Lavender is good James, our kitten (who doesn't go out Smile) attacks any plant but Lavender, she avoids it at all costs, it makes her wrinkle up her nose and eyes. We've had to move everything else to a higher level.

I don't buy them Dave, they are poisonous. We lost one kitten last year, very suddenly and tragically. We keep this one out of the way of anything that could do her harm.

Hum, I've had my cats come back inside just to go to the barthroom...you must be talking about animals left outside pretty much. I had one last year lving in my shedin the back yard, I felt so sorry for it, but so wild I couldn't even get close to it...though she use to let my male cat up closer to her...but he never really bothered her and would lead her to his food dish in the summertime.  They both had the same kind of coloring on them. Outiside she's probably had litter after litter by now. I feel sorry for animals left to fend for themselves these days.

OK, went to see Johhny Depp in his movie Moredica...and comedy adventure and we had our birthday grandson with us...it was "R" rated and probably would of went over better at home..and not in the public...except for adults. This was one pun upon another one of everyone in the movie from country to country...an adventure/comedy. Kind of silly....half my front tooth broke off while I was sipping an coke and from then for me the movie took secondary place. I left upset and mad over the tooth problem to say the least. I wonder what Diana Sinclair, our Johhny Depp fan would say...it was certainly different from the Pirates of the Carrabean roles he's played in. I think an bit more debanair in them. A lot more rediculous in this one. It's staged from out of England also, and has most the cliques associated with British people in it. "Suggestions" of an little playing around on the side... if willingly..... and glass of booze in the hand...and drives an Silver Ghost Rolls Royce for his car, impeckably dressed...his side kick  butler is everything to him, car driver, body guard, business associate when needed also.  Chaos is all around him.... while his "butler" deals with it all. Everyone seems to live in an huge castle... no matter what country he is in. I can't at this time remember if they found their objective in the code to some Nazi treasures. As I said, my tooth was bothering me. 

You know...I believe that my great Aunt Katherine O"Cana said we were Irish to cover up an few things in the family...perhaps this Joan Larkin in the whose who of Tudor women said an wife to the Cardinal Thomas Wolsey. He left her before he got up to that status though. Her father's name was said to been an Peter Larkin, now I see they have him as Peter Larking. Peter to me is not an Larkin name..they are different.  They do not have him as "O" anything. Even the web site of the O"Lorcan have the "O" and they feel they came from way back in Celtic Days. Brian is doing his reserch work by DNA. Anyway, the Cardinal married her off to an man named "Wynter"...and I can't find him either...so I am wondering if this isn't some false data along the line that got inserted.  Joanna Hale is another subject though...said to been married to Edward Larkin of Massachusetts in the early 1600's. But I counter that also with the name of the Butler family...mostly because of George Lawson. An John Larkin was listed with those killed in early Jamestown 1622 Indian Massacre...and with Lawson  known people to been his English friends... also. Thomas Lawson killed at this time with his wife I'm fairly certain was an "Bray" by maiden name. Thomas Lawson was the eldest son of Rev. George Lawson..his son named George I think is "our" George Lawson. in Virginia. He was an Court Clerk for most his life if not also an preacher.  It must of been the "Lucus" family that married the Larkin at one time also, as cousins. I'm checking into that one also. I have yet to see an decent word said about King Henry VIII. But "Margaret" took the Hale estate from them to live in it while Henry VII was going to school near Kent, England.  The Hale family has an long long line of early preachers in England. There again, they were school teachers as well as preachers. Wikipedia is now saying there was an Cardinal William Warham, that may been Larkin. Or else they are inserting an "new" geneology to suit someone's needs. I know the Thomas Larkyn at Rochester Catherderal, from whom Charles Dickens probalby used as an name for one of his characters was an doctor...he was living in the same area as was the Templar Knights also. He again was not seemly "Irish".I think I found him knighted by the King.... in France.... from England.  He was written down as "Blokeland"...my first thought was this later the "Boylen" family in England?...but it dawned on me maybe he had an bit of an Scottish broguein speaking his name and went down by that spelling. He must of been an young man back then...most Templar Kinghts were. Scotland claims an "Larkin: varriant was La-combe..by way for France at one time. But another manner, I don' tknow where they came up with an Joan Larkin for Thomas Wolsey wife..."Joan" is an name came out of that of "Joan of Arc" days. Until then it was little heard of that I know of.  But time to move on. I hope to watch the last season series of "Untold America" tonight when they announce Jesus may of brought over soem of his family to early days before the Colonial days of history here. I'm coming up with what he says he found on an stone also..800 AD...but in an different way. Do you suppose William St. Clair brought their treasures up the Mississippi River back then? I go for now.
