I have to tell y'all I am a little weirded out by the return of Mama Cat. She came back today and it took her a while but she ate....a lot...and poor Riley got swated this afternoon by her granny. Camo came over to check her mama out and went on about the business of eating. Poor, sweet Riley trying to bond with someone and this is what she has to pick from... I am trying to get her interested in coming into the garage in the evenings but so far, she's not biting. I would let her in the garage with food and warm blankets and let her out in the mornings. It was a year ago November 25th that Mama Cat showed up with three kittens. Hmm, maybe she has a summer home in the area and feels like this is her winter residence. Who knows, but we will be keeping an eye on the situation.

Well, I don't know if Mama Cat came around today or not since we left in the early afternoon. Looked in the backyard when we got home and all the bowls were turned over so a cat or a possum had a good supper tonight. Camo has moved out of the backyard and I don't know if she took her kittens with her or if she has set them free to adult life. I said to Roy this morning if something happens to Riley we are stuck with two cats that I really don't care for, Mama Cat and Camo. You know you can get that little quickening when you know you are about to have or learn a spiritual lesson. Oh my...it was just so easy to love Cali.
We did other things this past week than be saddened by the loss of that little feral cat. On Monday we went up to Boone and yes, once again the town was rocking! So, we went to plan B which became lunch first, then shop. We ate at the Dan'l Boone Inn Restaurant. We had heard good things and we were not disappointed. After lunch, I sat in the car while Roy walked uphill to a tshirt store because he has wanted another Appalachian State tshirt. He hit pay dirt and found two and brought one for me too. Then we went to Valle Crucis to Mast. A good shopping trip and then our last stop Grandfather Mountain. Y'all, it was so dang cold up there on that bridge. My ears were freezing off! We didn't spend a lot of time up there but rather came down to the nature center area to get warm and get something to drink. Roy got some good pics during our trip up the the high country.
Tuesday, it was the good ol Costco run to Spartenburg. We had lunch at Longhorn Steakhouse and it was delicious. On our way back home Roy began not to feel well, so he rested for the rest of the evening. Wednesday, well we took Buddy to the vet for her steroid shot and mani/pedi and then of course you all know what happened during the afternoon. Meanwhile Roy was sounding worse. We had planned on going to The Farmer's Daughter but the thought of the drive and probably waiting didn't appeal to Roy, so we were so fortunate that our church did something new this year. Instead of our usual Sunday night before Thanksgiving church fellowship...the church had a Thanksgiving meal on Thursday and invited the community to come and have a good meal. So thankful for the servant hearted of our church.
Friday afternoon we had made plans with Inez and Cuman to go up to the Cattaloche. We have planned this trip several times and never have been able to find compatible times. Friday morning Roy knew he could not do it. He had no energy and he didn't want to sit there and cough and sneeze and blow his nose the whole time. So, we will hope for good weather at Christmas and go then. We did keep his holiday tradition of going to Lowe's. He was mainly looking for a couple of things for his office and we are probably going to need a new microwave soon. Think ours is on its last legs.
Well, I have a whiny cat, Buddy. She wants to go to sleep but is encouraging me to think of doing that myself. Not ready but hopefully, she will settle here soon.
