whew! I’m so glad. I was worried TT wouldn’t be allowed to get food by the more aggressive cats. Seems she’s one of them!

Glad PB is going good. I do love orange tabbies, but that’s the one kind of cat I haven’t had yet.

You have a good memory - my son is still in training in Mississippi for the Air Force. He’s got a long one - from last Oct till June. Then he heads off to Japan, of all places! He wanted to go overseas and see the world - and he’s getting to. He’s very excited. I never even considered going to Japan, but will now. But the place is in the far north and has interesting weather - lots of snow, monsoons, and winds. ;)

Then he heads off to Japan,<<<

Japan is what you make of it, some of my Navy relatives can name every bar and ‘house’ in town.

Others like Eloise and Chris, went there, back in the 1960’s and couldn’t get base housing, so rented one of the then paper houses in a Japanese community and loved it so much they went back for a second tour of duty and she had Japanese visitors for the rest of her life, another 35 years.

She got started teaching them to speak english as we do/did then, to her neighbors.

Some of them were of some importance and they asked her to come and speak at their clubs and business groups.

She traveled all over Japan in fine style, and as she did not have work permits, they knew she was interested in antiques and gave her the fines Japanese antiques as thank you gifts.

When she went the first time, she was a Navy First Class wife, really a no-body in the world, Cris did make Chief before he retired.

Eloise, was like me, she wanted to know everything the world contained, so there was not much that did not interest her.

If your son wants to see the world, then tell him to stay out of the bars.

LOL, as if you hadn’t already.
