I figured since I didn't have a lot of blogging time I could at least post a photo of my kitty cat. This one was taken shortly after we moved into the apartment here. Can you believe that we're coming up on almost 18 months here? Wow.
Giving up our big house in Texas was difficult, but we have found ways to improvise... and have gotten creative with our (lack of) space. The maps you see in the background are ones that would have gone in my school room at my old house. Here, our bedroom doubles as:
* the "office"
(Mom & Dad's make-shift desks are set up in one part of the room)
* the "computer room"
(for typing lessons, research, online games, etc.)
* the "geography center"
(where we do current events online and look up places as we read on the King Size bed)
It has been really nice to have the maps "living with us" in this way (even though it surely wouldn't get us on the cover of a home-improvement magazine). You can't tell that I love decorating and design from the way my "house" looks right now... but at least my cat is posh!

We have a pretty big house (old, cold and drafty) right now and I am in the middle of packing it all up. I don't have a clue where we are going or what kind of space we will have when we get there. Time will tell. Your cat is beautiful.
Thanks for posting to my blog on the trip to Egypt!
Hmm. I don't think I'd want to encroach on that kitty's territory.

Where are you?! This is so unlike you to not post in a few days. I am having withdrawals! ; ) Remember, I am your fellow Texas girl. I posted a couple of pics that I got from google of bluebonnets that I thought you'd appreciate. Hope to "read" from you soon!
Cute picture of Minga!
Sorry friends... I've been busy in the real world and have neglected my blog for a couple of days! Here are your replies:
Karen - I stopped by and commented on your blog. God bless you in your next adventure and may He give you peace on this move.
Steve, Dana and Maria - Your blog was a real blessing to me. I loved seeing your photos of Egypt! ;)
Mimi - Yes, Minga is a snott. She rules the roost.
Panda Mom - You made me smile. :) I'm so glad someone noticed I was gone. I'll give your bluebonnets a look... however, they might make me get the bluebonnet blues! I posted about that previously... with a photo of my kids sitting in them. Not sure what month it was. Thank you for checking in on me and being a "reader". That is super sweet.
Thanks alexandra!
