Humorous! Side note, my sis would say we have a new brother, Chip…I don’t like Chip, referring to my Dad’s love for his computer. My sis is the youngest, born 10 years after my other sis. Congrats!

Thank you, Kim. This cat belongs to my son, who is a computer scientist in Silicon Valley. The cat is becoming tech-savvy! Ha ha!

O Darlene, my sweet friend! I was busy with getting a book ready for publication, and an event of poetry-reading. Right now I am in San Francisco visiting my son. He has a cat - that’s why I penned a few lines when I found JCB’s contest was closing. Thank you so much for the “Fave” - you are so kind to me! I am back now. Love ~
