After a week of vacation, we’re all sick, allergies I assume, the house is a wreck and I’m happy to be back to normal.
It’s amazing how the simple everyday chores I do somehow keeps the house running and how vacations always seem to screw this up, leaving me with a big fat mess to clean up.
We had a great time in
We also hooked up with W and L and L brought me a slew of wonderful books to read that will keep me happy for a long while.
As predicted, it was mostly an eating/reading vacation. You wouldn’t believe how much seafood I ingested, but our last night we dined at the Red Inn for a magnificent feast (I had a filet) and Pumpjack cabernet. Doc and DJ were treating us to dinner that night and they spared no expense!
Doc and W are wine connoisseurs so I knew the wine was going to be amazing and it was. ExpensivO but worth it. Every once in a while it is such a treat to taste a really good wine.
Finbar is adorable but sneezes like crazy every morning. He also is still sleeping in our bed so this morning I had cat snot and litter stuck to my cheek. Yes, gross, but he’s so cute I can tolerate it for a while.
Soon the litter box will move out of our bedroom Halleluiah! and we should have less litter in the bed.
I can’t believe my once cat-disliking husband tolerates it, but part of the reason I’m sure is that Finbar has chosen him as his special person.
He follows him everywhere and when he goes to bed, Finbar follows him into the bedroom, leaving me to sit on the couch alone.
It’s much easier to put up with litter crystals in the bed if the reason for the litter is so damned cute!

Minijaxter -- I would guess there's a way to change the font but I don't know how to do it...dolt that I am.

Welcome back!
I read some of your recent posts but blogger wouldn't let me comment for some reason until today.
Finbar is adorable! Great pictures! I must have missed it but I wonder how he got his name? I mentioned it to y man and he said he thought it might be gaelic?
Hi Sheryl!! I'm half-back...no not playing football but sort of sick as is poor Finbar who had to go to the Vets today for a vitamin b shot, penicillan shot and meds. He has some kind of URI that should clear up with treatment. I sure hope so as I have fallen deeply in love with the little guy.
Finbar is just a name I like and it is Gaelic..means something like fair haired. I have said for years, next male pet is Finbar and next female pet is Darby. (Guess I'm into the Irish names!!)
Welocme back! Im glad you had a great time on your vacation! Allergies suck, believe me I am going thru the same thing...ugghh!
I had very little use for cats until lil Ducky showed up at our house. She has been traumatized - her tail looked like it had been burnt off and was an infected, bleeding stump. So we took her to the vet who did a proper amputation.
While she was healing, she stayed in my office - separate from the house and the other animals. In that time, she would come up and crawl into my lap and was just so generally endearing that I couldn't NOT pet her.
She still shows very little interest in anyone else in the family but will always come to me. So ... how can you not love that?
Thanks Marko! I think half the world is suffering from allergies now because mostly everyone I know feels like crap!
Nilbo...they say that when a cat picks you to be their special person, it's one of the greatest honors bestowed on mankind. Dogs love everyone -- cats are much more circumspect and much less affectionate. When a cat jumps on your lap it's as if Mr. or Miss America called you up on the phone for a date!
