Vicki Say's YES!!

My cousin Matt proposed to, his now fiance, Vicki at the top of the Empire State building back in November and they ended up on 20/20 this past Friday night. My Ole Cuz is famous!! Well, not really, but it was fun to watch them on national television. They flew over from England, Matt had it all planned out and it was there he proposed. Mom and I drove up to see them and had a great time. We loved Vicki and wish them nothing but the happiest of lives together. Yep, Matt, I'm coming to the wedding - See ya in September :)

Now What's He Got??

NOW WHAT'S HE GOT??!!

I was laying on the floor watching TV when I heard the Deufus. He'd been outside and had just come in through the cat flap. What the hell? From where I was, it looked like a carrot. Upon closer examination, I discovered the furry little bastard had a hotdog! Question is where did he get it from - was it from someone's trash or did he swipe it off a barbeque? I guess that's a question I'll never know the answer to! :)

He May Look Innocent, BUT ...

He may look innocent enough, BUT ...

Normally when I hear a THUD and go running, the Deufus stops
what he's doing and looks at me as if to say 'WHAT?' This time I
heard a thud, ran downstairs with camera in hand and caught him red pawed!!

did he stop?

-->

NOPE, so I stood and watched and here's what I saw!

He sat back down for a sec,

did some thinking, then . . .

TIMBERRRR!!!

He's got it!!

And, He's Off!!

My cat is an absolute PIG I must say!! :)
