We all had a ball in Chicago, the pipers playing the Star Spangled Banner and Sparkler dancing as spectacular fireworks exploded in the sky.

We can't wait to welcome all our friends again for the Saline Celtic Festival this weekend! And any of you who want to come early, as Cassie is doing, are welcome to stay here and hang out with us. There is plenty of room for you all and plenty of food on hand (we are sure Meowmie will take care of all that as needed).

Do let us know when and where the Catmobile should be picking you up.. it will of course be making the rounds of Detroit Metropolitan Airport and all the train stations along the Chicago-Detroit route and farther...
