A tribute to Agape (aka. "Thittie")

We come up with some very strange nicknames for every member of our family (including pets). Our cat's name is Agape (greek word for love), but we rarely call her that. It's always, "Thittie, Thittle, Thids, or (daddy's name)-Gopper goo. (Don't ask, unless you can't resist) We have even weirder names for our dog, but I thought I'd do a post for "Thittie" today!!
Our cat lays in the planting pots...how about yours?
She also makes herself at home on various parts of our body including the back....how about yours?
Of course, who doesn't like a nap in sink once in a while?


And to think...she's 18 years old!

Aargg, ye treasure hunter


I am always proud to say that there is always an adventure going on at the Wagner Homestead. Today, I found that to be true!




It was beautiful outside, and I was weeding the back garden. Josh ran by me and said,"I'm going to dig for Spanish Dooblins,(whatever that is) and treasure."

I said logically, "What is a Spanish Dooblin?"

"I don't know. Maybe some kind of Spanish money, or something."

I replied, "We don't have any Spanish money in our yard,"

He said, "Then I'll find treasure!" And he ran around the bushes. I shook my head and continued weeding.

A few minutes later he says, "Ooh, I found a rock!"

"Wow!" I said not to enthusiastically. "Keep looking.

About a minute passed and he said, "Wow! Sis, come here. Really,"

I mumbled,"this better be good," And sure enough, it was!

He actually found..................
(drum roll please!)
A Canadian dollar coin in our yard. I was dumbfounded. He was very excited.
You can look at the picture above to see the coin.
Josh thought maybe it was from the pilgrims, or Indians. At least, he thought that until I pointed out that the coin said 1989, on it.
He was so happy that, when he dug for treasure, he actually found it. I'll leave it up to you to imagine his delight.
Maybe next, it will be gold in our creek!!! :)
