First visitors!

We had our first visitors last week! My Uncle Doug and his daughter Kim stayed with us Thursday night on their way to Maine. She’s been living in New York City for the last eight years and is returning to San Antonio TX to stay with him for a while.

It turns out I come by my crazy cat lady ways honestly. I had forgotten that Uncle Doug feeds a bunch of feral and semi-feral cats twice a day and has gotten them fixed and also named them. He says he’s not a cat person, that he’s just continuing what Aunt Sonya did before she died but I’m not buying that excuse. There’s too much affection and concern in his voice when he talks about the kitties—they have names like Wampus, little Gray Kitty, and the one that still tickles me, the Hill Kitties. He says the Hill Kitties stay perched out on the small hill in his back yard and never approach the food while he’s outside. So yeah, I think Uncle Doug is a crazy cat lady too.



The new slide show on the left occurred as we were getting the sleeping arrangements set up for Uncle Doug and Kim. Kim used a sleeping bag, which is what's draped over the chair. Eddie thought it was a great hiding spot, and so did Wally. You can watch the progression as Wally muscles Eddie right off the chair to claim his prize.
