baby birds and kitties

In between my house and my garage, I have a roof covered porch, we call the breezeway. It is a lovely cool spot with flowers and a table and a grill. Well, right now a wren family decided to move into my decorator birdhouse, kicked the flowers out of the birdhouse opening and moved in. I told her the house was crooked but she ignored me. Now we have baby birds, noisy baby birds, I can't see them but I hear them. If I go out and sit on the breezeway with my coffee she sits up there and chews me out.
My son lives next door, and he came for coffee before work this morning, and said "what is that noise?" Baby birds, I said, No, he says it sounds like a cat, WELL, a stray cat, we have been seeing in the neighborhood, decided to have her kittens in an old chest that I use for a little table to hold a plant. I covered it with a tablecloth and Mrs, Cat decided to have her kittens under it. Now everytime I go out I get growled at by a cat and scolded by mrs. Wren. Now , my son says, guess what, now I have a birdnest with baby birds in it, in my garage. I live by a creek, and there is all kinds of animals there, I hope they do not find out about my maternity ward. I will definitely be in trouble.
I have to admit, Mrs. Cat looks like she is starving, so I fed her!!! I know I should not have, but she is a momma and she needs her strength, and she is still hissing at me, but if I leave her alone, she may get used to us. She is eating the food I left out for her.

keeping name

I am keeping glory2001, it stands for one of my favorite Bon Jovi songs, Blaze of Glory, signifying my love of westerns, Bon Jovi, and music, so it stays.
I have been trying to get the weeds out of my veggie garden, so far it is an even race between me and the weeds. I will keep trying.
I went back to curves today,and I am going to continue and get back in shape. I need to keep going and keep busy.
I am still buried in paper work, but when I get off of this here computer, I will get a couple more papers done. Finish up the bills, and make sense of my book keeping.
My son Eric, (the coach) came home to pick up his son, who has been staying with me, and to go to his and twin's 20th class reunion. They had a good time, and while he was here, he cooked some pork and beef brisket on the grill for me, I gave them some and now I can munch on the meat, add some noodles left over, and I do not have to cook for days. I will add a salad and it will tasty, and healthy. I might have to have a bowl of ice cream for dessert, which means I really need to keep going to curves.
I am going to try to keep my mood up, even though tomorrow is the month anniversary of my husbands death. It feels like ten years since I have seen him, and I have good and bad moments. Today I received a notice that an old friend(a girl, but not a girl friend) of Jim's read in the Springfield paper that he passed away, and sent a memorial to the VFW in his honor. He would have been surprised and so very pleased that Ann remembered him so well.
The paper work calls me, so I had better scoot.

new blog name

I use glory2001 as a pen name , my real name is Jan Christian, and I wonder if anybody has any suggestions for a new name(be nice).

trying to keep busy

I am trying to keep busy and not feel sad, so I am turning to my garden outside, and clutter busting. My veggie garden is coming along, but I have bought flowers and they are not put in pots. It is time to fend off the blues, my grandson is going to be with me a couple days. He will help keep me up, I need to help him learn how to move on from losing grandpa.
I have decided to check out my cookbooks, and learn to cook for just me, and once in a while my son(who is a bachelor and lives next door.). This summer I thinking crockpot meals with stuff from my veggie garden.
