The Thursday with a library visit

Hi,

We walked up to Wadestown library after work to meet John and Christine.  Wee Tom is already 5 years old, so he isn't that wee anymore.  He starts school at the Side School in tow weeks!  His birthday is Jan 14.  Unlike everyone else in the world whose birthday is Jan 17.  ;-)  But as his mother said:  he's before his time.

We ate Burger Wisconsin at their house after stocking up on library books.  Shhhh.  Don't tell Toby.  He likes Burger Wisconsin and I have told him on the phone we're doing nothing exciting here except awaiting his return.

Went home around 8pm and now we have to confess something.  We seem to have lost our cat.  Merlot has been missing since Sunday night - that was the last time she came and smooched with us.  Pretty sure she hasn't been to eat any food.  And now Mike says I mustn't keep food out as we need to lure her back to us.  So we went door-knocking at the neighbours places last night asking if they had seen her.

We met (again) the new neighbours on the corner.  They are Americans, from New Jersey.  They seem like very nice people and love reading (and possibly might be writing books as well, judging from a comment made).  They have told me to come in and choose a book virtually when I want.  And their taste is remarkably like mine.  With an American flavour.


But, at least we determined they haven't seen Merlot since the weekend.  The neighbours across the way are sure they have seen her in the last few days so we haven't given up hope.  We suspect someone is home from holidays and so pleased to see her she is getting fed Fancy Feast every day and patted.  That's our theory.

I hope she turns up before Toby gets home.

Weekend plans include taking the garage lining off, emptying said garage, storing said garage stuff somewhere, buying safety equipment to remove said garage lining.  Pretty much all weekend will be spent working on the garage.  Sigh!

Hope your weekend looks better than our one.  But at least Toby will be home on Sunday night (midnight) and we'll see Dad as well.  And we have Monday off (a long weekend here).

Love,
Angela
