Thursday Thirteen - Custom Scooters from Japan
I never dreamed scooters could look so cool. These machines are so low to the ground that it's a mystery to me how they clear the pavement, though.

Helping the Pet Medicine Go Down
I recently had to start giving my cat medication for her thyroid. What a nightmare. Then the vet said she needed half a pill two times a day! I couldn't believe my rotten luck. The single afternoon event had been stressful enough.
Then the veterinary assistant told me about Greenie's pill pockets. Skeptical, I took the sample offered. I figured my cat would chew the soft treat and spit out the medicine.
Was I ever wrong, and thrilled to be! We haven't had an issue since. I just pop the halved pill in the cup shaped treat, squeeze closed the opening with my other hand (we don't want the scent of the medicine on the outside of the treat), and feed the cat. She gulps them down with a vehement and hearty head shake as if she's killing prey!
They also have them for dogs, and I can't recommend them enough. Here's the link to Feline Pill Pockets.
I hope this wonderful product helps you, too, if you're in the same boat.

Thursday Thirteen - The View Outside My Window
1. Snow - it's falling as I type, though it might not be by the time I post this
2. Squirrels - tails fluffed up against the cold
3. One stubborn leaf clinging to the neighbor's tree
4. A tiny, shabby motel - I often wonder what type of people stay there
5. Life size concrete animals - oddly, the neighbor has deer and cows lined up in a row
6. Grey skies - I don't really mind since we're getting the snow
7. Minivans and SUVs - doesn't anyone drive a sedan around here but me? At least I'm not looking at a parking lot, just a few vehicles
8. The road out of town - it's surprisingly quiet for the time of day
9. A mysterious evergreen tree - I've left the volunteer plant because the shape reminds me of something out of Dr. Seuss
10. No vultures - I really miss our summertime flock
11. The neighbor's shed, barn, and carport - really, how much stuff does one family need?
12. A dense line of bare winter trees - we live near a river that hides just out of sight of the vegetation
13. A cardinal - his plumage is a welcome splash of color

A Sensual Read by Portia Da Costa ~ "Far From Perfect"
FAR FROM PERFECT - Portia Da Costa
Enduring passion, turbulent emotions, and an engagement of convenience…
Anna Felgate and Nick Lisitano shared a night of passion together four long years ago, and even though the sex was perfect, the emotional aftermath and the estrangement that followed were about as far from perfect as it's possible to be. Both strong willed individualists, they've been keeping their distance ever since - even though they both secretly admit that they're still hot for each other. But the best laid plans of estranged lovers never run smoothly, and a crisis in Nick's family brings the two of them back together again. For the sake of his ailing father, Nick proposes a daring plan - a temporary engagement - and even though she knows she's playing with fire and putting her heart in deep peril, Anna is compelled to agree to it.
Can these two former lovers pull off their deception without tearing each other apart in the process? And will they manage to resist their mutual desire and keep their hands off one another... or will they plunge headlong into an affair, perfect or otherwise?
