Thanks for your supportive words, Donna!

Lynne, I'm always glad when you chime in . . . here is the latest:

Debra's Mom has been staying around the house more and more! Sunday afternoon we noticed her snoozing comfortably on the cedar chips/pine needles next to our front porch! Since it was Mother's Day, I was kinda secretly hoping she was going into labor . . . Her belly does look distended, so maybe if she is pregnant she will choose to have her kittens here . . . goody!! I have been faithfully leaving food out for her every evening, so maybe this weekend we can try to trap her once again, using all the tactics everyone has offered. We figured we'd gain her confidence and let her feel safe here before trying again . . . so it is time to give it another go!
