She can't wait to hear the pipers, meet her horsey friends, hear Eddie's jokes and enjoy wonderful meals with all her catmobiles chums again. There is a rumour that Eddie might even accompany her home at the end of the trip. This is all just what she needs.

Dear Samantha, what did you think of us pipers and Scottish dancer? Since you are the only true Scots-kitty here, you have the most expert eye.. AND ear.. to check for true authenticity of our performance.

Thank you for your knowledgeable opinions and suggestions! :love::love::love:

Your friends,
Sydney and Bob and Franklin and Ming (pipers) and Sparkler (dancer)

Well, I had a call from Samantha tonight. It wasn't a good line, a bit crackly - I heard some mention of the racing, but she was raving, RAVING, about the quality of the pipers and the dancing. It's hard to tell over the phone, but I would swear there were tears in her eyes. She has never seen a highland fling such as Sparkler's. I think she got some photos, which I can't wait to see.

Apparently they are going to a ceilidh tonight where the boys will be performing, and Sammy is going to be instructing the assembled company in the fine art of the Strip the Willow. I hope there is no carnage. The cats will be fine, but I just can't imagine the horses doing Scottish country dancing!!

I'm sorry I didn't check in earlier, but there was a wonderful surprise at church this morning. We are Presbyterian and our pastor was educated in Scotland, so there are strong Scottish roots with our faith and this congregation. We had a presentation after service for a special campaign and there was a great performance - BAGPIPES!! Oh, the kitties were WONDERFUL!!:D

Cassie got home about 2 this morning. She was sleeping soundly under the love seat, so I don't know yet how the trip was. I'm sure it was terrific!

Franklin and The Princess are home too... Franklin is pouting because I told him he could not have a horsie. I gave in to the bagpipe thing but I gotta put my foot down about the horse......:D
Chelsea is back to wandering around with that dreamy look on her face.:love:

Groucho and Inka also arrived home in the wee hours. They both woke up long enough to inhale some chicken. All I was able to find out was they had a great time, a non stop party. Then they jumped back in their box and fell asleep in seconds.

I was able to find out that Groucho invited Franklin to join him for a few days at the New Jersey Horsepark. Arrangements have been made with the stable manager for Groucho and Franklin to do all of the day to day horsecare...feeding, grooming, clean stalls, everything involved with horses. This will NOT be a party!!! Groucho and the stable manager are hoping that once Franklin sees what's involved with having a horse he'll change his mind.
