First half of July 2024

It’s been a very hot July. We’re are so glad we have AC in our house.  We’ve been busy with college visits, medical appointments, work for July & Ally and volunteering. 

UConn College Tour 90+ degrees. 

Cloey is not a fan of the 4th of July. But she was very happy to sit on Beth’s lap while Becky grilled a feast for dinner.


Family selfie on the 4th.

Mornings are the best time on our little deck.

Ally couldn’t take the basement clutter anymore and spent several hours organizing Becky’s sewing supplies. Cloey was not a very big help.


We met up with Guat Girls at Rosa’s community pool.

Ally worked at her gym job last week.

And we finally got a foster kitten. This sweet dark brown kitten needs to learn to like people. The shelter separated her from her sisters and mom because as a group they were hissing and biting humans. Solo she is still pretty fearful but lets us hold her and pet her. 


We named her Teddy because she looks like a bear.

Teddy will probably stay with us for 2 weeks.

Daisy is still Daisy. She’s who gave us so much experience in how to socialize a kitten. 

Then Friday the shelter put out a request for someone to come pick up 2 tiny two week old kittens. I figure we could manage them in addition to Teddy.

They are so tiny. And just learning how to eat solid food.



Ally and I went to Marist college for a tour on another 90 degree day. Long drive over 8 hours round trip. Becky stayed home to care for all the kittens.

They are not very good at eating.



But they are really good at looking adorable.
