Happy Mother's Day

I've had a Happy Mother's Day today. Amanda baked me an awesome cake.

Minnie was delicious.

For about a nanosecond, it occured to me that it might be disrespectful to eat Minnie. But I got over that notion quickly.

Children are a gift from God. And then they grow up and bake you cakes! It just gets better and better.

Happy Mother's Day to Sarah, Steph, Jenny, Mona, Ruth and Eleanor!

Strange Laundry

Last night I watched as my cat Rex strolled leisurely across the top of my dresser. Then, suddenly, he disappeared from sight. Here's where he went:

Don had just finished sorting the laundry and the bag was empty. Then it became full of cat.

Rex is four years old and weighs about 17 lbs. He has three black dots on his nose in the shape of Mickey Mouse. He likes to hang out in my room, and this is the first time he has attempted a foray into the laundry bag.

After several attempts, he managed to work his way out.

Next we will teach him to sort the delicates from the permanent press.
