• Pre-Warp Speed

  

  How we reached pre-warp speed so fast I have no idea. (What was pre warp speed called anyway – cruise? But Warp speed is on its way!)  But yesterday had everything happening at once. Thankfully I had Gracie and the Cadet to help out.  And John is still waiting for his call back to work…

• It was not the 6th…

  When I loaded all these shots I wrote the 6th of November as their label.  But it was not the 6th.  It was the 7th and another dreary day. Today will be better. Look at this fat Charlotte.  Standing solidly on all four feet like a good girl. Even if she has broken into the…

• Kupa woos the ladies! A must see!
