Two Things - Cute cat photo (once again for my mom) and a wild goose chase?



Today, I had a hard time finding the cat. Found her under the microwave. Most pensive cat in the world.

Anyway... moving away from the cat, J. and I were out on our way to a job at a location in Riverdale this morning. All of a sudden, all traffic comes to a complete stop. This includes a MetroBus coming in our direction and a tanker truck in our lane. Looking towards what has caused this huge blockage... there are 9 Canadian Geese walking in the street. They go one way, get about 3/4 of the way and turn around. They do this routine at least 3 times before they decide to all go to the other side. I figure the MetroBus guy was worried about running them over and having more publicity for Metro. Since Metro crash is front page news, I doubt he wanted the secondary headline to be, "Cruel MetroBus Driver Exterminates Geese!" I tip my hat to the patience of the bus driver.

Happy Father's Day!

What do I do on Father's Day? I took my mother in law out to lunch. Ironic, huh?

Anyway.... Happy Father's Day!

We went to the store this morning to get stuff for the big Father's Day cookout this evening. I will be grilling steak and chicken and it appears maybe also some corn on the cob. I cannot wait. I love grilling.

I only have boring other things to share. For example, Weis had those new detergent sheets on sale for 4.99. I am going to give it a try. Detergent, fabric softner, and static guard all in one sheet...wooohoo.

I also found some Blackjack gum today. Bought 2 packs. Am probably the only one in my family who loves Blackjack. This is also probably why I end up with everyone's black jelly beans.

Hope all is well for every one!

Here, Kitty-Kitty! Photos Especially For My Mom!

Ahhhh! I can sun myself in the window, get a breeze from that air conditioning vent under me, AND be ready to eat at this well placed table. This is the cat's life!

What? You look at me like I should have more dignity. I just want food and a nap.

For those of you who don't know, this is my cat (Katie) in the kitchen. She is sitting in the window that faces the street - chin on the kitchen table. She decided to sleep there while J. and I were eating lunch. J. has so kindly placed a kitten blanket in the window. Nothing makes this cat happier than sleeping in her window.

Now... For Something A Little Different

I am your Sunshine.... Your ONLY Sunshine. I bring you baby birdies, if we're alone.
Yes... It is I! Sir Sunshine of across the street. May I offer you some cheese?
Oh, Sir Sunshine! Come down from up there so I may see your handsome face instead of your underside.

We have been watching our neighbor's cockatiel, Petey, this week. Our cockatiel, Sunny, has been delighted. Although Petey has laid another egg since her arrival (bringing the total of 4 eggs), the duo seems really pleased with each other. Petey, ever the grouch, seems to have only eyes for Sunny. We let Sunny out and this is what he does.
