Hi everyone! This is Foster and Mom said I could do a post about my most recent vet visit! I can't wait to tell you all about it! I might start by mentioning that if your Human ever puts your cat carrier down on the kitchen floor and opens it, don't just walk right in! …

Raised By Swedes (and at least one Dane)

On September 23, 2017March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn family history

Perhaps you have picked up on the fact that I was "raised by Swedes"...and, to be accurate, a few Danes too. You have to be raised by Swedes (or Danes or Norwegians) to really understand the meaning of the phrase. Or maybe you've read enough of Garrison Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion" to get it. …

Pets in Space

On September 8, 2017March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing

...Or, How to Draw Animals the Mrs. Tracy Way It took me awhile to find where I had posted this drawing before, but I found it at the end of "More Whimsy". I thought it would be a good starting place for a "How-To" post about drawing animals, which I promised to do in "How …

A New Discovery

On September 4, 2017January 28, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Uncategorized

If life had background music... You'd probably be hearing the theme from "Jaws" right about now... Suffice it to say that a certain cat has recently discovered that there's only one thing more fun than playing behind the shower curtain at 9:00 PM... ...and that's playing behind the shower curtain at 2:30 AM! "But Mom, …

You've heard of UFO sightings, but have you ever heard of Panda sightings?? Well hold onto your hat, because you're about to enter the Panda Zone...

No More Floating Shelves!

On August 27, 2017March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard

"No more wire hangers!" You may be familiar with this phrase from the 1978 book "Mommie Dearest" by Christina Crawford. Well, now I have my own phrase: "No more floating shelves!" But allow me to explain. You may remember reading about my floating shelves awhile back in "Climbing the Walls." It's not the shelves I …

A Bush Grows in Fresno

On August 23, 2017March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard

I was at Barnes and Noble awhile back and they had a lot of posters up about classic literature. When I saw the one for "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn", I got the idea for this post. This bottlebrush tree was in our backyard when we were married in 1992. I came across the photo …

Back to the Drawing Pad

On August 12, 2017March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Foster and Panda

"It always starts when Foster gets bored." -Panda   I have to say I don't know what Panda is talking about, because I never get bored. I just like adventure. And I happened to remember that Mom has all these drawing books in the living room. So when we were looking out the front window …
