Cheetah Alliance

The cheetah has been in the news a lot lately.  From the discovery by the magazines and tabloids, 'the White Cheetah' has made global news.  Guy Combes photographed this white cheetah in the wild in February of last year and I saw the photo our first night at Mary's Action for Cheetahs Camp in Salama, Kenya in May.  Two days after our return to Maui, I received a facebook link from Mary of a painting Guy had done called "The Phantom".  The Cheetah Alliance bought this painting in June.  It…

Check Please!  Ordering to go . . . one reality.  Each day as I slip out of bed to the tune of my kitten, I don't know what it is I will find.  Yesterday morning it was a dove.  For the second time in two weeks, Yoda has killed a dove during the night and brought it inside to pluck.  The ants never sleep around this place and always find something to keep them busy.
