My new profile pic
Do you like my new profile pic? It's my cat, Julie. I can never seem to find a picture of myself that I like and I think my cat is pretty so there ya go. We went to visit my grandpa over Labor Day weekend. He lives in Arkansas near Bull Shoals Lake. He has a barn full of wild cats. Last month when I was down there one of the momma cats just had kittens who barely had their eyes open. Since then both my grandpa and his neighbor have had kittens that have all been dying. So this last weekend when I went back there was only one left so I took him before he could meet the same fate as his siblings. So I got him to the vet and she says he's probably only 5 or 6 weeks old and was flea, mite, and tick ridden. She said his little body was covered in bruises probably due to being anemic from all the bug bites. She said he was severely underweight, weighing almost 1 pound. So that just reinforced how happy I was to have saved him. The boys love him and Owen named him Ghost Rider. Owen is a big-time Johnny Cash fan. How many 4 year olds can sing all the words to Ring of Fire, Walk the Line, and Ghost Rider? Maybe not the most appropriate choice of music on my part but hey he knows Old McDonald too. I had to back off a little bit of Mr. Cash when I heard my son singing, "I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die." That wasn't cool. Bad Mommy. At least I can still listen to whatever I want when it's just Parker and me- for now.

I love Johnny Cash. Especially that particular lyric.
And I remember going to Arkansas once with you and Micah. Weird and crazy.
