Happy 4th of July! Noel & I like to take a few minutes on each major holiday to think of what we're thankful for. Here are some things on our list this year:
1. A deep well - we're in such a terrible drought, but thanks to our well, we can still water our garden!
2. A great job - I'm also thankful to live in a country where, as a woman, I have the freedom to work outside the home and make my own money.
3. Our home - we live in a country where we have the freedom to move around, to decide where we want to go, and when we want to go there.
4. Texas Secessionists - even though I think the idea of the Republic of Texas doesn't make a lot of sense in this day and age, I'm thankful our country allows people to have their own opinions - one of the most important founding principles of the U.S.
Also, in case you didn't know, there is in fact still a contingent of people who think Texas should secede. We saw one of their billboards today. Craziness.
In cat-related news, Samson is growing like a weed! We actually introduced him to Poe & Loki today for a few minutes. It was....not a total disaster. Loki just sniffed a lot at Samson and tried to smack him , but Poe hissed and hissed. Then hid under the bed. So that's...not exactly great, but better than total carnage. We'll be doing the same type of introduction session nightly until everyone can get along just fine. It's a hard adjustment for them, but what else could we do?
Anyway, here are some updated pics of Samson. He's about 6 weeks now, and loves to play!

Happy 4th!! we're in NC, but will be back in Tejas the 30th of July. If you decide you don't want the kitten, make a road trip to Austin and we'll scoop him up. We've lost our Jack, and will be looking for a new friend for Rainbow as soon as we get back.
I want to see you!!!
Wow he is so ugly he is cute. Check out those ears. How could a mother put him out. Poe and Loki will get over their anger. We just let ours fight it out. Izzy got popped a couple times and still hasn't learned.
