Tocho, as usual, is not amused.....

Later, he will hunt his prey by lurking in the bird bath....

Why I Loathe Mitt Romney

This post nails it:  "It basically comes down to this: Mitt Romney has spent his entire life preying on the weak and defenseless, always from a position of complete safety for himself. In other words, he's a coward."

Swing Moggy

Herbert seems to be enjoying our grandson's baby swing.   It was interesting watching him get in there (take that US Olympic Gymnastics team!).  Once settled, he slept for a couple of hours.

Republicans, Get in My Vagina!

Domaine Laroque 2010

We enjoyed this wine at the suggestion of one of the sales staff at Central Market on Lamar.   100% cabernet franc.  Nice stone minerality and low alcohol of 13% - which was good since it was 96 degrees in ATX yesterday.   We sipped it whilst gnoshing on crackers and a cheese ball made of balsamic vinegar onions and feta.   Under $10 which is hard to beat.   Glad we picked up a second bottle.  

Latest creations

I've been busy crocheting some baby afghans for my new grandson.   This one uses University of Texas burnt orange and white, with black for some contrast:

I'm calling this one "Bright" in honor of my daughter who commented that it was (I don't think she likes it - HA).    I used some leftover bright and multi-colored ombre yarn to make the granny squares, then single crocheted the edges with royal blue.: 

Birthday Girl

Happy 28th birthday to my beloved daughter!!   You are my sweetie pie.
