Weekly Chronicles: Introducing Annabelle Edition

About 10 days ago we adopted Annabelle, the pretty little calico cat shown above.  It’s been an adjustment for our nine year old cat, Buster and of course, Charger the basset hound.  However, she’s completely charmed us and it’s fun having a kitten in the house again!
