  1. Hi, i’ve never commented before but just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your blog ?. I think it was a great idea to take Charlie with you to the vet to get his meds. As soon as we turn in the parking lot with our “kids” they get nervous. I’ll have to remember this tip. Also love hearing about Ivy’s antics. Our Ginger is so lazy I don’t think she’d get up for a swarm of flies LOL.
    Have a great day & keep up the great content ?

  2. Ivy is quite the determined one, isn’t she? Glad nothing got broken in the _ly episode!

    The heat has subsided some here in the last several days and that is a relie_. Sadly, I have been unable to do anything outdoors due to being sick with the worst, aw_ul, horrible sore throat I’ve had in my li_e. It’s been nearly two weeks since I ‘ve been able to eat anything but liquids and take pain meds. Spent two evenings in the ER on IV _luids and antibiotics, and am just now seeing some minimal improvement. My Ear/Nose/Throat doc who I saw Mon. said he’s sure it’s a virus and he’s been seeing quite a lot o_ it. Anyway, I’ve been totally dys_unctional and according to the ENT guy it usually takes about two to three weeks to completely kick it. So, maybe by August…?

    Stay well, you three.

  3. Your patio still looks so pretty even with this relentless heat. Last night upstate SC got a break and we went into the 70’s at night. My air conditioner said thank you and was silent for the first time in quite awhile. It stayed cool until noon and after that the heat intensified but still a bit better than it has been. My three legged feral kitty, Rosebud, is like Ivy in that she is a relentless hunter and no bug or flying insect has a chance… unless it leaves the premises. Just finished reading a great book titled “ The Weight of Ink” . It is a historical mystery and tells the story of two women. One is alive in 16th century England and the other is alive in 20th century England. The author tells their stories in alternating chapters. Very well written and expertly researched too. The woman in the 16th century is a young Jewish woman who breaks tradition and is a scribe for a blind rabbi. The other is an older history professor who is near retirement. The two stories are woven together very nicely. Excellent read but a more serious read than say a beach read. I had a lovely day today getting together with teachers I used to teach with. One of our dear friends had moved to Ireland for work and he and his family joined us and we had a great time talking, reminiscing and sharing brunch together. I save your post usually for the end of the day as a little reward. I so enjoy reading about your life, your memories and about your sweet fur babies. Have to say you are an excellent Mom. You are so attentive and observant of your pets. Charlie and Ivy are so lucky to have you looking after them. So many animals are lucky to be fed and given fresh water. SC is not a state that is very kind to animals. I detest the way people neglect their dogs and tether them outside and they are looked upon more as yard or nay than as members of the family. Thanks again for your wonderful writing. You’re like a visit from a dear friend at the end of the day.

  4. Yes, can you post videos of your beautiful, crazy kitty? ?

  5. Brenda, I can imagine that sweet Ivy is keeping you on your toes and entertained as well. What a character! The heat has been brutal and although the temps have dropped here a bit it is still hot, like you we will have heat like this until Fall. I am not complaining because winter will be here soon enough.

    Thank you for your comment about my father in law, I am really going to miss him. I was blessed to have him in my life for 24 years.

    Have a great day!

  6. Ivy’s fly-hunt would have made a good video! Glad nothing was damaged!!
