New Addition to the Family

I just wanted to share a photo (taken with a cell phone) of our newest family member, Yum Yum. My wife and daughters went to the Humane Society today and as they were looking at kittens, a lady who fosters cats came through the door with this kitten, her litter mates, and her mother. Needless to say, they immediately fell in love with this 4 month old Siamese kitten and she will be coming home on Sunday. The pink mark on her head is to let others know that she has been adopted. Of course she will have to be kept separate from Koko for a few days, but we hope in the long run that they will get along great. Finally, after 8 years, we have the complete set....Koko and Yum Yum!! (The names of the Siamese cats in The Cat Who...series, by Lilian Jackson Braun)

A New Fitness Site

I am honored to announce that I have been asked by Mountain Woman from Red Pine Mountain to co-author a new blog, which will focus on becoming fit through movement. We are not talking about jogging 20 miles a day, but by starting out slowly and building endurance. Exercise can take many forms and we will be discussing the various types of activities you can do. We also want to make it a point to offer help and advice for those who need it. We have both been through the dense weight-loss jungle and we would like to be your guide.

So, I invite you to stop by Get Moving with Mountain Woman and tahtimbo for a visit and if you know of anyone who is on a diet or is thinking of losing weight, please have them stop by.
