This is Marmalade.....A wonderful cat, loves to be with people, curious, SLOW, deep fur and a bob tail...always has been....I hear from a neighbor that he roams around, visiting others but all seem to enjoy his company. If we are gone for a few days, he will wander...and then it takes him a while to discover that we are back and it is ok for him to return. We assume he eats here as his food is available, but there are other cats here and so we don't know for sure. He never looks thinner when he returns so we feel like he is being fed by one of his fans....what a life....if you see him, scratch his ears...he likes that best....

A new beginning...

I have wanted to create a blog for a very long time but thought it was technically too hard to do and just never made time to find out. I set by a friend in Sunday School this morning and I told her how much I enjoyed her blog and told her of my long held desire and lack of follow through. She quickly ran through the set up here and told me it was easy and so far it is...I am not sure how I want this to proceed....
I really enjoy my photography and see this as a place to put my photos and it will also remind me to shoot everyday so that I will have something to display. There is so much in the world that I am interested in and I would also like to have a place to put those thoughts...and the idea of a journal is fascinating. I once knew someone who kept a little diary and could look back to see what 'this day' last year held...I like that. I also purchased a tiny little diary once and read the postings of an elderly lady in north central AR. She was very open about being lonely.
She had a son in LR... he visited ever once in a while, but not often. Sometimes someone would invite her to spend part of the day with them and it was such a delight. There were also postings of daily life...ironing, needing sugar to make a cake, getting a piece of mail...anyway, I like the "what happened today" aspect of a journal...but I have begun and we will see what form this takes...
