Paws to Claws

|
Paws To Claws From California To Kansas

These are my two adorable kitties, Diesel Gambrinus (black and white) and Riley Moonshine (gray and fluffy). I adopted them in September when they were about two and a half months old. They are my spoiled little babies and I love them! They also have totally different personalities… Diesel is smarter and more cautious. Riley is not the sharpest tool in the shed but she’s a sweetie. Enjoy!

Weekend Update

|

I had a productive MORNING on Friday, which is rare… Picked up pottery I painted last weekend, bought some groceries, and found tennis shoes and a carry-on suitcase that I love. All before getting some Thai for lunch!

Saturday I went to the 67th Block House Steeplechase! It was cold, which was not cool, but we still had a good time! I brought cupcakes, pinwheels, and Mexican dip. I have to admit I only saw the last horse race… I was too busy having fun!

Well as we all know America has not had a good week… But as I type this they did just capture the second Boston Marathon bombing suspect. My thoughts are with all the Boston and West, Texas victims and their families. ❤

Throwback Thursday

KRSsLzw

On this day four years ago, I visited Washington DC! My friend Colin was doing an internship there and my other friend Tessa lived not that far away, so she and her boyfriend drove in and met us for the weekend. We stayed at a swanky hotel in Dupont Circle, went to a crazy burlesque/sideshow bar, and did all the touristy stuff as well… The White House, monuments, memorials, and museums!
