Happy Holidays!
THANKSGIVING 2012 - St. Joseph, MI.
Twenty three family members and friends-like-family came together at my in-laws' lake house to celebrate Thanksgiving 2012. Many of us meeting for the first time, we enjoyed getting to know one another, spent time walking the beach and eating lots and lots of turkey! Lots of fun was had by all!

Charity of the Month for October 2012
Every month on the site we will highlight a charity that is dear to my heart on many levels, either
personally or because I know of someone who is dealing with a difficult
situation, an illness, or a disaster. Also, because I care. I care about
people and animals and I truly want to help in any way that I can to make
life better for them. At times we all need help. Maybe it's difficult to ask
for it or maybe we don't know how or can't, but we can all stand up and reach
out a helping hand in whatever way works for us. Again, thank you for reading
and considering to help someone in need.
HELPING ANIMALS:
Since 1998 I have supported the HVHS in Washtenaw County. We found our first kitten there, tiny body with these tall ears and a pewter colored nose. She captured our hearts at first sight. Tabitha, who is now into her teenage people years, has been through everything in our home. From bringing home a new baby, to a 5 year old rescued dog, to a kitten (which came from HVHS too). She is now very content laying on our bed all day, soaking up the sun. Her knees and teeth are giving out on her, which causes her to cry out when we pick her up. Because of this, she has obtained the nickname of "Cranky"...but we love our old girl very much. The work that they do at HVHS is wonderful. They are a no kill facility and will do everything to find a home or rescue shelter for every animal that comes to them. If you are in the area, you should walk through their wonderful facility. Who knows, maybe you will find your perfect family member!

An introduction to the Z.E.N. Pets
PETS
OUR ZEN ANIMALS
TABITHA
Our eldest cat. Otherwise known
as "Peeps" and "Cranky." She is our bed warmer by day and
night!BLU
My son Zach's 2007 Christmas present. Blu is a Silver Lab and has been a wonderful addition to our family. He came to our home from a special family that let us adopt him. We feel so lucky to have him in our family.
MAIZIE
My son's latest pet, his little
"Maizie" cat to go with his "Blu". Yes, we are University of Michigan fans!
This little gray kitten came to us through the Huron Valley Humane Society, just
like her big sister Tabitha, but in 2010. She was one of many little kittens
needing a home and her gray fur and little meow lead us to bringing her home for
Zach's 8th birthday. Having grown up on a small farm, I have always had animals
around me. Our three furry additions have made our family
complete!
