It has been awhile since I have blogged. Got back from the short trip and work just got busy, busy. I was out from work for one week due to illness, so I am just now getting back in the swing of things. Fall is trying to make an appearance and it is a welcome one. At least I know the 100+ degree temps are over with for now. I will miss the local tomatoes as they are no longer available at the Farmer's Markets around town. My cats continue to be the height of entertainment. I have noticed that whenever they get startled, if they are at different parts of the house, they will run to each other, huddle together and look around with huge eyes, then take off together. Guess they think there is safety in numbers. They have learned how to open the door to the large bathroom and my bedroom, so I never know what I will encounter when I get home. Yesterday they had quite the fun with the toliet paper and towels as well as knocking everything around the sink into the sink. My brother says I have about 2 more years of them knocking stuff over before they settle down. This morning Thomas let me pick him up, hold him and pet him for 30 minutes. Now that is a record. He usually is okay with about 10 minutes then he wants down. But this morning he was perfectly content to just lay against me. Nothing quite like a contented purring cat in your arms. I did have a visit from the Orkin man last week. I discovered that birds were living my attic so had to contact an exterminator who handled birds. When I called Orkin they told me they would have to refer me to their 'wildlife division'. Who knew. When I was telling the Orkin man this he laughed and said 'I am the wildlife division for Oklahoma and Western Arkansas'. He said it was sort of a promotion for him except every now and then he is not quite so sure about that when he is laying in a cramped attic trying to catch squirrels. But my attic is now bird free will all the entrances secure. My brother, ever the helpful guy, told me I should just let my cats run around the attic for a few days. Yeah, right, like I am going to subject my babies to whatever lurks in the attic.
