Meet my newest Grandcat!
They're still choosing her name, but as they live by the ocean it will be a nautical name
(we kind of like "Mizen"). She was born on youngest granddaughter's first birthday!
We'll be meeting her later today. Purrrrrr. =^. .^=
Howard Dean is always first in the joyful now.
ReplyDeleteSusan...note just for you on the last thread.
ReplyDeletePlus, reposting this, regarding yesterday's thread photo of the chair...
ReplyDeleteSusan, I love it too. I like wallpaper, but I love this wallpaper. The melon tones in it make it feel warm and inviting, and the old fashioned design make it feel like a visit to Grandmother's house.
puddle, you are so right that the chair and setting have soul.
Here is where the photo came from! The Brick House in Shelburne was the home of Electra Havermayer Webb and her husband James Webb. it was given to them as a wedding present! Here is a link to my photos of the house, when I enjoyed a tour there in July.

(Don't worry if you can't see all the photos on the album page. Just click on any of them and you can scroll left and right with your arrow keys and see them all just fine. It's such a gorgeous house and location, and has been so caringly preserved!
Read your note on the last thread, listener. In my view everything we feel/see/hear/experience becomes part of us. It shapes us and molds us. And you don't leave parts of yourself behind.
ReplyDeleteAwh, kitten! *smooch*
ReplyDeletemainefem! It all makes sense now. I too kept thinking of Holly J and coming bang up against a wall. The rant was still out of line, but at least I understand it now. Poor mainefem. She must be a terribly unhappy person. I agree with Susan that what we feel and experience, especially the love, stays with us our whole lives and does not die when those we love die. What a blank existence we would have otherwise.
puddle--I missed the Vatican's speculation about saving extraterrestrials' souls; with all due respect, that seems pretty weird to me. Maybe (?!) I'm the weird one…
ReplyDeleteCat--thanks for the reminder--I got some CD's today and forgot about them in the car! Now to get them and pop one into the disc drive to listen to while surfing and blogging!
Court tomorrow morning (probably a lot of sitting in the hallway--will take reading material), deposition in Modesto Saturday morning, Maybe Eureka next Thursday if the declaration I wrote last night doesn't scare off the prosecutor. Well, gotta make hay while the sun shines, eh? Got a nice compliment from a federal defender when I said I hadn't done enough work on a case to justify billing for it.
What is said above about the enduring effect of relationships I certainly agree with. I am reminded of a fellow I knew who felt guilty about killing the snails that would otherwise devour his garden, into which he put a great deal of work. Figured it was surely bad karma for him. He asked the priest about it. The priest's answer? That the snails' karma had become his. Think about that.
TTFN
Oh--the best way I have found to deal with the psychological problems of getting rid of snails is to put out a dish of beer for them. In the morning there will be a dish full of dead snails. [WARNING! RATIONALIZATION AT WORK!] Obviously if the lushes drink themselves to death it is their fault and not mine.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Alan! That really cracked me up.
ReplyDeleteWe talked till after four, I went to bed, and Thankful stayed up a while. Going to wake her up in about 7 minutes. . . .
ReplyDeleteI don't find the Vatican's positin wierd, given where they are coming from. If you assume that salvation is only through Jesus Christ, as they do, and if you assume that interstellar aliens have never heard of Christ (some people speculate that, if intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe, God will have incarnated in whatever form is appropriate to that species), then the need to save their souls follows.
ReplyDeleteVery pleasant day here today. Supposed to be much cooler tomorrow, when I go out knocking on doors for the combined Democratic campaigns, and windy. Predicted lows for the next several days around 40. Not low enough to frost, though, which is good. We're very much enjoying our plum tomatoes and "lemon" cucumbers from the garden. Not to mention those beautifully purple Malabar beans (which turn green on cooking).
ReplyDeleteReceived my voters' pamphlet for the coming election today. The propositions are mostly non-brainers, but hysterical, disingenuous, and otherwise misleading arguments seem particularly well represented this time around. Interestingly, when I checked the Green Party recommendations (which are arrived at by consensus) I was in perfect agreement.
