I had this bright idea on Thursday evening. I thought that building a cat scratching post would be a nice little project for Mike and Cheyenne to do over the weekend. I figured this would allow me to take care of some of the things I needed to take care of without having two bored [...]

New news…
Today I offer three quick blog updates that I thought important to share. I don't get to do updates often, but these three warrant a revisit. Re: In Nya's shoes...
