My final full day of house/cat-sitting for the neighbors. Very little of real interest happened. However, they have a cool, new wall clock.

Cats Again: Day Two Point Five
My second full day of house/cat-sitting. This time I’m adding a few lesser quality cell phone shots that I sent to the neighbor whose house I’m staying at, just to show her that the cats are doing fine. The Four Peters is technically from late last night, but it was what I was watching when …

Cats Again: Day One Point Five
Back house/cat-sitting for the neighbors. After spending the first of four nights, today was my first of three full and two half days. That sounds more confusing than it really is. The cats understand it, though.

Health Fair At Seaport Village
Met Sylvia and Rodrigo over at Seaport Village as they were out walking their fur-kids, Lilo and Stitch. We ended walking through a Health Fair that was going on at the same time and were given free samples of O.N.E. Coconut Water (which I surprisingly found kind of disgusting) as well as bottles of Solar Rain drinking water, …

Easter Dinner With Family
The entire San Diego portion of our family came over for an Easter Sunday dinner that my mom had put together, which included the requisite swirrel-sliced, honey-glazed ham, some salad, boiled asparagus, baked beans, corn and cooked potato chunks, and then finished with some home-made cheese cake that my mom had baked. My nephew, Stephen, and …

Cats – Day Four And Last Full Day
My last full day of taking care of the neighbors’ eight cats. It basically was the same as the other three days of taking care of the neighbors’ eight cats. Spend the night on their couch, feed the felines three times, fresh water twice a day, and clean out the three litter boxes three times …

Cats – Day Three
Normally the neighbors’ cats enjoy watching a good bird show outside one of the bedroom windows. Keeps ’em busy for hours. Today though they had a special treat in store. A gopher (quite possibly the same one that’s been burrowing in our backyard until recently) scored a jackpot by digging up underneath a bird feeder …

Cats – Day Two
Day two of my cat/house-sitting. Other than a nasty bodily organ-looking hairball, there weren’t any major surprises.

Back With The Cats – All Eight Of Them
First full day cat/house-sitting for the neighbors again. With eight jet-black cats it’s a good thing I’m not superstitious (crossing my fingers).

Video Chat With Brenda And Musi
Had another nice video chat all the way from Austin, Texas with my great friend Brenda and her furry, four-legged son, my nephew, Musi.

Tapias House Sitting Day Four
My last full day of house-sitting for Sylvia and Rodrigo. Started out with occasional heavy downpours and incredibly strong wind gusts, proof of which is the large, broken branch from the neighbor’s tree across the street, sandwiched between minutes of blue sky and sunshine. The one outdoor shot below was taken sandwiched between some steady …

Tapias House Sitting Day Three
So today was a really rainy day which meant I was stuck inside. Didn’t really mind though since I had fun with Lilo and Stitch, including Lilo helping me get the mail and Stitch playing tug-a-war with his shredded, pink monkey. I also took a bunch more pictures, got updates about WonderCon from Randy, and …

Tapias House Sitting Day Two
Of course there are obviously the required daily shots of the doggies, but I also had a nice lunch with my good friend, Lannie, today at a nearby Rubio’s. We did what we always do…talk about our lives, but mostly about our friends’ lives. Normally I have my usual two fish tacos, but today I …

Tapias House Sitting Day One
After being picked up the night before, spending the night and then dropping them off at the airport long before even the sun got up, I began my house-sitting for the Tapias by getting shots of not only their fur-kids, Lilo and Stitch, but also of a hummingbird that began nesting on an Asian-themed wind …

Time With The Tapias
Spent some time with my friends, the Tapias, playing with their fur-kids (Lilo and Stitch), discovering a juvenile alligator lizard with an impressively long tail, helping Rodrigo flush the pool filter, visiting Sylvia’s parents, running errands at Costco and Home Depot, rewarding ourselves with a trip to Starbucks, and then lounging and watching an entertaining …
