I’m not even going to try and catch up on all that has been
going on here in Alabama. We haven’t had
any rain in a month and it sure is dry.
Kevin has finished “moving” 32 yards of dirt, and has started cleaning
out the brush in the woods behind our house.
He figures that is a five year project.
A couple of weeks ago I joined the Prime Timers for the fall
trip. We again went to Townsend, TN, and
stayed in a large cabin in the mountains.
It was beautiful. Had some rain
while we were there but it didn’t stop us from doing what we planned. We went to Dollywood (I was not impressed)
and went to an outlet mall.
Kevin and Renea picked me up from the church when we got
back on Monday. When we arrived at my
house they had a birthday surprise for me. The cutest little kitten ever. It seems that they, along with Brian, Tracy
and their family, decided to get the kitten for me for my birthday. I had been talking about getting one so they
figured that would be the ideal birthday present. She is so cute!
They adopted her from a no kill shelter called PAWS. I was also given a litter box, litter, food,
and toys. The first couple of nights I
put her in her carrier (which they also gave me). However, she now sleeps with me. She was spade before they adopted her and had
her first couple of shots. She is also litter box trained. I have taken her for her well checkup and she
received 3 more shots. The vet did find
that she has a heart murmur, but it doesn’t stop her. She runs, jumps and climbs everything. Penny is very loving. We have spent the last couple of weeks
bonding and playing. Her official name
was listed as Penelope. I changed it to
Penny.
Of course, she doesn’t listen. She is like a little kid and has selective
hearing. I have tried water bottle
training her, but that doesn’t work. She
loves being sprayed with water. She
doesn’t have a clue what no or down means.
Needless to say I have been putting a lot of things up and away. Up doesn’t always work because she loves to
climb.
Below are a couple of pictures of my new buddy.
