Today I made an appointment for little Miss Sweetie Pie to get spayed next week. Since it is warming up rapidly, I want to get her out of my room!!!!! She is a teensy bit destructive and annoying and I am tired of being scratched and bloody (it’s how she shows her affection… purr, purr …
So, all of my stuff was loaded into a container and left the London Thamesport on the 29th of September on the good ship (at least I hope it’s good!) Hoechst Express which is owned and operated by Hapag-Lloyd which is a German shipping company. The ship is “expected” on the 20th of October in …
On Tuesday at around 2am GMT we awoke to get the proverbial “show on the road”. The cats were all duly corralled and crated and the car was loaded with baggage and animals. Driving to Heathrow at that hour of the day is quite easy which is probably a good thing as we had a …

8:00 am The sun is up in the sky over Central Minnesota. We left this morning even earlier than planned as my parents woke up and subsequently awoke me as well. Since we were all up at the absolutely ungodly hour of 2:55 we decided that it we had just as well get on the …
Yesterday was my first time riding a train in the US other than in a major city. I rode Amtrak from Chicago to Osceola, IA. Compared to all of the trains that I have ridden in Europe, it was a lot bumpier and rockier. I could only work on a dishcloth as the lace stole …
So, the past few days have been spent running around, eating at Jimmy John’s and Chipolte and friend’s houses. I’ve mastered two strollers. Well, ok, I mastered one of them and the other I’m pretty sure that I understand the concept behind. Anyway, Sarah and I have been bopping around shopping and running errands and getting …
