  • Tooth Extraction

    Normal, IL, August 2026 The first post about Mackie’s ordeal was called Sick Little Kitty. This article is all about the tooth extraction. Rarely do you find vets that primarily focus on cats. We have a wonderful cat only vet in Tulsa, Oklahoma called Feline Specialties. We could not find a cat only vet in…

  • Sick Little Kitty

    Normal, IL, August 2026 Mackie is our geriatric kitty that’s around 15 years old with only 6 teeth left. A cat with a full mouth of teeth would have 30 teeth. We have been asked multiple times if Mackie eats rocks. He really doesn’t, but he does love to chew on plastic and toys. It…

  • Comlara Park Spillway Update

    Comlara Park, IL, August 2026 We just dropped Mackie off at the vet for surgery to address his bad teeth and potential abscess from the bad teeth. On the way back to the trailer, we went to the Comlara Park Spillway. I was curious to see how rain last night and another flood warning impacted…

  • Flash Flood Warnings

    Hudson, IL, August 2026 We have lived through a tornado. Now, we had the chance to live through a Flash Flood Warning. Comlara Park had a major dry spell, and everyone in the area was stating “We really need rain.” We had 2 days of steady rain, and the flash flood warnings started to come…

  • Caterpillar Museum: Part 2 – Playing with Caterpillars

    Peoria, IL, July 2026 Part 2 is all about playing on the equipment and selfies. I enjoyed climbing into the machinery the most. The sad part was that in many cases my feet barely touched the peddles. You’ll notice my feet don’t really touch :-). They also had 5 game type machines were you were…

  • Caterpillar Museum: Part 1 – Butterfly or Large Machinery

    Peoria, IL, August 2026 I said to John “I really would like to go to the caterpillar museum.” John said “yes” thinking we would see beautiful butterflies for him to photograph. He learned later that this was the large yellow machinery. Talking to the visitor center receptionist, John wasn’t the only person who thought they…

  • Bald Eagle

    Comlara Park, IL, August 2026 I absolutely love the bald eagle because of their size, beauty and grace. Did you know? The US added the bald eagle to the Great Seal of the US on June 20th, 1782. You would think this means the bald eagle was the US national bird. It wasn’t. In 2024,…

  • New Business Plan …

    Comlara Park, IL, August 2026 Toupees for eagles! Think about it. There are more than 400,000 Bald Eagles in North America alone. It is an untapped market. We will be setting up a go-fund-me site to start this up. Premium early donors will get a free toupee for their eagle! And now, back to our…

  • Burr, It’s Hot

    Comlara Park, IL, August 2026 Kate finally found something that her iPhone could not take a decent picture of. It was the small white flower in the previous post. The R7 did an okay job, but it was just using the 55-250 mm lens, which is not the right choice. Despite being 85+ degrees and…

  • Which One is the Ass?

    Comlara Park, IL, August 2026 What is your answer? This three month old donkey is named Dally. We were told who he was named after, but we do not remember. The donkey was rescued from people who were not caring for him. He was one of a pair of twins, but the other twin did…
