Hi Potties! A nice late summer day here - I've spent most of it watching football. My GA Southern won their game but it was close. Godson Eddie got lucky & was gifted with tickets to the UGA-Clemson game that was played in Charlotte, NC (for some reason) tonight. It was a fantastic defensive game & to my great joy, UGA won!!! I suspect neighbor Zac was happy too since his alma mater, Alabama, just rolled over poor Miami (FL). Now if my Saints can beat Green Bay tomorrow, I'll have had a great 1st weekend for football.
This afternoon before the games, I ran by the booth long enough to pay the rent & put a few new things out. I had some empty spots but not as many as I've been having recently. As long as I clear the rent I consider it a successful month.
I stopped by the old house on the way home & gathered up a few odds 'n ends. It shouldn't have come as a surprise, but a box I was digging in just happened to have 2 Pyrex 4 qt. mixing bowls in it. I thought of Katie since one was a pink Gooseberry pattern. I also unearthed 2 Lenox swans - 1 placecard holder sized one & 1 rather large one. I suspect Bear had bought them as gifts for me & then forgot he had them. He bought a fair bit of stuff in 2008 & must have stuffed them in the "junk" room & forgotten they were there. Believe there were a couple of pieces of Duncan Miller "Seascape" also but didn't want to dig them out until I can bring them home safely & today wasn't the day. I may go back over on Mon. & put together another load. I did notice Bear had 1 4-holder plate rack that I'll try & get off the wall & bring over here with some of his gorgeous Lotus & Dragon carnival bowls. I think I can squeeze out enough space for at least 1 rack.
When I was over there the other day I noticed a planter that was full of bloomed out magic lilies that I'll send home with Selena the next time she's over here. I was really surprised to see a couple of dozen, at least, that are just now blooming near the house. I think that bunch will come here to live.
I haven't seen Smoke in a good while. I hope he's just blessing someone else with his presence & will be back sometime soon. Maybe he somehow found out I had flea drops for him & he wasn't interested in having them.
I took Cyclops early Fri. AM to get his stitches out from his eye surgery. I was pleasantly surprised when he crawled up in my lap 2 nights earlier in the week & used my shoulder for a pillow for about an hr. each night. I got him in the carrier without bloodshed this time. Maybe the mellowing meds he got actually worked. He was back in my lap tonight but didn't stay too long. I tend to get rowdy during football games & he wasn't impressed with my behavior.
Guess it's about time to feed the zoo - I'm getting surrounded the longer I sit here.
Hope all is well with Shelly - I'm pretty sure she lives in PA - not sure just where. Think she mentioned in the past that they're on high ground, but not sure memory serves me right.
Everybody take care. Hopefully the bad weather is pretty much over with for the time being. Later.
Susan
