The two brothers are now spending most of their day inside. When temps are in the single to low double digits, Crabby Tabby figures he has options. Why not use them?
Mr. McCool with their sister in the background. You can see who the cat magnet is.You know, the guy all those decades ago who didn't want housepets.
Yesterday was a good day. A bit of puttering in the morning, an afternoon phone call from a friend, who moved to Crookston, Minnesota (way up in NW MN), to join the teaching staff in Equine Science at the University of MN this autumn. It's a very long drive. She was making the drive after spending Thanksgiving with her family in the Twin Cities. We usually talk once a week, which is nice for us both. We talked about personal quirks, mine are a long list, which I will not bore you with. That got onto my talking about my things that younger people don't seem to value and what will happen to them.
She is 26 years younger than I am. She told me she likes crystal, china and antiques. I asked if she would like it if I tagged those things for her. Whatever my son doesn't want, which would be most, if not all. She would. I've known her 17 years and would be happy to leave her these items that I value but are not valued by many anymore. I think she will pass on my enormous collection of plastic deli containers.
