Who am I? I have a happy little existence with my husband, my large yellow lab & my two kittens. My dog is 100 lbs of bouncy joy. My male cat is addicted to "Greenies", catnip & thinks he's a dog. My female cat looks like a sweet housecat, but is a serial killer.
I took up fencing after I turned 40 & wanted to find a sport that would keep me active and fit into my old age.
I spend my time coaching beginners, training, & working at our vintage autosound business.
Note: Some of my blog entries are only available to my "Blog Buddies". They are either private in nature or about coaching. I make my coaching entries private becuase public entries can be read by the general public. While I never use names, the descriptions of the events can reveal information and I want to respect the privacy of my students. If you would like to be on my list, please PM me and I will add you.

What can I say but Have a wonderful time! One of these days I'm going to h...
I'm up at some ungodly hour yesterday to head off to a car show. We're going down a usually busy road and we see this squirrel weaving all over the street with something bright red on his head.
No he wasn't coming home from a party.... he had a candy package stuck on his head. So we stop the car, and I run out and plunk it off. As I turn to get back in my car, I notice the line-up of cars behind me... with people clapping.
It was a funny way to start a day. Although I kinda felt like Snow White helping the little woodland creatures.
On the other hand... I feel even with karma... my last dog killed a squirrel and the crows got very upset with him. For weeks every time we went to that park they swooped down and harassed him. We had to change parks for a while. I hate squirrels, but he was going to get smushed if he didn't get that candy package off his head.
So I feel less guilty over my dog causing a senseless death by helping prevent one. I know... stupid, but I don't like seeing lives taken without purpose.
