Cat Tales: Building the House

http://dlocat.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html

Per Helsie's suggestion here are a few pictures and a bit of the story about when we built our house. Phillip and me putting sheathing on the back wall. Marsha and me putting on the shingles. The roof was steeper than it looks in the picture. The toe board was the only thing keeping us from sliding off. Here I had put some of the windows in. My work was willy nilly sometimes. Marsha, me and Jay in our living room. This was taken several years later. I think the house was finished at this point. My dad ha...

The Single Man's min/min/max Cooking: May 2013

http://dlocooking.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

The Single Man's min/min/max Cooking. Sunday, May 26, 2013. Minimum mess, minimum cost, maximum benefit. So I learned to cook. These will not all be recipes per se, some of it will be general things that applies to a lot of foods or methods. Some of the foods might appear fattening. I doubt that any of them are because I'm 65 years old, 5' 10", weigh about 145 pounds and have for 40 years. Cooking meat in a crock pot:. If you don't mind eating left overs, this is dinner for a couple nights.

The Profanity Factor: June 2013

http://dloprofanity.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

Tuesday, June 4, 2013. Because Some Stories Can't Be Told Without It. This happened about 30 years ago before words that men use and words that men use around women had changed so much. Now the following little story likely won't raise an eyebrow but here goes. My wife (at the time) and I had friends that were a couple. When the couple divorced, she became very social, going to every party she heard of. From one of those parties, she related this story:. Or, Leo come here.". Suddenly from his sluggish, h...

Cat Tales: Mittens and Patches' Story

http://dlocat.blogspot.com/p/mittens-and-patches-story_2.html

Mittens and Patches' Story. This first story might be a bit off color to some of you. I was raised on a farm (reared if you prefer, I dislike the word). Acceptable speech has changed so much in my life time I don't really have a handle on what is and what is not acceptable these days. That out of the way, on with the story. This is the cats my Mother gave us. She became a bit more tame. Although she was never a lap sitter, she liked liking my toes whenever I was outside on the deck barefoot. She ...To th...

Cat Tales: May 2013

http://dlocat.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

Tuesday, May 28, 2013. Sometime tonight I'll hear something at the screen door. I might be asleep or might be awake but regardless, I'll open the door and probably say something like, "hey buddy, how did the hunting go? The solution was put it off in the woods where no one would see it. At any rate I didn't care, I liked it over there. There were challenges; not least of all - mice! By the way, here is a picture of my house:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Mittens and Patches' Story. One Percent (main blog).

Cat Tales: Leo's Story

http://dlocat.blogspot.com/p/leos-story.html

Before I tell Leo's story I want to talk about my Daddy-in-law for a bit. He was a big man, a logger and a hunter. He passed away last year. He enriched my life immeasurably and I miss him. Even though I had been divorced from his daughter for 20 years, he never stopped calling me his son-in-law. He was in many ways a wonderful man and he was a story teller. About that time Leo came out from under the deck. In comparison to the raccoons he was tiny! I ran inside and grabbed the first weapon I could find ...

Cat Tales: Annie's Story

http://dlocat.blogspot.com/p/annies-story.html

With a bottle the size of my little finger and kitten formula (I didn't know they made such a thing), I picked up this little ball of fur with shiny eyes. It looked up at me, grasp tight to my shirt and snuggled against my body. Here I wanted to get all sentimental and sappy - in fact I wrote two paragraphs of sentimental and sappy stuff - then hit the delete key. Somewhere along the way in life, I realized you can't tell people how you feel. My niece suggested I let her have one litter of kittens. T...
