Back To The Same Old

One thing I want to do is to answer a few questions and address a few comments that were made on my February Photo A Day posts.  I'm just going to mention names but not tag anyone because I am too lazy! I hope that is okay. 

For the post with the photos of mine and Rich's parents. Betty asked if they had long marriages. My parents were married for 48 years before my mom passed away. 

Rich's parents were married for I think about 35 years. His dad was married before and had three kids from his first wife and was about 50 when Rich was born. Rich was only 23 when his dad passed away. 

Andrea was trying to figure out how many cats we have. We have three cats; Smudge, Max and Coco. Smudge is 17 years old and Max and Coco are 15 so they are senior cats. 

Which brings me to why we couldn't let the Husky Kona into our house when she was on our deck. The cats were already freaked out just having her on the porch and Kona was very excited so there was no way we would have let her in! We did however go outside and play with her while we were waiting for her parents to pick her up! It was snowing pretty heavily but not very cold out. She was having a blast running around in all the snow and her heavy coat was keeping her nice and warm! She would run down the street and when I called her name she would run right back to me! It probably took about 15 minutes for her owners to come and get her! She really is a wonderful dog! 

Debby asked if we still have wolves in Michigan.  We have grey wolves, but they are mostly located in the northern part of the state.  I think at the moment it is forbidden to hunt them I'm not sure. It seems to change with every administration! There is a permanent wolf population on Isle Royale, though, to keep the moose population down!  We do have a lot of coyotes around here though and we see and hear them quite often! 

Ginny asked how far we live from Lake Michigan. It's about a 3-hour drive to Lake Michigan. We live much closer to Lake Huron, so we go there more.  We love Lake Michigan for the beautiful sunsets and Lake Huron for the beautiful sunrises! 

Betty asked if my Equinox would be in the shop for long. It was only in the shop for two days. Since the other guy's insurance company was paying for my rental car, they made sure the shop got it repaired pretty fast. I was glad to get rid of the rental car, though.  Yuck!  I mean, it was a rental that had 56 thousand miles on it and all I could think was how many people had driven it. It kind of grossed me out so I hardly wanted to touch anything! I'm weird like that!

I got my car fixed in time to turn it in and lease a new one. 

It's a 2022 Equinox. 

And lastly the results from my mammogram are all good for another year.  

I leave you with a picture of Max and Smudge. 

Laying together on the bed we have by the heat register on the floor! Probably dreaming up new ways to torment their sister!

Until the next time stay safe and well my friends!
