Remembering that one time you had to eat bean salad at your grandma's house because your mom gave you "the look." #cats

My doorknobs are really pretty adorable. Not quite "Alice in Wonderland," but close enough.

A poem I just wrote about the lake that was my second home during childhood summers. #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetsofbluesky #nostalgia

I admire, I admire
a good, sturdy dog.
One to horse for the kiddies,
one to leap for tossed balls.
I admire the way they shake off a bad day
and climb on the sofa to dream it away.
I admire a good boy, a good girl. I do!
One who'll stay by my feet,
one to walk beside you.

Ever since Microsoft Edge was updated on my PC, my bookmarks have not been working correctly unless I click on them three or four times. Anyone else having this issue? #MicrosoftEdge #computing

You've had your food.
It has been et.
Don't ask for more--
that's all you get. #cats
