at this rate my cats will be addicts

Everyday, the cats go to the door and ask to go out.  I oblige them by opening the door and standing just inside and at the ready as they head down the porch to the back yard.  Everyday, their attempts to enjoy the day outdoors lessens.  Maybe they make it to the end of the deck, maybe not.  They are stir crazy and they know it.  Even with the sun, it is just too cold. the snow too deep (although I know that they can walk on top of all but the last 6").  I open the catnip; they cheer up.  Everybody’s happy.  Or cross eyed.. or….

Yesterday, I headed south to the capitol to meet Norma and Ruby for lunch.   Norma has lots of pictures.  Go see them, she isn’t posting on dial up. Good food, good company, the terribly sweet and cute waiter, playing with Ruby’s wonder woven scarves (like jewels) and a trip outside the Kingdom.  Better than catnip.

  1. It sounds like a lovely day for you all (including the cats!) πŸ˜‰

  2. I’m glad you went south but I wish you’d really head south so we can all get together for dinner!

  3. At least you have all-wheel paws for the trip south.

  4. Ooh, action photos – of both the cats and me and Ruby. Of course, we took woefully too few photos. But I love this photo of Ruby and me. Thanks!

  5. Time with good friends is definitely like people nip! The scarves were gorgeous, I read about them at Norma’s too πŸ™‚

    Awesome photo of you at Norma’s! Glad you got a chance to venture out of the Kingdom for some fun! Ruby’s scarves look like catnip. Off to look.
