I'm baaaack!

I'm baaaack!
(In case anyone hadn't noticed.) And in my usual Monday morning sharp-tongued, sarcastic form, too. Did y'all miss me? I was in Tennessee, visiting daughter and grandchildren and generally taking a social media break. It was fun, but I'm glad to be home. I think my cats were happy to see me too, although Empress Josephine regarded me somewhat sourly, as is her usual wont, but perhaps more so than usual, as if to say, "Who was that giant guy feeding us?" Well, Husband is rather taller than I am. Countess Marguerite Hissenspitz, however, wound around my ankles purring and allowed herself to be stroked down her back, which is a fairly new development. Life is good.

Did y'all miss me?

4. Welcome back!

I have three cats, all rescue, now roughly 2 years old. I retained the names foster mom gave them, but I embellished them all. One’s name was Buffy when I got her, but I added a middle name, making it Buffy Jo. Not yet satisfied, I decided she needed a ‘pedigree/showcat’ name: Buffham J. xxxxxxx.

5. Of course! More than Empress but a bit less than Countess.

7. My Empress

is Empress Josephine of the East, because my brother disclosed that he has a dog named Josie, also titled Empress Josephine. We agreed that she could be Empress Josephine of the West, since he lives in Berkeley. Both of them seem satisfied with that. Meggie is from German nobility, apparently.

8. What part of TN?

I'm originally from southwest TN. Welcome home.

9. East Tennessee

Where I lived for 35 years before leaving my late ex and going on the road as a travel nurse. Specifically Morristown, halfway between Knoxville and Johnson City.
