Beginnings......

Okay, so...I'm new at this and will be making a few mistakes. Can't be helped I'm afraid. So just hang in there and we'll all get through it.

First a bit about me (without giving too much away)

I grew up on a small five acre farm just a mile outside the Village of Danvers in central Illinois. And yes, village is the right word to describe it. All together (counting the surrounding farms) there was a population of about 1000 people - and, heck, that may have even counted some of the animals.....

I was (and still am) a bit of a geek. Math, science and history were my favorite subjects in school. Geek, geek, geek. Love animal too. My family has had many different pets share our lives over the years. Dogs, cats, horses, cows, chickens, pigs, a duck (who thought he was a dog) even a couple of birds. Right now there are several cats (five) who share the house with myself and my boyfriend. They range from ages two to eleven - and all get a long most of the time. Some days we have our moments...

As soon as I can find them and figure out how to do it correctly, I'll post a few pictures of the 'girls'. Untill then...it was nice to 'meet' everyone!
