Little, Blind Cat Gussie is Gone

There is a tiny, little furry body, wrapped in a towel, resting for the last time on our hearth. We lost our little Gussie during the night. She was sixteen, and had a hard time for many years not being afraid of everyone except me. When she went blind two years ago, a sort of miracle happened. She came out from under the bed, and spent the last two years, being loved and loving.
Rest in Peace our darling girl.

Running Away From Home (Page)

You are probably wondering, "Why is this woman rambling, and why is this entire post backwards, and why the heck is she here anyway....? Just because I learned to love coming here, and although it was started (hence the title - Jessica's Interior's Etc) the Etc. was the fun part. So, now I am a partner in Enlightened Interiors LLC, and am working on building a business in a (in case ya'll have noticed) a terrible economy...too much worry, too many people out-of-work..including my husband - too many angry people...me included...So, I came to just put up my photos..say, "Hey", hey, and go to bed, perchance to dream something more interesting than this blog. (and yes, it is backwards).

I don't know if anyone comes here anymore, but if you do, thanks..


This is Evelyn, loving her roses...You might want to read this post backwards, as that is exactly what it is...as is my life..topsy-turvy, upside-down, ass-backwards....

Why is it that on my "other blog", the photos are in order, the writing is in order, and on this one, I just can't seem to get there....I can't put a HERE, and you click on it, and it takes you wherever...SO, I am too tired to just fight it, and I ran away from facebook for awhile..and am sharing my black-and-white photos... This was our beloved "Lizzie" dog, and our very much missed "Mehetible"...Lizzie was a sweetie, and would share just about anything with anyone...except for "Cow", and this duck...She tried to share, but just couldn't.

They both have been gone for such a long time, but I miss them every day.

I know, I'm supposed to be doing other things; working on my/our other blog, "Enlightened Interiors"...and I do...I also love my design partner, but there is a part of me that needs to be here, as well

Fine, my photos are out-of-order, my thoughts are random, I'm not talking about Interior Design, but then, I have another blog for that

To me, the world has gone mad..just crazy mad.

I went through some of my thousands of black-and-white negatives the other day, and had some printed off, after which, I scanned them in. I miss my darkroom....I know that things are much easier here in computer-land, but there was something about going into my very "rustic", (read, no running water, in the basement, with the spiders, cold, damp, and well...dark), putting some music on (usuallyNPR), and spending hours, standing on my feet on a concrete floor...making magic. Well, I thought it was making magic.

Missing AllY'all....Truly

THIS HAS BEEN MY VERY OWN 'HOME' BLOG

FOR A VERY LONG TIME, AND I MISS IT.

I LOVE MY NEW BUSINESS, AND WE ARE

WORKING HARD AT IT, WITH SOME GOOD THINGS HAPPENING,

THAT SAID, I AM A GEMINI (A DOUBLE GEMINI).

THAT'S THE OTHER ME DOWN THERE ON THE STONE

WALL....I AM WATCHING MYSELF FROM MY

BALCONY AND SAYING, 'SELF, I MISS YOU'

SOOOO, I AM DROPPING IN TO SAY HELLO AND

HOPEFULLY, YOU WILL COME BY AND SAY, "hey"

RIGHT BACK ATCHA.

DO YOU EVER FEEL LIKE YOU ARE ON THE

OUTSIDE OF LIFE LOOKING IN, OR ON THE INSIDE, LOOKING OUT?

TIME RACES BY, AND ONE WONDERS, WHERE HAS

IT GONE, WHAT HAVE I DONE?

THIS IS EMMA; SHE WAS ONE OF MY

"CHILDREN"...I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHING

CHILDREN, AS THEY ARE SO HONEST.

DON'T HER EYES SHOW HOW HONEST AND INNOCENT

SHE IS?

BY NOW, SHE IS A YOUNG WOMAN, AND I HOPE SOME

OF THAT REMAINS.

THIS IS GINA MAE, WHO HAS LONG SINCE OUTGROWN

THE CHERRY BOWL....AGAIN, THE SWEET INNOCENCE

I AM TRYING TO REGAIN THE JOY OF THE LITTLE

THINGS IN LIFE.

SLOWLY.

OUR DAYS ON THIS PLAIN ARE LIMITED...EVEN THOUGH, AS

CHILDREN, WE BELIEVE THEY WILL GO ON FOREVER,

BUT, AS WE GET OLDER THEY WHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOSH BY.

I AM THINKING OF OPENING AN ETSY SHOP (ME AND

THOUSANDS OF OTHERS)...I NEED A PLACE TO

PUT MY "creations"...I AM THINKING OF CALLING IT,

"JESSE ETC."

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
