This is the Bubbie...this was taken two or three weeks ago. It is hard to take a picture of any of my babies. They never stay still long enough for a good photo, unless they are sleeping. I just wondered if you could see the gleam of mischief in his eyes, and look at his smile....can you see how the corners of his mouth turn up. We call that his smiley face.
He likes to spend time outside, and when we come home, he comes out to the garage to meet us. He tries to hide at the corner and jump out to grab us, but he just cannot hold still long enough...so he comes out and comes to meet us then races to the house ahead of us.
Or if I am out, he likes for me to chase him...then he will turn around and chase me and jump up and pretend to grab me. Like a big cat hunting... ********************* We are still working on getting stuff transferred to the basement. I got my shelves moved down today...and a filing cabinet. I got some of the stuff put back on the shelves, but not near all.
And during it all, the cats were up and down with me/us. If they only had thumbs, they could help carry stuff...
No, not migration of birds. Migration of stuff. Books to be more specific. When our older daughter moved out, I took over her bedroom with my books and desk and file cabinets. I never dreamed she would be moving so far away. I didn't even think Sarah would be moving far enough away to want to spend the night ever again.
Being that they have both moved, and return home from time to time....we are slowly trying to clear out that bedroom till we can set up a spare bed for them when they come home. I don't have a lot of books...I try my best not to buy too many. I try to find the ones I want to read at the library. Yet I have several books that I consider among my treasures. Most of the ones that are fiction, I don't mind moving downstairs.
However, even some of those I want up here. Plus there are the non-fiction books such as Sod & Stubble, and Grass of the Earth and several other books that are letters, or diaries about settling the prairie and the west, diaries of covered wagon women...I just cannot bare to put those where I cannot get to them. So, a slow migration of stuff has begun....I am trying to take my time and enjoy looking at the books and making decisions...
I see books that I think, oh, I want to read that again, or this one will remind me so much of home...just never enough hours in the day to read all I want and to blog all I want...so it is back to the job for me...
But I will leave you with this little video....
And no, it is not Lorelei...if you can believe that. It is a video my nephew sent me. I think it is so much fun to watch.
