A DIY gift 'with love' & a plan

I had a lot of fun putting together a recipe book of some of my mothers', my mother-in-laws' and my own favorite recipes for my three kids.

In the chaos of the day I did not get many pictures of it but you get the idea. I know they will enjoy trying out these recipes that they have loved since they were little gaffers and I left a little bit of room in the book for them to add their own favorites, too.

I am still running around enjoying all my visits with the cats in my care. I truly love this job and don't even consider it work but I do have a plan for the future. I hope to open a cat-boarding kennel on a piece of property that we own in the country. Of course, we will build a home there also and hopefully it will all start to happen in 2011. I need to start praying about this one. It will be my little piece of heaven with a little cat kennel right next door. A brand spanking new home and a brand spanking new building to turn into a beautiful little cat kennel. Just the thought of it is so exciting I could faint. 

I have a lot to research in the next few months so I will keep you posted on this. Should be fun! I know of a local rescue near the property and would want to foster for them once we have a building.  They always need more foster homes. In the meantime, I will keep caring for cats in their own homes (where I think they are happiest) and I will certainly continue that also in the country if the owners prefer. I'd like to be able to give them the option. Rather unique, I do believe.
