Hmm, today what's making me happy? Well, a friend of mine that I haven't heard from in four years called me up to tell me that he's broken his addictions to crack and alcohol and he's joined a seminary. He called to tell me he was ok and that he was grateful for all the years I had loved and supported him even though he didn't deserve it.
It was truly a prayer answered to hear his voice and know that he was ok. I've got my friend back, and I have hope now that people can make it out of almost anything. One down, one to go, I guess.

Autumn makes me happy. The swirling leaf devils and the endless rivers and dancing flocks of starlings. The dramatic skies and quality of light, especially when the setting sun lights the autumn trees against a steely sky.

Have to agree with you Jas. The sunsets have been awesome around us at least.

I don't know about happy, persay, but it sure made me laugh. Sindarin, one of Ivy's cats, has been going NUTS watching all the dead leaves flying around in the ( considerable) wind. He finally just couldn't stand it any more. Sat there, watching and shaking, watching and squeaking, ( and he's not one to talk much), building up , building up, until finally he snapped! Came tearing out of the kitchen, where he'd been perched on the table, shrieked hysterically, FLUNG himself at the big living room window..................... and just sort of SPLATTED against it spread eagle and slithered, stunned, to the floor!!!!! He's FINE, not to worry! I ran directly over to check... just as soon as I could breath again from laughing! He was a little dazed, but then, he often looks that way! At any rate, he's back watching the leaves, but MUCH more subdued this time, and I've certianly had MY laugh for the day!! Poor guy, he's as sweet as they come, but no one ever accused him of having the brains of the operation! ( That'd be his sister, Nim!) I DO love the kitties!

Or maybe she didn't steal it.
Maybe the pear decided to make a break for it, and she killed it in the middle of the living room floor.
Either way, she was found with one seriously beat-up pear in her paws earlier today.

Just for the edification of the board....that cat is a FREAK!!!!! (And I ought to know...I've got some serious little freaks myself!) Nimrodel-the freak in question- is a lovely little tabby and white with an attitude as big as all outdoors, who evidently is the world's first vegetarian cat! While she won't touch fish or milk or anything really 'catty', she'll steal just about anything vegetable! Now, I'm the fruit and veggie person in the household, so it's inevitably my stuff she's heading for the hills with. Collard greens once ( she was just half grown at the time , so the leaf she swiped was as big as she was! Chewed it up good, too!) Salad greens, green beans, peas...the afore mentioned pear, you name it!! I once made a pasta with a plain, meatless sauce and when I turned around and caught her scarfing it down and yelled, she stuffed her face deep into the bowl ,grabbed a glob as big as she was, and fled for her life, leaving a trail of pasta in her wake that extended the length of the apartment! The other day, just proir to the pear incident, she discovered a bowl I'd just had chopped celery in and began to lick it out as frantically as if it had recently held cream, or fillet, or something! Weird,very,very weird!!!

Altho, in retrospect, it may be at least partly inherited, Her mother, Cara, a delightful little tortiseshell wildling that I found starving in a hideous blizzard one winter, had seriously freaky tastes in food too, if not as picky as her offspring.Cara would eat just about ANYTHING, be it animal ,vegetable, or three year old, petrified cheese doodles from under my car seat! ( Don't have any idea what catagory THOSE would fall under!) The most memorable of her weird snack episodes-and keep in mind here, at this point she was VERY well fed-was the time she stole and inhaled a bunch of cookie crumb coated STRAWBERRY TOPS that I'd brought for the goats!!!She sucked down every one, and went looking for more! I'd always put her bizarre eating habits down to having been a starving stray. She wasn't the first starvling I'd had who never quite got over it. But, as I said, in retrospect, maybe the whole line of 'em are just NUTBALLS!!! Or, maybe that pear WAS a rouge out to get us, and she brought it down and saved the day!? Nawww.... that wouldn't explain the collards, or the beans, or my having to pick pasta out of the carpet! And she steals wrapped candies, too. She doesn't eat those, just stashes them in her so- far secret hiding place until she feels like playing with them! It's become commonplace to be greeted by a gnawed mint, or a battered caramel in the middle of the carpet upon rising of a morning...................

I'm happy because my friends and I are so versatile. For instance, tonight we got all snazzied up and went to the symphony. We were ridiculously classy, and spent the night talking about obscure instruments, favorite conductors, and tuxes with tails.
However, tomorrow bright and early we head to the All Ohio Reptile Show in Columbus, where we will take pictures all day long with all manners of reptiles, amphibians, mammals, birds, and rednecks. Seriously, it's the most podunk place ever - soooooo shady we're not even sure if all of it's legal. But it's fun!
So that makes me happy - tonight we're classy ladies and tomorrow we'll be covered head to toe in pythons!!

Okay this is going to be sappy Having my one son come over with his family and being thought of as grandma. Not his birth children. Blended families here. And putting a pic that one of the kids drew on the fridge that said to grandma . Also being with friends and learning a new board game plus the conversation in between potty breaks. Hilarious. Had me in tears and my stomach hurting. Thank you my Lady Monfort
