...9.22...from a visit 'Home'....

...the obligatory back porch photo of the view I grew up with...
...we were greeted (sweetly - so strange I know as this cat had always been pretty terrifying) at the door by Mom's 16 year old cat Twighlight...
...we saw a white squirrel...they used to be very rare...and then they were pretty rare...and now we often seem them...you can read about North Carolina's White Squirrels here...
...and we saw a whole herd of deer resting in the woods on our way up to get the mail...
...we celebrated the Man's birthday...
...and then we celebrated Mom's birthday a little bit too...
...my whole family will recognize this photo of my great-grandparents...because it hung on Grandma's picutre wall...and now it hangs on Mom's picture wall...
...and she gave me an exact copy...I offered to let her have the nicer newer one...but she wanted to keep the one she had...love that...

~Have a lovely day!

  1. Yes, it's really strange to have Twilight as a "nice cat"! Love, K

    1. Hey K,
      ...yeah...I've petted her multiple times...with no hissing or batting at all...and I helped mom put her medicine on her and she was pretty calm...it made her mad but she didn't bite me...
      Love,
      T

  2. Okay, that squirrel stuff is pretty dang neat!! Never heard of that! And very cool on the family photo and family fun. I am sure you treasure both. Glad to hear it.

    1. Hi Beth,
      ...back in the nineties the white squirrels were pretty much a Transylvania County thing and they were not spotted all that often...but they have really multiplied so it seems to be a dominant trait...which is kind of surprising to me...

    2. When I was telling someone about your white squirrels that is where we landed, too. Surprised that white fur would become dominate since lighter hair color (at least in humans) seems always to be recessive. Shows what I know!!!
