great escape

so brownie the cat escaped from the house about an hour before j's parents were to arrive at our house...i was just doing a few last minute things...taking out the recycling...check the mail...i looked down on the porch and said to myself...hmm the neighborhood cats don't usually get this close...but then i saw the tail..stubby tail of my cat!!! zoom she was off...

with the help of our neighbor we were able to track her back and forth between our two yards...i did a lot of crawling around doing the here brownie call...and trying not to freak out...all the while j is at the airport picking up his folks...i kept thinking how sad he would be that i lost the cat...and how sad i would be...after 45 minutes of frantic chasing she started to recognize that i was trying to help her...and she hopped back on to our porch railing and started to MEOW!!! like i have never heard....

i tip toed up the steps and opened the door...in she went...wet and scared but unharmed...with a little food and brushing i was able to pet her and explain that i was sorry that i chased her but needed to have her home...then another shower...a glass of wine...and we were off to the clay pit for dinner...it was awesome as usual...but not usual since we got to share our meal with j's folks...they had a long...delay after delay...day of flying and i think were happy to finally be here...

and finally...for the first time since tuesday...i slept the whole night through until 7.30am...today is for baking and prep for tomorrow...the big day
