We had been catless since Sinda went to the bridge in February, and I was ready for some new kitties.
Here is a picture of Gracie taken last month as she hid out in the coolness of the hops & kiwis arbor. She is such a sweet kitty and sleeps on the foot of the bed most nights.
I just have to convince her not to play "whack a mole" with my toes as she has VERY sharp daggers for claws and you'd think I was trying to murder her when I try to trim them!!
George is my handsome man - he loves to come in and sit on my lap when I am spinning - or like right now, when I am trying to work at the computer. Sorry George, I'm busy - you'll have to come back later.
Many of you know that last month, I was offered "early retirement" from the "salt mine", so right now I am home all of the time - they still haven't gotten used to me being around, but they are starting to run in and out now and then to say "hi" - especially in the hopes that I might give them a snack.
Here is one of the ice cream cakes that they had at my going away party :-)
I'm looking for new employment, but don't hold out very high hopes. There are several large employers in the area who have just laid off a fair amount of their admin & accounting work force! I'm very glad to have George and Gracie to keep me company as I adjust to not working.
