We have a new kitty whose name is Ziggy. He is a beautiful little fur ball. He has some dark markings but is mostly white. We like to watch him play with all his kitty toys. He likes to climb and jump and will do so until he gets tired. The kids really enjoy spending time with him and they get along just fine.

He was born in January and is growing fast. It’s funny when he gets tired as he will fall asleep almost instantly. I’m glad to welcome him into the fold and I know he will bring us much joy and happiness through the years!

The building that I work in is huge. Not only does it contain my company that is takes up most of the first floor, it also houses many other companies as well. There is a huge credit company that takes up the second floor, as well as a commercial medical company that inhabits the third floor. I once heard that the building was estimated to be worth about 60 million dollars. I don’t know that’s true, but I’m sure it’s worth a lot just the same.

With only about nine flights scheduled before the space shuttles are retired, there is still some work to do. The shuttle Endeavour is being prepared for a rescue mission. Concerns that the shuttle Atlantis may find trouble has led NASA to prepare for an emergency rescue mission if needed. I’m sure we all remember what happened to the shuttle Columbia which ended the lives of seven astronauts.

I hope the mission is not needed, but I’m glad we are prepared just in case. I believe the space program is important and will lead to new discoveries on earth as well as in space. Good luck to crews of these missions!

Since the weather has gotten a lot nicer, I have been working in the garden more often. The other day it had rained in the night and since I had turned the dirt, it was very muddy. It’s a good thing I had my old pair of Muck Boots. They kept my feet warm and dry.

I really like these boots. They are not real heavy like the ones we had when I was a kid. They also have a mesh lining that helps keep your feet dry. I also like the fact that they don’t have shoelaces to mess with. Whenever I see rain in the forecast, I know I am ready to take on the garden anyway.
