Your trip, and the place, and your friend, and the cats sound so wonderful, penni! And complete with fat cats. Thanks for mentioning the Sweet Potato Queens. I still need to get that. That parental units arrived yesterday. They are close to my work but the street I walked up turned out to one of those that they decided to have, put several blocks in-between ending and rebeginning, and move it over. I ended up walking about 4 miles or more last night. Not a lot to some but I was bushed. And walking to dinner and back, I trekked the folks a couple of miles. It was so hard to see how slow my mother walks now. Not to mention that it took a long time. I was pleased that our city did so well by them. A copper was parked in an empty parking lot and called out "hello" from his open window. On the main drag, a teenage boy asked for money by saying "please" and when I said I had no extra tonight he said "thanks. you guys have a good night". My goodness. And the weather is perfect. They are off to the Botanical Gardens today while I work.

No. Don't stop. What are we paying you for? We're not paying you? Oh. I like squirrels. Outside the coffee house in Salem there's a four lane one way street, zoom, and the sycamores are on that side and the pin oaks on this side and the squirrels like them both. MJ and I sit outside there and watch them and read. I said, you know, it's amazing these squirrels can get across this street with all these cars zooming by. (There's like one every ten minutes running the gauntlet. Just then, from underneath one of the cars parked on this side, runs out this three-legged squirrel. Amazing. We started laughing. He's locally famous, turns out. (And he has a house across the street the park boys made for him.) All the flower shops in Salem have kitties in the windows. They must need them for that business. Get a lot of birds or mice in there. I like big cats. Twenty eight pounds is way over the top, though. That's ten bigger than Stumpy!!! "Peeping tomcat." That's funny. There was a cat living next to my dad, a light manx, whose butt end was up about four inches higher than the front shoulders. Looked like a wedge racer. Dragster. Cute as heck, and f-r-i-e-n-d-l-y, but he moved. I miss him. I'd like to find out where he moved to, but I guess that's kind of over the top too. Well, different people have different priorities.
