Well, Lloyd wins the prize for Most Productive Saturday. He spent seven hours cleaning the Honda, and you could perform surgery in there – it’s that clean.
My day was less productive. Lloyd helped me take the sticks to the burn pile, and we ran a few errands. Back at home, I was getting the recycling rounded up and started a conversation with my neighbor. As we talked, we heard a meowing. Bob said, “Sharon heard that last night. We don’t know where it’s coming from.” Well, it was coming from the cat stuck up in their neighbor’s tree! Poor thing – all night it had been up there! I knocked – no answer, so with good intent I broke into their fenced yard and got the little thing out with a ladder. (I’m just like a fireman!) The sad part is that this barely-not-a-kitten-herself has recently given birth, because her lady bumps were pretty swollen. I spent the day trying to find her home (and her lost kittens), but no dice. She followed me all around the block but no one knew where she was from. She’s hanging out on our front stoop now, but she thinks Lloyd did a fine job with the car.
