   When I brought Max (avatar cat) inside, he was a stray born to one of the neighborhood strays that I fed on my front porch. I had two other cats at the time, so I did the same thing – shut him in a room by himself with food, water and a litter box. Since he’d been born outside, I put newspapers down under the litter box, but he knew exactly what it was for. He had used it when I checked on him the next day. Max was the sweetest cat I’ve ever had. I had him for 12 years when he had a seizure and crossed the Bridge in 2018. I still miss him every day.

   Not that I disagree with the idea that material things can bring true happiness, but I do have two favorite jokes about that saying. (1) Anybody who says money can’t buy happiness doesn’t know where to shop. (2) A rich character on a TV show said in response to someone who told her that money can’t buy happiness “We only tell poor people that so they won’t riot”.

   Right, I just couldn’t remember the name. My grandmother also made doilies, but I think they were something different.

   My daughter does that. I thought she was the only one because it just didn’t seem like a good idea to me. Problem is, I think we’re out of superglue.

   I’ve been having even more trouble than usual with that. I seem to have cut the tip of my index finger to the point I had to put a Band-Aid on it and it’s a PITA to type with a Band-Aid on your finger. I’m an old and I just can’t do the type with your thumbs thing the kids do. I just use my index finger. Right now, I’m on my desktop computer, so I’m alright, but texting is a pain.

   Me too. I can’t knit or crochet. The only thing I could do was embroidery and I wasn’t all that good at that. My grandmother did something called tatting which involved a very fine string and something called a bobbin, but not the kind that goes in a sewing machine. She made lacy looking things that she put on the arms and backs of chairs to keep the sweat and oil from your body from staining the chair.

   It doesn’t have to be either or. Some of us like both cats and dogs. I admit, I don’t own a dog. My lifestyle just isn’t compatible with having a dog. I do love them, though. Golden retrievers are the most adorable dogs on the planet. And so are many other breeds. I’m just more of a cat person.

   I have zero artistic talent. My potholders were always crooked. I couldn’t get them to be square no matter how hard I tried.

    I can barely sew on a button, but my grandmother made clothes for my Barbie. That doll had nicer clothes than I did. You should have seen the wedding gown my grandmother made. A lot of women would probably love to have a gown as nice as that one. I think the doll and all the clothes were given to my cousin after I outgrew dolls.
