Nameless Cat

 About six months ago, we were given an adult cat from someone who rehomes them. The cat seemed rather docile and he definitely bonded with me.

We never got around to giving him a name, but he was cared for as well as we possibly could.

I was petting him as I sat on the couch the other night, as is our custom. After a while I put him on the floor so I could get up for a drink, like I have done many times before.

A couple of hours later, Hubby came over and asked where the cat was. When he wasn't under the couch (his usual go-to place) we searched all over.

No cat. Anywhere. 

The only way out was a window in the laundry open enough to vent the dryer--somewhere he hadn't been before.

Strange.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!

Too much excitement

 Our days are usually very quiet and, frankly rather dull. But I don't mind at all, really. Some days require me to venture outside--to the doctor's office mostly.

Now and then, and more often lately, we have groceries delivered and we have a cleaner that comes once a week. Other than that, our house is quiet--except for the shouting from one room to another about dinner or some obscure fact one of us has come across.

But today....wow, what a day!

I had to go for a blood test at the doctor's, the cleaner came, we had wood for the heater delivered and groceries were delivered. All in one day.

This is way too much excitement for an old lady with a bad heart!

It's all in the details.

I don't usually pay attention to the writing on cleaning products,

but this one sat at eye level in the toilet and caught my attention.

A bit of the Atlantic in the middle of the Pacific!
