http://suzassippi.blogspot.com/2015/07/kitty-update.html
Suzassippi's Lottabusha County Chronicles. Thursday, July 30, 2015. They are currently in the "let's climb up on something and jump off" stage. Preferably, jump off onto another kitty. Easily distracted by a new exploration option. And loving this new idea of eating something called "kitten food". Oh, how adorable they are! The tortie is my favorite, but they are all precious! I can just imagine them all playing and then crashing for a nap with Mama! July 30, 2015 at 6:09 PM. July 30, 2015 at 6:15 PM.

http://suzassippi.blogspot.com/2015/07/welcome-home-from-texas-present.html
Suzassippi's Lottabusha County Chronicles. Monday, July 27, 2015. Welcome home from Texas present. The stand-off lasted for 2 weeks, and then I left for Texas.

Suzassippi's Lottabusha County Chronicles. Thursday, July 12, 2012. Doors- keeping you in, or keeping you out? I find myself often taking photographs of doors. Partly, it is my interest in the little details of a building- door openers, trim, windows, entry ways. There is just something about a door that beckons me to look through it, at what is on the other side and what is on this side. Those days have long been gone, as has Maggie. Then after Kate and Libby reached their irreconcilable differences...

Suzassippi's Lottabusha County Chronicles. Monday, August 10, 2015. Union Avenue Books in Knoxville: Books for Independent People.
