day one...

[[[ new camera!  ]]]

thank you Mom and Dad!!!

Random, the birthday cat.

Where we first met one year ago...  His old hang-out outside our kitchen window...


Before he became a plump cat.

wines not worth mentioning...

...so i won't say anything more.  but here's two photos for reference.

 [these three deserving of an only-one-word review:  "meh..."]

The Girard 1999 Red Wine below was quite delicious (please ignore Random's expression, as he's not a big wine drinker).

But, actually, please don't ignore his expression, the picture's more about him than the wine anyway.
