DreamWeaver's Quilts Quilt Epiphany Weblog

Today was one of those days where I despair of getting anything done at all. Poor Patches had to spend part of the morning at the veterinarian’s office for an exploratory teeth cleaning. The vet decided to remove two of this teeth, and when I picked him up he wasn’t doing too well. I spent [...]

Sometimes I think “everything I need to know I learned from my cats.” We should follow their example, and do what we do best: This picture is remarkable, but obviously not because they’re sleeping.
