A New Pet For The Pace Family

We are now the proud owners of a new little kitten we have named Midnight. He is a stray that has been hanging around the neighborhood. I felt sorry for it, so I fed him and he of course stayed. He will be an outside cat, for the most part, but right now he is spending the next seven days cooped up in a cat carrier, because we had him fixed today. After that back outside he goes. He is a really sweet cat and although I think most cats are the spawn of Satan, I really like Midnight. He is a very affectionate cat and really likes people. He of course, is black and he is between four and six month old. I figure he will hunt the mice and moles in the yard and for the most part he just hangs around the property. At night, we may put him in his cat carrier to keep him safe from the coyotes.

I would post a picture, but recently our digital camera bit the dust, so until we can afford a new one we won't have pictures. Sorry Marthea, pictures of the new deck will have to wait. Maybe if Jeff can get out here while he is visiting, he can get a picture for you so you can see it.

The children are really glad to have Midnight and spend many hours petting and chasing him down. He is so good natured about it all. We are very happy to have such a super cat.

It Has Finally Happened!

After five long years of waiting and saving, the deck project has finally been accomplished! We get to use it this weekend for Christopher's birthday party. So pictures will come later. Dustin, Mike, and their helper Phil did an awesome job. We are very pleased with the result. Now we are able to go out our sliding glass door and get even more of a cross breeze in the living and kitchen space. There are other jobs that need doing but now we can at least scratch this one off the list.
