This is Mousey. He's 10 years old and his owner Denise died 10 years ago this month at the age of 38.

He turned up last week in a colony of feral and abandoned cats in upper Manhattan. He was microchipped, and Magnificat Rescue traced it to an obituary and then to his late owner's parents who live three hours away. Rita, Denise's mother, said that she offered to take Mousey after her daughter's death but Denise's husband took him and they haven't heard from Mousey or their son-in-law since.

Today, Mousey went home to live with his grandparents. They think it's a miracle. Here they are with Mosey and Denise's sistrt.

What a great story, Larry!

Meeting good - and I now have my set designer for A Carol Christmas - Tesshi Nakagawa, who did Levi. L.A. Now and Then, and Li'l Abner.

Nice!

Jane, your planter looks very nice. These are the artificial plants, right?

Yes & thank you. Basically it has been a planter filled with rocks since we moved in. We only kept two of the original artificial plants. Today we found the piece of driftwood Keith added.

I see your girl in the background, too.

It's amazing what people will complain about. I hope no one objects this time.

The complaint was that she sat on the planter wall. We knew that was probably a no, no. We had to put her there for safety while we set up inside. Just about everyone that came by loved her so we didn't rush to move her. The woman who reported us was told she was only there temporally and still reported us. She might have nicely explained we needed to move her as soon as possible. Fortunately the day she reported us, and the very nice complex manager told us, we had the space inside for her.

We have to work very hard to get along with this person who takes the rules to an extreme and reports instead of telling you directly that there is an issue.

Thank you all for the continued vibes.

Thank you. I don't think the photo does it justice. You can imagine what a delight it is for us not to have a rock pile out there. We really think the HOA should have done this. The upside of spending our own money is that we could buy what we liked and Keith could design it.

Very nice picture, Jane!

And now, I'm off to my parents'.

Until later!

Good news, Vixmom. Continued vibes.

Bruce, I can recommend Nutribiotics nasal spray with grapefruit seed extract. I was surprised to find it's listed as an Amazon's Choice item. I didn't think many people knew about it, but the reviewers like it, too. Under $9. If your sinus issues are severe you'll probably need more than a nasal spray. But this will help, either by itself or in combination with another product.

I am now officially on vacation!

Tomorrow is a trip to Houston for Jan and Jim's 55th anniversary party. That should be fun.

This afternoon, the woman who's been a big help directing our team while we've been director-less told us that we'd all have to work on a huge project that may take six months and up to 50% of our time.

It will be a good team builder, but I don't have that kind of free time. Thankfully, I was given a project that will be fun as it involves writing and editing.

But the irritable woman didn't complain about the rock pile?

I left early. I had done all the damage I could. So, I went to Half Price Books and did some small damage -- I found a fun Texas cookbook in the clearance section and a Patrick Modiano novel.

Jeanne · « **Reply #112 on:** June 08, 2018, 06:50:15 PM »

Yes, if it's a common area, the HOA should have taken care of it.

John G. · « **Reply #113 on:** June 08, 2018, 06:51:30 PM »

Then I went to a CD Warehouse where I found a Buster Keaton movie I didn't have, Steamboat Bill Jr.

Now I'm listening to the new Stephen King, The Outsider, which is fun in a gruesome way.

Good news from Vixmom.

Will you have a new crown made for that tooth? Both of my root canals ended up with new crowns. I think that's standard procedure, but don't know for sure.

TTFN.

Got a surprising amount of tomatillos ripe and ready to use. I'm going to make a chimichurri with some of the sorrel in the backyard. And then freeze it.

I had a lovely e-mail from D.C. Fontana, she the writer of many Star Trek episodes - she just finished GEE are really liked it and was making suggestions for a movie adaptation and how she'd approach it.
