I'm so proud of the young lady that Juliana is becoming.
She's beautiful, a talented artist, and a lover of animals. And she turned 12 today.
Happy Birthday, Juliana!

Five Senses Friday
Abby is hosting Five Senses Friday. I've decided to play along. How about you?
Taste:
- good sweet tea;
- diet coke (which I am trying to cut back on);
- dark chocolate.
Sight:
- watching my youngest daughter in her first class performance sing "My country";
- watching both of my girls sleeping - so sweet and quiet;
- looking at the fluttering of the fuzzy fur of the 3 Easter chicks perched on the top of my work computer.
Touch:
- the keys of my keyboard and remembering high school typing classes on the manual typewriters (thankful for technology);
- the soft fur and aging body of our 19 year old cat, Pookie, such a remarkable contrast.
Smell:
- the smell of chicken boiling on the stove every Saturday (mom makes it for the senior finicky dogs);
- the blooming flowers of spring - daffodils, cherry trees;
- the smell of my daughter's clean hair after bath.
Hear:
- my favorite sound is a cat purring; all of my cats have their own unique sound that I love;
- my daughters laughter - Juliana in excitement about her sleepover with Nia and Ginny's laugh as she is tickled;
- the hum of air and computers at work and the peace of lunchtime when everyone is gone;
- like sight, listening to my youngest daughter sing "My country" in her first class performance.

Some of the "other children"
Pookie is 19 years old and still beats the dogs up and down the stairs. Of course the dogs are old or fat.
Casey is 14 years old. He's deaf and doesn't move very fast.
Samson is about 9 or 10 years old (we adopted him when he was 6). He's our 83lb basset hound. Noone warned me when he was adopted that bassets get overweight very easily. Virtually impossible to get it off him now, but we're trying.
Then there are the other 4 cats.
Barsik and Rosie
and Toni and Tori
Juliana also has 3 hermit crabs and a fish.
We are on a pet ban.

Snow!
It's nice to see snow every once in a while. Then you remember what a pain it is to keep the kids dry and warm. Sure is pretty watching it come down.
