I am an East Coast expatriate hiding out in the Midwest...

I am an urban gal living in the suburbs and occasionally hiding in the country

I am a yoga practitioner, fitness enthusiast, believer in the mind-body-spirit connection...

I am a mid-life "revert" to the Roman Catholic faith in which I was raised and which has become an enormous source of support, encouragement, inspiration, and joy in my life...

I am a mom, sister, daughter, and wife...

I am an explorer; adventurous and curious about the world and people around me...

I am educated in the formal sense but I gain insight through everyday living...

I created this blog at a time of great fear and apprehension in my life. I chose to sustain it because of the discoveries about myself and the world around me that it has revealed.



What you can expect to find here:
  • the documentation of a love-hate relationship with the greater Philadelphia area
  • reminiscing about the good-ole-days (the 80's!)
  • complaints about my various ailments and injuries, both real and imagined
  • pictures and stories of gardening, decorating, shopping, sewing
  • my love of irony
  • links to kooky news stories
  • way too much scatological musing for sane people

    More Pets on Parade

    To give equal time to a few of my other furry friends... here are some recent photos:

    Percy is gorgeous and he knows it. We have had him since he was not quite 6 weeks old. He was born at our neighbors house, and lived with BOTH cat parents.We chose him from the litter because I could tell he'd have long hair even as a tiny puffball of a kitten. Since he is the only pet of ours not from a shelter, we call him "The Little Prince." He adores my husband and begs to sit on his lap (as seen in picture), runs to the door when he comes home from work, etc. He bites ME on the toes or ankles when he's hungry... he is a BRAT to me and very demanding. He loves to play "fetch" and wrestle with Lucky.

    Here is a picture of our "newest" cat, Lucky, hanging out with his friend, Megan the Scottish terrier. I'll spare you the sad details, but "Lucky" is very lucky, indeed. We rescued him off the street at just under 1 year old, and he was not in great shape. He has since become a very healthy, hearty, and incredibly sweet-natured boy (he has all 4 paws; the picture is deceiving.)

     He favors me and my daughter, tends to "nap" next to Megan, and enjoys playing each evening with his toys or his pal, Percy. He is the antithesis of "brat" - even coming to say "thank you" after being fed each evening by rubbing on my legs as he purrs. Don't tell the others but he is my favorite pet!

    Gee, they are both cute. (hubby and cat) I chose my adjective carefully because I don't wish to be banned).

    Amen to some furry friend time. AND BTW is that your husband holding Percy? Damn woman you are a lucky soul he is adorable (in a manly kind of way of course)

    Wow... Percy IS gorgeous, but then again, so is Lucky. And we know Meagan is a cutie!

    I think you have some fine looking animals, Brandy!!

    Actually Percy is just fluffy and has wide feet. He's fairly small for a male cat. Probably the smallest cat I have ever had. His momma was a tiny long-haired calico, his dad was medium-sized.

    Lucky is much taller and longer but he has short hair. In this pic, Lucky is just waking up...he sort of has a scary-looking face but he is truly a sweet boy!

    Percy IS gorgeous, and a big guy too from the looks of it. And I love the pic of Lucky, I can just make out his eyes amidst all that black. I want a black cat!
