<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
She's 10 years old. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Small short hair cat</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Still exploring the house and loves the window ledge in the master bathroom.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She must have used a faucet for water because she goes to the faucets when I'm near a sink. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I got her a watering fountain.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No, she isn't spoiled.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was an indoor/outdoor cat that lived with kids, grandkids, cats and dogs. Her brother was adopted earlier. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She ran and jumped on the bed by my feet the first night. She sleeps on the bed now. That is ok with me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sophie likes to run around when she isn't sleeping.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She knows the words breakfast and dinner - ok, well, as long as I have her food on a cat plate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has a tiny meow but she can purr!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please say 'hi' to Sophie. </div>

Sam did a great job yesterday guarding against tornadoes and dragons.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Praying for those in the Canton area and surrounding areas that were hit by tornadoes yesterday. It was First Monday weekend too so more people than normal were in the area. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got enough rain that the sprinkler system didn't go off early this morning. Some thunder but not a lot. We are under heavy wind advisory today. Going outside when it warms up a little to check the back yard. </div>

My sister and I went out to Aurora TX where in 1897 a UFO ran into a little engine trouble and smacked into the area judge's windmill. The alien was given a Christian burial in the local Aurora cemetery. The gravestone was stolen when the media ran a story (not surprising) so the grave is unmarked. Hint: it's somewhere around the other 1890 gravestones. It's a pretty cemetery, there were lots of little purple wildflowers blooming and a few patches of bluebonnets. This cemetery is still using upright headstones along with the usual ground ones. It has some trees and is a nice county cemetery. </div>

<br />I know, I know. Probably not the best picture for such a wonderful day. I like Easter better than Christmas (shhh, don't tell anyone) because of the new beginnings it brings in life.<br />
<br />
I went to church with my nephew, niece in law, and their son Cooper where we met up with my niece in laws mom and sister in law. A lot of family by marriage but a family none the less. My niece's brother was working at the firestation - he's still a newbie.<br />
<br />
We went out to eat afterwards, a nice TexMex place where we met after Christmas services. They love Cooper there even when he makes a mess. He's just 18 months old and learning to turn jabber into a few words.<br />

SO I guess 2016 wanted to go out in a bang! Brrrrr</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was in the 70's yesterday, and by 7 pm last night, the wind chill/real feel was 11. The vortex came in with really really fast and loud winds. By 9, it was 17 outside with real feel of MINUS 1 and temp was 23. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry, no pictures. I'm NOT going out there. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sam slept by the kitchen window even though it was really cold. He didn't want anything to sleep on either. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The wind chill/real feel is -1 this morning at 5:30 and it is 17 outside.<br />
On the other had, the wind doesn't sound like a hurricane.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Very grateful that I am inside and I am blessed. <br />
<br />
I sure hope all the first responders stay safe while the Arctic Vortex visits. And hoping the second responders don't stay too busy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you to all the shelters taking in those in need. And thank you to those that are fostering stray animals.</div>

The good news is they caught a porch thief.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bad news is she lives on the street behind me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other bad news is there is more than one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If they worked as hard at a job, they could be rich instead of in jail (or about to be in jail)</div>

Normally I follow the packages so I know when to expect them to show up. Many fit in the mailbox so I don't worry about the small ones.<br />
<br />
The slipcovers were ordered a few weeks ago and I forgot about them. Several neighborhoods around me have problems with thefts and it seems as though people are following the delivery trucks then snatching the packages.<br />
<br />
Last night around 8pm I checked the porch - no packages. Around 9 I decided to head for bed and read a while. As I was walking past the front bedroom, I saw someone with a flashlight walking and it looked too close for them to have been on the sidewalk. I didn't see a dog so curious me, I walked to the front door and looked out the side window. I saw packages so I turned on the front porch light and opened the door. Just in time to see the guy at the edge of the front beds - he turned and darted in between the houses. I very carefully moved the packages inside while keeping my head up so I could see him if he came back. Very scary.<br />
<br />
Texted my next door neighbor to let her know and she said her dogs had gone crazy around 9 and she even opened the garage door to see what was going on. But she didn't see anything - of course, at night it is really easy to hide in the alley,<br />
<br />
Then this morning, as I was perusing my email, I saw where the delivery status showed it was delivered at 8:41pm. That means the 'alleged' thief had to be following the delivery truck. That made me nervous!<br />
<br />
Please watch for your deliveries!<br />
