a Lion...

















I think one too many people observed we were having a mild winter. Over the weekend, Mother Nature emphatically reminded us who's in charge. Winter isn't over until it's over. Millions of plump snowflakes created a heavy, fluffy snow which clung beautifully to tree branches. Since I didn't need to drive anywhere, I could enjoy it from the comfort of my cushy easy chair while sipping a cup of hot chocolate.

My old Indy-boy used to love a snowy day. Now he's easily confused. This means I pull on my boots and troop out to fetch him back inside whenever he loses his way. Let me tell you, snow clings better to fur and hair than it does to tree branches. Even after a towel sweep off we're both pretty damp. Snow is pretty, but I'm looking forward to the fresh yellow-green of early spring. I sure hope March intends to go out like a lamb.

Of course, kids adore snow, no matter what fuddy duddy adults say about it. Watching them sled down the hill behind our house until their cheeks and noses are bright red, can't help but make me smile. I think being around children helps to keep oldsters like me feeling young.

Speaking of being around children, I recently wrote a story about my two grandsons which appears in this month's Sasee Magazine. If you have a moment, I'd love for you to pop over for a read. Please consider leaving a comment, if you are so inclined. Here's the link. Sasee is an awesome magazine for women and I bet you'll enjoy flipping through the pages.

Well, yippy-tie-yie-yay, here it is. March has arrived!

Sasee Magazine and Sassy Cat



















A few weeks ago I mentioned that a story I wrote about my son's upcoming wedding had been accepted by Sasee Magazine. It appears in the October issue. You can read the online version here. Scroll down to find my story, "The Dance", along with a number of other stories you will enjoy reading. If you get a chance, I'd love it if you could leave a comment on my story. : )

Sasee mailed 3 hard copies of the magazine to me and once again I'm struck by the quality of this publication. In a world that increasingly sees print publishing houses disappear, you may wish to support Sasee by subscribing. It's only $24 for 12 issues, a bargain any way you slice it. In addition, if you plan to submit an essay to Sasee in the future, it helps to read the types of stories they are buying.

Off my soapbox now and on to other matters.

Bogey had an appointment with the vet on Monday for annual immunizations. When he got his three injections he screamed so loud and so long that a vet assistant came running into the room to see if anyone needed help (or bandaids).




















Who me?

Luckily no major injuries occured. When we got back home I figured he'd hide under the bed to sulk for a few hours, but no. Instead, he leaped on the curtains and climbed to the top, daring me to stop him. There are now several new rips to the fabric.

Revenge thy name is Bogey.
