We moved over the weekend. We were in a ranch before, and now have a colonial. I like the bedrooms upstairs, but now there is a door in the kitchen that closes off the steps to the basement. Since the cat's litter boxes are in the basement, we got a cat door so they could just hop thru it and we wouldn't have to leave that door open all the time. Well, my cats are so massive that I had to get a plus size cat door. Seriously!!

And when one moves to Parma, you must have a pink flamingo:

Then there are these guys. My mom was sure my dad was losing his marbles, when he yelled that there were ducks on my new tree lawn. Not really something you see everyday. Turns out he was right and the ducks have been back everyday since then. There's a pond very close to our house so I'm assuming that that is their home and they just stopped by for a visit. It's a male & female pair of mallards, who I've heard mate for life. Very cute :-)
