Nothing like a bottle, a kitty,and watching Olivia

Lorelei came to visit today...she wanted to stay outside almost all day. The only thing that really tempts her voluntarily to come back inside is if there is a cat she wants to get...

So, we played outside here...her favorite thing is sticks, followed by rocks. Lorelei can also spend a fair amount of time opening and closing the gate. She will open it, close it, open it and go out it, turn around and close it and then open, and go back inside. Over and over.

We also took her to a little park near here...again her favorite thing: sticks of course. She did like the slide, but not the swings. There is a small church up there...the church and park share a parking lot. I actually don't know who officially owns the parking lot. The church has a ramp for wheel chairs that is not very steep and not very long. Lorelei discovered it and had a very good time going up and down it.

She did take a small nap in her car seat on the way home from the park....but I figured when they went home that she might fall back asleep. No such luck. She did decide to slow down and have a bottle...and that is when Sarah took this picture...she gave it the title I used.

However her mommy did tell me a couple interesting things. One is if Sarah is setting down and Lorelei is playing, Diesel comes and gets in her lap, here comes Lorelei and sits down on him. And makes him leave....she don't want to share her mommy, though she likes it if he comes to see her.

The other thing, her friend told her that if her little boy starts to get into something she will tell him , 'no, no' and he will say 'O, its Lorelei's'....he is two years old. And she is not the only kid he is around...he has just always been so good to her.

Pet the kitty!


Guess who is petting the kitty with their foot? Lorelei, of course. She was laying back in her mommy's lap, and of course, Diesel wanted up there also. Lorelei did not mind at all. She still will grab a kitty's ear sometimes or she wants to feel their eye. Bubbie will just set there most of the time with her poking at him. Puss Puss runs any time she is near...she always has so it isn't a thing of Lorelei having hurt her.

Cougar runs sometimes and sometimes not...and the biggest surprise of all is a lot of times Lorelei can walk all over Mama Cat and she will just let her. At least half the time...other times she will get up and leave. I doubt anyone can imagine the change in Mama Cat since she came to live with us...before the only person that could pet her was my older daughter...the rest of us she would try to bite or to scratch. Now she never meets a stranger.

I was going to post this last night, but for some reason you tube was really slow on this end last night. Tonight, I have been getting an error code when I try to publish some of the comments but reported the error and got them published. Only from one person...all the others I could publish.

Covington Methodist Church

Saturday, Covington, Indiana was as far north as we went.
I want to go back there and take more time...there were some old, beautiful homes. I would also like to photograph some of the business district...it is a pretty little town.
