Laura's Quote and Peaceful Kitties

"Why should we need extra time in which to enjoy ourselves? If we expect to enjoy our life, we will have to learn to be joyful in all of it, not just at stated intervals when we get time or when we have nothing else to do."

- Laura Ingalls Wilder -





I know all is well with our world when the cats are all at peace. These two photos show Katrina (possibly the most "alert" cat we've ever had) and Samson (one of the most "laid-back" cat we've ever owned) on our new bed in our new home. The second photo shows four of our five cats (the fifth had just jumped down) but- when they are all piled up and at rest; you know all is well. Max (the other most "fraidy-cat" we've ever owned along with Tabby-tomness (the other most laid-back) and Katrina and Sam again. This photo is really unique because Katrina is actually near to the Tomness and she's not being the usual *itch she tends to be. We have slept with all these critters AND the dog one morning (a thundery morning) and thankfully the $100 bed is large enough to accomodate!

I should probably explain the $100 bed. When Byron was a wee-little boy his g-parents got the first king-sized bed he'd ever seen. His comment to his Paw-paw was something implying that Mimi must be really rich to be able to afford such a bed and it must have cost a LOT thus... the $100 bed. You can take all kinds of inferences from that- but, let me tell you... this bed SLEEPS like a million bucks and as it was Mimi's bed- it's a meaningful "peace" of furniture. Thanks to Muhner & Aunt Cindy for the generous gift... we all appreciate it! And, with that... we'll put that subject to bed!

On tap for this w/e... "Founders Day" for Arkadelphia. The blacksmiths will be swinging their hammers for a demonstration and I'm sure there will be music, food and other fun things. Perhaps we'll get a few more "honey-do" projects completed and if not- no big deal. I've got two big drawing assingments to complete and whatever else crops up.

Hope you have a great weekend! and enjoy when and where you find yourself!
