Operation Basementcat a success! Got greycat safely placed in the basement with a blankie, cat food, water and litter box right before the thunderstorm hit last night. He knew it was going to be a vicious storm and was on the front porch crying to come in at midnight. He was a perfect gentleman, and Annie behaved herself as well. I was able to sleep soundly, too, knowing he was safe, warm and dry.

Happy Memorial Day!

Papa's flag is flying from the front of the house. It's a beautiful clear day and supposed to get into the 80s. A little yard work, and then thepool.

Quietly remembering our veterans today. Papa was in the Pacific during WWII. My dad was in Germany after the war, then later in Korea. My grandfather was exposed to nerve gas in France during WWI (and his diary now resides in the Library of Congress). Heroes all.

And there are so many more to whom we owe our undying gratitude for defending our freedom. Some on these very threads.

Thank you, and God bless you all.
