KITTY!

Well, he seems to have recovered from his recent trip to the doctor that left him a few grams less heavy in his hinder portions, and is back to ripping around and doing the things cats do.

Such as--


Drinking out of the frog:

--and looking bored and distant:

Thankfully, he seems not to care too much about chasing mice. There was a big one in the kitchen last night:

Catherine had a play at school yesterday morning, and filled the role of Squeaky, a mouse who helps this big lion with some sort of podiatric distress caused by an imbedded thorn. (Her mouse-ear-like hair styling is by Terry of Trussville.)

I talked to our South Carolina (formerly of Clinton, MS) renter-friend yesterday.

He is also his wife's color technician.

I suppose you didn't spend the bucks to get Lightning some Neuticals so he would think he had everything he was supposed to have.

Yes, I've done painting before, too, but Reba is very particular and has hard-to-color hair.

And no, Nate--he doesn't seem to miss them, so no use trying to fool him. And pay money.

But it wasn't so long ago that you were coloring her hair.

True. Near as I can remember, she's had two parlor-done dye jobs since the last time I helped her with it. They really do a lot better job than I'm able to do, because I never can seem to find all the gray, and she invariably winds up one spot that's a little too noticeable to explain away as "highlights."

I think I'm best to stick with doing-up the Tiny Terror's locks.
