Many of you probably know that Lucy has been with us since July 1999. Yes,
that's a long time. For those of you who don't like math, that birth date means he will turn 17 this year. (Yowzers!) He doesn't do much these days
besides sit on the recliner, an action that reminds me very much of my
grandfather. Hmmm.
Anyway, I thought this episode of kitty cuteness could be dedicated to the oldest four-legged mammal in the house.
He happens to be looking at Melina in this picture...
She didn't hold his attention long.
He's trying to use a Jedi mind trick to get me to leave him alone.
Really? He says. Why isn't she leaving?
And if that's not proof that he doesn't do much, here's a little video to enjoy (I should mention there's nothing to hear on this. Melina was whispering something for a bit, but those words are not necessary for the video):
I am suspiciously silent today. Which means this could be the calm before the storm; Before the torrent of a very long post. Then again, It might not. Stay tuned.
Melina and I are scheduled to be at the kids' school at least three days this week. It has been a long time since we've been there that many times, so it isn't too bad, other than the fact that I am not getting anything else done this week. But that isn't the reason for my post. The reason is this: the minute we walk into that school, Melina's face shines. Her eyes turn bright and she looks for people she knows. Yesterday, we were lucky enough to find two classes in the hallway, looking at the books set out for the book sale. Melina quickly scanned the kids, found Zoe, Talia, Jackie, Sammy, Talia D., Belle, Anna, and a few others, and gave them each a hug. The funny thing is, all of these kids are so happy to see Melina. "Oh, Melina, how are you?" they squeal, or, "Can I have a hug, too?" Melina is happy to oblige. All of that happened before we even made it into the front office to check in. There, her celebrity status continued. &
