Love the blog, just found it a couple weeks ago. Born in Eureka and an old house diehard, so it's a treasure for me. So far I have read 2005, 2006 and 2010.

After the grandmother died, their family put the boy in a home and abandoned his cat.<br /><br />I took the cat in when I realized what had happened, but he turned out to be in the final stages of a terminal disease, so he didn't have a very long time as my kitty.<br /><br />It just about broke my heart to see how grateful he was to be fed and cared for.Karen Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306986336556283751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-5842521676059490202010-09-23T08:34:32.771-07:002010-09-23T08:34:32.771-07:00I like your runner choice.

(We rebuilt the stairs a couple of years ago so they're not quite so steep.) The original stairs were nothing special and the new ones aren't either, so they'll have to be covered by full carpet. The husband keeps thinking we can get runner by the yard from a local big box. I keep telling him no.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-44817194532220612862010-09-23T07:35:56.557-07:002010-09-23T07:35:56.557-07:00Last night at 10:00 I shot off and email to rugsal...Last night at 10:00 I shot off and email to rugsale.com asking if I could change the width to 27-inch. This morning I had a live chat on their site with a salesman and officially canceled the the 40-inch runner and ordered the 27-inch runner. It will show more of the treads, but so be it.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807710209656158413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-27830743662100879742010-09-23T07:30:35.536-07:002010-09-23T07:30:35.536-07:00It is funny you guys should be talking about cats....It is funny you guys should be talking about cats. Nubs, the cat from 2 houses down seems to have been abandoned.
