Maxine is my hero. I have a coffee thermos of her. I have had it for years. The kitty krew is doing good. Pepper still comes in more often now. But as always,he wakes us up wanting to go back outside, usually around 3 am. The lady who does my hair, she will be coming by our house to feed the cats while we are on vacation. Leaving Friday mid day for Bryson City...coming back home Monday. I'll definitely enjoy the cooler temps there. Have a wonderful new week ahead.
