lillypaddle this morning, and now the spring is flowing for me, too. Pass it on!

I had a journal that I stared at for weeks, and in which I made but one entry about Claude the cat, and his relationship with my vacuum cleaner.

This was maybe 35 years ago.

Time for me to get another. I've just retired, and there's much to enjoy.
