My Birthday Present from the Greenway

You know, the greenway behind our house. I've been seeing this cute little white kitty from a distance for some time now, and on the morning of my birthday, I was able to catch her. For the first time, she didn't run when I approached - only cowered a little - so I guess that means she's partly tamed... She's still very cautious around the kids and Eric, but she's figured out that I'm not going to hurt her.

I need another cat like a hole in the head, but she's so cute... And Hello Kitty is playing well with her. I guess we'll see how this works out... So far the other cats seem to like her. But she (new kitty) pooped twice in the fireplace this afternoon. Ugh. We have been keeping her locked in the kitchen when we're not around, but I forgot this afternoon and had the poop to deal with when I got home.

These photos don't really do her justice - she's really a cutie.

Forgot to mention...

that Mom gave us a little pot of Silvadene ointment to use on Elana's lip - we've been using it for three days, and the scrape is virtually healed. Pink, but no broken skin. That stuff is almost supernatural, it's so good.

Joy, what on earth makes it work so amazingly well? You're in pharmacology this semester, right? Maybe you can enlighten me.

Elana's latest adventure...head-butting a flowerpot!

Or maybe it was french-kissing...not sure. She and Ethan got into a fight and tumbled down the stairs a couple of days ago at Mom & Dad's - they were apparently fighting over a bungee cord (?) on the screened porch and lost their balance, falling against the (unlatched) screened door and rolling down the steps onto the courtyard stones. Somehow Ethan emerged unscathed, but Elana had a nasty scrape and dirt up her nose. Will they survive until adulthood?

The Pope... The Pope... The Pope is on Fire

This fiery figure is being hailed as Pope John Paul II making an appearance beyond the grave.

The image, said by believers to show the Holy Father with his right hand raised in blessing, was spotted during a ceremony in Poland to mark the second anniversary of his death.

I don't know about you, but to me it looks less like a waving hand and more like an extended middle finger.

Thanks, Amy! I needed this!

Verdict?

Danny's been slaving away for the past 3 days - and still some left to go. He's been painting the kitchen. What do you think? Improved?

Space Age inventions you probably use

"Paddy Blue"

Ethan chose this "kitten" from the animal shelter. He wanted "a big kitten!" I think he got it. And he was very excited that his "kitten" had blue eyes that matched his own.

Kitty Pix

Here are our newest family members. The ones of the two cats together were taken on Paddy's first night with us, as the two kittens got acquainted. The one we got from Mom is "Hello Kitty," named by Elana, of course. Paddy is the one I came dragging home - has white boots on his back feet, the "watermelon" stripes, and the little "v" shapes on his forehead are not quite as pointy as HK's. Good luck telling them apart when you can't see the feet or sides - it took me a while!

I look like this at least once a week...

The bags under the eyes - now that's a look I carry with me everyday!
