Memories of Cats

Mom and Jackie would say if there's a cat in a half mile radius, I'll spot it and it'll find me. Mom once said, no more cats unless they need a home and walk up and jump on our laps!

See where this is going?

3 days later we visited former neighbors of her in a condo complex.  I sat out on the front step while they talked and a beautiful Siamese seal point meowed at me and I said hello.  She immediately jumped up in my lap and wanted to be petted and loved.  Mom couldn't believe it.  The neighbors said the cat was owned by someone next to them and they hated the cat because she had slightly crossed blue eyes and had to be from the devil.  The neighbors talked with the neighbors and they said to take the cat.  She didn't even have a name and was the sweetest thing.

I laughed heartily at that incident!  Mom learned not to challenge the universe!

This works well with just breasts or thighs or whatever combo you'd like.  The sauce is fantastic on eggs the next morning too.

Okay, instead of hand sewing something as I normally would, I used the machine. The design works, the stuff for the project doesn't.  We need bigger pipe insulation. We're making drafty door blockers and the insulation is too small since we ripped out the carpets. So, first foray into sewing with a machine in a long time went well but the project is stalled until tomorrow or Friday.
