Crazy Old Cat Lady

I went to the URL for CatLady to see who got my preferred URL name and it's just one useless entry and then I checked out my next preferred URL name of CrazyCatLady (son#1 calls me "Crazy Lady" and the rest of the world calls me "Cat Lady" so I thought a URL was born) and she's a great writer, but I can't find any way to add a comment telling her so. So my URL ended up being CrazyOldCatLady. My web page is http://cvanhorn.homestead.com/

OPIE'S 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY

I found Opie one year ago today, wobbly and weak, so tiny, but trying to get to a hiding place in the rocks. I made him a bed where I found him so that he could stay warm while waiting for Mama to come looking for him, but he was still there the next day and I had read on the computer that the mothers never come back- they probably don't even know that one is missing.
If you want to see the posts about him from the beginning:

I haven't seen Opie on the sky cam for a month now. I hope he is off seeing the world.

47TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

Here is the card that I gave my husband. Notice the remote clutched in "his hand" and the cat on "my" lap. Someone has been peeking into my living room. This is exactly how we celebrated the event.

No "April Fools" about it.
