Look closely [enlarge it], in the background, at the Harbor Bridge [the 2nd tallest in Texas] You'll see the ship's "bridge" going UNDER the bridge, on the ship's channel at the city's Port of Entry. Actually, it's the ship's smoke stack you see, but I'd prefer to say its bridge, in front of the smoke stack, is just about under the automobile bridge. It looks like a target - bulls-eye. Title for post: "To bear in with the land" and headfast - headfast is: A rope employed to confine the head of a ship to a wharf to bear in with the land: loosely, to near port for docking.

I most definitely consider Madi a FURiend of mine. And yesterday, on her blog, she had an award that she was passing on to us who are her blogging buddies. Along with the award there are rules of course. One is to give a link to take you to her blog. Which I'll do right now. Madi the Diva. Rule #2 is to post seven things about me that you don't know. Since Madi is the diva of all cats, I thought I'd share some facts of our two cats [Tahoe is a spayed female. Winston is a neutered male]:

Tahoe was adopted in Tucson.

Tahoe has a microchip in case she is lost

That was her name at the adoption center, we never changed it.

BUT!!! Tahoe comes running when we call "purrdy kitty"!!!

Winston was adopted here in Corpus Christi from the Humane Society

On his CFA registration card, he had the name YODA something or other...a big fancy schumcky name. We thought he looked like Winston Churchill...and the name stuck; Winston

Winston was on a TV commercial for the Humane Society

When Winston meows, he squeaks

Rule #3 is to share this award. If you'd like it for your blog...take it with you when you leave here, with my regards!! After all, anyone who visits with me is considered a friend.





And I'd like to thank Madi and her Mom for their generosity!!

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDIN' ME!!! NO WAY!!!!


I saw this on the online newspage from our local TV news station. I don't want to believe it, but I KNOW it's possible!! [we had about 2" of snow the first winter we lived here on Christmas Eve no less] And here, last week we had high temperatures of the mid 70s to lower 80s!!! Guess we'll be covering up our tender plants outdoors.....
