Busy time

Many people have stopped paying attention to the Brewers but really they are still exciting and interesting.  They have the best pitcher in the Majors since May 8th.  No one in the Majors has a better ERA then Mike Fiers who was called up from Class A. 1.80 and in his last nine starts has an ERA of 1.07. So yea the Brewers are out of it this year but are still spoilers, still battling. They have a new rookie shortstop they are trying out,...

Speaking of Japanese.  Did you see the Olympics...

RIP Sierra, at least you found Blake

As heart broken as we were at Blakes passing, the cats were taking it hard also. Milo just lays around where Blake used to pace and Sierra Sunday decided to take matters into her own hands and go looking for him.Sadly we were finding it much easier to keep her inside.  She was extremely fast and when we had the door open for Blake she would take advantage of Blake when he could not decide when to jump off the 3 inch cliff out the door.So Sunday...
