I will be careful, promise to stay away from trains for now. oo, dog park! that means we'll have to find a place to put cats for a while. we can discuss more later..

pitc9! it was a scary thought about if I've had been hit by train and .. yikes. I didn't say good bye to anyone or even my thunder cats and you all will just never hear from me again. when I am gone, I am gone. I mean anything could happen, and to anyone! that reminds me to email everyone I love.

hehe, crayola and layla.. silly kids! both like to be a MOUSE, "chase me friend!" but no one chased .. it was hilarious to watch though. hey, I love that picture of you, annette!

yesterday I had a grrreat-great time visiting phesina! she's just as sweet as online. had nice time walking with you at the park! twice. beautifulbeautiful.. perfect day. and! I fell in looove with elmer! good thing you were in the house with me the whole time, otherwise I'd have snatched him.. oh aw, I'm whinning now!! he's just utterly flipping insanely cute.. it was nice seeing your other furkids too, you've always included their names with yours. thankyou for a day with us!

just fed the chilling motel cats - off to pick up more ice cubes for crayola, he never get enough of them! we are currently in chicago, illinois until later afternoon - we'll be stopping at mississippi river for a swim.

ciao ciao for now folks!

Gina came by shortly after noon yesterday. She found my place with no trouble. I got to meet her and Crayola and all her beautiful, sweet kitties. The animals were all so good.. they let me pet them and didn't try and jump out of the car when the door was open.

Then we went to my apartment, and she met my kitties. They were all shy and did their best to stay out of sight. I brought Elmer, my Cerebellar Hypoplasia boy, up to her. He struggled and tried to get away (which he does when there's anyone he doesn't know around), as she pet him gently.

She also met the earthly remains of my sweet little angel Priscilla, who went to the RB in April.. a small box of ashes.

Then we and Crayola went for a walk in County Farm Park, about a block and a half from my place. The weather was gorgeous! Sunny and in the 70s. We then went to a nearby sandwich shop for a bite to eat. Afterwards Gina said she wanted to go back to the park because she'd forgotten to bring her camera along the first time. We got the camera from the car, then went on an even longer walk this time! Gina took lots of pictures.

Then she came back to my apartment to say goodbye to my kitties. Peony let her pet her, Sydney did a little, Poppy stayed out of reach as usual.. and then Gina picked Elmer up. He tried to get away at first, but she kept petting him, and he relaxed and started enjoying it. He was even purring! He had that look on his face like he was smiling. I think Elmer and Gina are new best friends!

After that, Gina & Crew headed off on their way to Illinois.

It was a wonderful afternoon and a pure delight to meet Gina and her Ark at last!

Happy Trails to you all, Godspeed, safe journey and safe home, Gina, Crayola, and kitties.

Love,
Pat, Peony, Sydney, Poppy, Elmer, and of course Priscilla Angel
