#SATurday: The Lesson of Cats
The Lesson of Cats I didn’t always like cats. In fact, I think it’s fair to confess how much I hated them. (A lot). I was raised with big dogs in the house – 3 to be exact – and my only experience with a cat resulted in a large and deep scratch slicing across… Continue reading #SATurday: The Lesson of Cats

#SATurday My False Memories and Her Smile
#SATurday My False Memories and Her Smile Recently, I was watching a documentary on Netflix.
