Whatever!

May 31, 2010

I am not going to let this rainy day get me down. Got all the laundry washed and am waiting on the last load that I will dry to um…Get dry. Our flower pots are boasting sprouts. Emmie Cat is so proud. Buzzed my boy’s head for summer in spite of his beautiful curly hair. [...]

Little slices out of last Thursday

May 29, 2010

Thursday… I made a strawberry-rhubarb tart with my children. We watered our flower seeds (now sprouting) with the help of Emmie Cat. I haven’t ironed all this week. We just dig for what we need from the clothes baskets. I am more than a little embarrassed to admit that I had to google what arrosoir [...]

Swiss cows in the Jura

May 22, 2010

And, a cat by the train tracks. Happy Weekend, everyone! My In-laws will be here at lunch time. They called last night from Goumois, France which is just at the Swiss border. :) She was interested enough in me to not walk away. However, she wasn’t ready to come over for a scratch either. The [...]

My cat has a thing for the kitchen sink

April 24, 2010

Ha! I love cats. Emmie is meowing from my bedroom for me to chase her. We play every night chasing each other from the kitchen to our bedroom to the living room. She loves our game of chase after the kids are in bed.

Good start to the week

April 19, 2010

The lines to dry clothes outside have been put back up. Yippee! There is sun. Yippee! The kids are back in school after a two week Easter break. Yippee! We have found several nice and affordable apartments in Bienne, La Chaux-de-fonds and even Neuchâtel. Yippee! We are keeping our options open on where we relocate. [...]

Le Soleil

March 26, 2010

Emmie Cat had been enjoying the beautiful sun for about a week. Emmie stretched and slept in the sun most of last week from her chair. One of three that she claims as her own. Today, it rained and it snowed. I am sure that even Emmie is missing the sun and is ready for [...]

Spring is in the air

March 17, 2010

Even my cat can smell it! She is acting even more what I like to call “cat crazy” this week! She runs, bounces off furniture and meows…All the time. She is adorable. I opened up our windows to let in the fresh air like I do every single day at least twice a day. Emmie [...]

Onions made our cat cry

March 3, 2010

Emmie Cat loves to jump up on top of the kitchen cabinets to sleep, watch us or escape from the kids. She was up there today as I was preparing lunch. I was making spaghetti bolognese. Chopping up the onions made me cry. Those onions were strong! I glanced up at Emmie between my tears [...]

A moment in our day

October 22, 2009

My six year old daughter and five year old daughter lost a tooth tonight. First my five year old and later my six year old. I was honored that they trusted me enough to help them pull out their teeth without any tears or fear. It is the sixth for my six year old and [...]

Missing our girl

October 9, 2009

This is the second night that Emmie is not here. We miss her. Her surgery was this morning. The lump was easily removed. It was when the vet went in to sterilize Emmie that complications arose. The vet said it was “not pretty” in there. The rest of the explanation was a bit complicated for [...]

Update on my Emmie Cat

October 4, 2009

We took her to an animal clinic in Delémont and the staff was just perfect. It was all very quick, professional and thorough. She was given two shots to ease the inflammation (if that is what she has) in one of her nipples. I am to give her pills that do the same thing in [...]

Worried about Emmie Cat

September 27, 2009

Our Emmie has a lump on her stomach that I discovered about four days ago. It seems to be getting bigger or perhaps I am just over worried. We are going to take her to the vet hopefully tomorrow. I would love to get her seen as soon as possible and luck would have it [...]

How my cat turned into a kitty porn star

August 1, 2009

Our cat is in heat…Since Sunday. I am exhausted. She starts at four in the morning with her cat calls and kitty porn star behavior. In order to get her to stop howling I have to pet her which only excites her more (very disturbing) or throw her out on the balcony with the shutter [...]

Budding photographer

June 5, 2009

The other day, I was clearing off a memory card from my old camera so I could use it in the Nikon. I had a good laugh because it was full of photos that my six year old had taken. Most of the photos were of Emmie Cat. There are several of her posing with [...]
