Cathy in the Wright

A little of everything...

Oooh! I'm just about to hit 2000 on the Site Meter. Very cool. Although, it would be interesting to know how many different people look at this site. It could just be my parents, my in-laws, and Aelfheld. (sniff) I love you guys!

The other day The Senator and I went up to our neighbor's house with a bucket of acorns for their elk. I got the female (Molly) to eat right out of my hand. The male (Pinhead) was coming over to give it a whirl, but I balked. He was a bit intimidating.

Here's a picture of the group. Molly gave birth to a female calf early this summer. The picture was taken shortly after the baby arrived. Molly looks a lot plumper these days.

I think our neighbors are hoping for another calf next year.

And now for something almost completely different...

Today was nursing home day. Here is a picture of Hoocher doing his best to wrangle a handout from Mr. Peterson.

And the staff keeps remarking how well-behaved he is. Bah! I actually had a nurse offer to buy him last week. I had a price at the tip of my tongue, but somewhere a nagging voice kept echoing something about taking candy from babies and betting on sure things and other ethical no-no's. I didn't sell.

(Before you send me a corrective missive on punctuation, Mom, Mr. Merriam and Mr. Webster say I CAN put the apostrophe at the end of no-no.)

More later on my favorite Touchy-Feely Terrorists: ELF if I find some more time.
