Adorable Animal Christmas Video
I am definitely not one to watch viral videos, especially all the goofy “talking” or “singing” animal videos out there. BUT. This one is hilarious! Whoever made this video did an exceptional job! Not only is the video entertaining, the creator really captured the personalities of the various animals (especially the cats, LOL). It’s a [...]

The daughter gave the Yorkie pups baths (finally, haha). Why do dogs, no matter what breed, smell like wet newspapers? Anyway, she brushed their coats and they were glistening– really squeaky clean. Aren’t they so cute! The Yorkies are AMAZINGLY silent and good when they are carried around. They don’t wiggle, they don’t bark.. they [...]

Go HERE. It’s my photo page at Flickr. It’s a set of Livvy photos I’ve taken throughout the two years we have had her. So Marg, now you can always see the newest photos of Livvy (as I add more), as well as her “historic” photos. Every once in a while, I go through the [...]

OOOOKKKKK… I thought those diaper days were OVER. Nope, not a new baby. New DOGS. lol. My daughter wanted some Yorkie pups in the worst way, and The Hubs promised her she could adopt some once the kitchen renovation was over. Well, the kitchen renovation is not *completely* over– and won’t be for a few [...]

My sweet beagle died over the weekend. We got her about nine years ago from a family that had saved her from the dog pound (and certain death). She had the sweetest temperament that I’ve ever known in a dog, but she had some habits that annoyed some people (and that’s probably why she was [...]

Apologies to all of Livvy’s ardent fans. Photos and stories of my darling Tabby Point Siamese have been few and far between, haven’t they? Well, Livvy was pestering helping me on my desk the other day, and I thought, “What a great time for a photo op!” The Princess was not amused. I have really [...]

Who could say “no” to that adorable, pookie face?! My bloggy pal, Carole, got a Siamese kitty!!! Yay Carole! I know you will love her to bits. Her name is Angel and she’s a gorgeous beauty: She’s a Lilac Point Siamese. Pretty! Livvy is a Lynx Point, also known as Tabby Point Siamese. Livvy used [...]

Have you noticed that the last THREE posts have been about my cat?! I may as well just give the blog over to her… :-p Winter in February is really, really boring. And Livvy always manages to keep thing so, uh, interesting around here. Actually, she’s been a snot lately, driving us all up the [...]

We’ve adopted a few feral cats who have homes outdoors. Well, not exactly outdoors– one sleeps in the attached garage and one sleeps in the basement (we have small hatches for both areas). Both areas are warmer than the cruel outdoors, but Upstate New York winters can be pretty rough on a critter. My feral [...]
Continue reading...I’m Rebecca
:) I’m a married mom of four teenage children. We live in Upstate New York. We bought an old 1855 home and acre property, over 10 years ago. We've been in the slow, agonizing process of living in the home while (trying) to renovate it. When I'm not renovating, I'm a freelance writer and blogger.
We've learned to dig a French drain, plant huge flower and vegetable gardens, wire a circuit panel, install furnace ducting, understand the enigmatic complexities of the plumbing system, and more. It's been *quite* the adventure.
You can read more about us here, read up on the history of the home, and read about what we've renovated so far. Thanks for visiting!
