iWeekend House and the Mobile Cockroach

AHHHHH summer with all things beachy and floral and colorful.

but wait… what is this?

The end of an era….

It was not too long ago that guests would arrive at our house with their cell phones. Now when they arrive they arrive with

a portable office of sorts. Several phones, iPads,

computers and even simple cameras arrive. Each outlet is a maze of chargers with the most ubiquitous being white. The technology follows us on bike rides and to the beach. Never a break.

Recently my daughter was on Facebook and my husband told her to get off. She did. Two minutes later he asked her what she was doing now~ Instigram. Get off. What followed was what I describe as the Mobile Cockroach~ though it could just as easily be called the Mobile Whack-a-Mole. She moved to Pinterist. I quit.

I am posting the photo of Sponge Bob a 30 lb cat because I am speechless. I mean my parents cat (at close to 20 lbs) looks positively svelte in comparison. He came

to the shelter at 33 lbs but they have cut his carbs out and keep him moving so he has lost three pounds.
