9 Lives

If you can't tell from the picture...this is our cat Rosy stuck under the hood of my SUV. This afternoon I heard some meowing in the garage and finally surmised that it was coming from the car. I popped the hood and couldn't see anything but I could hear that there was a cat inside. Luckily Derek was home because once we got a flashlight and spotted Rosy, it took a while to figure out how to free her. Derek ended up having to take out some screws that attached to a pan of some sort, and loosening it enough to tilt it down and release Rosy to live another day. The strange thing was that the car engine was hot so we are not sure if Rosy was inside when I drove to a tennis practice for two hours. 

Adding On

Every year when it warms up we pull out

the stored outdoor furniture 

and gain this additional room. 

It quickly becomes my favorite.

It is secluded and comfortable. 

The view could be a painting.

Welcome home summer.

I am so happy that I have this picture. 

I love the look on my Mom's face.

I see admiration, devotion and love. 

And on my dimpled face,

contentment, security, joy.
