From the trader's fair....

I saw this little kitty at the trader's fair.  I don't recall why I didn't try to get a good picture...I remember just snapping and not really composing the picture.  I didn't check the price...remember I am trying to get rid of things, not bring in new.

Mom and I used to walk and go visit these neighbors of ours...it was a man and his wife and his mom that lived there.  I think I have told before about how in this one bedroom, they kept this wringer washer.  I do not know if it worked or not.  And I don't recall how come I was even in there, but I was in there with one of them for some reason.  And for some reason, she got into this wringer washer...it was full to the brim of purses!

How I wanted to look through them, but I knew better than to ask...and of course I didn't reach for any.  But every time we went there from then on, I was hoping to get to go into that room again, but it never happened. I still wonder about them.  I never seen either of the women with a purse.  It almost makes me think it was a dream, but I know it wasn't.

Anyway, when we were there, I mostly played out around the house...there wasn't really much to do, but I do remember being outside.  There was a catalpa tree, and if it was summer, their big leaves fascinated me.

If I were inside very much, she had some little tiny ceramic cats...I suppose the wife saw me looking at them.  Anyway, if I had to stay inside for some reason, she would always get them down and let me play with them.

This is the same neighbor that they stopped by after being to town, and he told me he had almost caught a pigeon for me.  I didn't realize it, but he must have know how I loved animals.  He had been able to walk right up to it....I don't know if he got to the point where he was bending over to catch it, but I do remember being amazed at how close he got.  I would have been totally thrilled with a gift like that.

Spiderwort

Even though this grows wild, Spiderwort is a beautiful plant...and it was in the in the bouquet Lorelei and her Papaw brought me last weekend.

I am sitting in my recliner with the computer on my lap...and one of my cats is laying across my legs.  She gets there and does not want to move--and even manages to make me feel guilty if I have to get up or just want to get up.  I cannot tell you the time I sit here delaying getting up just because I do not want to disturb her.

We have to take our Rav4 in for a recall tomorrow...I think Roger is going to drop me off at Jo-Ann Fabrics and I will browse in there while he is at Toyota.

That is the plans...we will see how it goes....we had about totally forgot the appointment.  I seldom actually forget appointments, but sometimes I just totally forget till the day before, but this one I don't know about.  I can't say I actually remembered it...I got an email notice or might have totally forgotten.

Simple but beautiful...

Seems like ever year I try to capture this grass...I like this one best of the ones I have taken.  Not saying it is fantastic or anything...but I do like it.  There was just the slightest, lightest breeze and its flowers were dancing in the wind.

Thanks to Marie for mentioning the TV mini-series Centennial... we started watching it last night.  It will at least be something to watch for a few nights.  We are definitely enjoying it.
