I order my cards from Walmart in early October after I have good diving photos. They appear at my door in about a week.

This effort has turned into a nice little partnership:
There is a cat colony, near my house, a colony of feral cats. Someone has made a nice cat house for them out of plywood and tarps. The other day I saw a woman servicing the cat house with food and water, so I stopped and talk to her. I told her I was going to drop off some money for her for cat food.
as it turns out, she has low income being recently on disability for an injured back. She lives with her mother, who’s on Social Security. They have a nice brick house that probably doesn’t cost a whole lot to maintain and Hermann but money is tight. So I dropped off some cash to her, and we talked further, and she needed more plywood.
So DH worked with her to get plywood.
I told her I’m really glad she’s taken care of this cat colony of about six or seven cats, that originally started out to be 15. She took over caring for them when their original caretaker went into a nursing home. I told her I do not want the responsibility of a cat colony, so I’m very, very happy that she’s doing that and we can contribute monetarily towards that effort.
How nice! Sounds like a perfect partnership!Originally Posted by iris lilies

Sounds like that is going to work out. You have cash (and plywood) and she does the work.
I get a ridiculous amount of pleasure by watching Instagram videos of cats carrying things in their mouths, usually dragging the things.
Yes, the cat videos are quite amusing.
Our cats have a big toy basket and one spends a lot of time digging to find just the right toy. Right now there are at least 5 on the stairs and 3 in the middle of the living room.
Only one of our cats plays with toys, the girl cat. We keep her toys under the breakfast table, behind chairs, so that our brat of a dog doesn’t steal her toys and chew them up. He is afraid of the chair legs and won’t go into a space like that.
His giant bulldog jaws destroys her toys in 2 seconds if he ever gets to them.
Lately she has been bringing her mouse toy, which she completely IGNORED for months, upstairs each night. I look for it and bring it down, putting it safely away, each morning.

When we first got our now elderly Siamese cat, he would drag a piece of string around the house and howl. Then he would try to hump it even though he had been neutered. A string?
Went to the final farmers market of the season here in my town and actually got there early enough to buy some produce! The farmer, knowing it was the last market day, pulled and cleaned ALL his carrots to bring to market and they were gorgeous! I bought two bunches and two of the cutest little baby cabbages! They looked like giant Brussels sprouts. One for each of us, DH and I.
It's been such a gorgeous day with the cold air, blue sky, and the golden leaves falling.
My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!
