We had a lovely visit with Lesley and Tim as well as their friends Ian and Sulima Mairs and son Eliott, who were on holiday from Manchester, England. More about the trip when I get some pictures downloaded. We arrived home last night after an uneventful flight. Nancy met us at the airport and we stopped for dinner at Tower Cafe.
I went to the "main" phone to check for the message light and ...... no phone in the cradle. Checked the annex phone on the end table by Alex's recliner and ..... no phone in the cradle. I found one under the drapes by the slider and Alex found the other under the couch. There were also books pushed off shelves and toys strewn all over the family room. An empty Kleenex box was by the door. Not unusual. The phones, however, are a new trick. We think they knocked them out of the cradles, grabbed them by the little antennas, and simply turned them into cat toys. Maybe they were trying to call to tell us they missed us -- or maybe just calling out for an anchovy pizza.
Everyone was glad to have us home (six days seems like forever when you are a cat). Beatrice kept us awake for a while purring and licking our noses. We would just about doze off and lllllick, purrr, nuzzle. I think every time we leave she assumes we have been adopted and are never coming back.
The weather turned coolish while we were gone and I am wearing long sleeves today. Guess it's about time to switch to fall/winter clothes. Today is laundry and grocery day, so it's a good time to start the change. I just don't put the tee shirts and things I wear during the summer back into my closet.
Back to my chores, neglected for over a week now. More about the trip tomorrow.
