Missing large

Cat staff since 12 when a teacher gave me one of litter. Once married a cat that resembled the first, came up to the porch to join a party and stayed for 12 years. Of the 11 who have allowed us to serve, 10 have been rescues, and 6 Siamese(3 chocolate point, 2 chocolate Applehead, and 1 lilac). The first of the chocolate points was named by a rescuer - Cafe au Lait, and the Cafe name has continued in Cafe Latte, and Cafe Mocha. The rescues have not been sought but either given to us or came on their own. They seem to know when there is a vacancy and show up to fill it. While we mourn those that are gone, they are only physically gone. We still giggle over a roast dragged halfway across the floor, or pathetically meowing strained on a neighbor's roof only to be at the food dish minutes later. Same strained pathetic cat the next day. After a discussion with her about the neighbor cutting down the dogwood she used to get on the roof(he hated cats), she never climbed upon a roof again.

    My father-in-law was very much into the arts and did a 3/4 bas relief of Fiedler. One went to fiedler and the second still hangs in the living room. Yes, wow.

    Lock the bedroom door, turn on loud music and maybe, you may be able to snack in peace.

    Someone really knows cats! Typical daily discussion: ‘Which sunny window do we in’ and ’when do we eat? Repeat four times a day.

    Today is not Fiedler’s birthday, but the Happy Birthday between the 2nd and 3rd panel reminded me that he visited the house after two concerts many years apart. I met him at the second visit. He was quite an interesting man.

    Geat strip today. Thank goodness there was no strip tease artist included – that’s another type of show.

    Never had a CB or other such radio, but love the home town newspaper. It is charming, interesting articles, support of the local schools and their atheletic teams(really good) and a delight to read. The world, country and state news is 24 hours on media repeating and repeating so much that it is hard to teel whether it is new or recycled.

    Things happen only when you are facing a deadline and are behind.
