cards, cats & wishful thinking

I love cards. I love giving them and I love receiving them.
Now, I am even making my own. But, once in awhile I come across a lovely card that reminds me of someone. This card makes me think of my mother-in-law, Mabel. She was the first 'bird lover' I ever met. She knew the names of most of our native birds and at Christmas she would have her tree over-flowing with beautiful, festive birds.
I know she will enjoy this card. 
I am off to cat-sit before the big snowstorm hits. Luckily, all the homes are in my town and not in the country.
Did you know that most of my kitty-client homes have 3 cats. That seems to be the magic number in these parts. I have a VERY BUSY weekend ahead with some of my regulars and a new cat to get to know. 
A Maine Coon, no less.
You'll meet him

Later, I will want some tea. Now who shall I invite over to share a cup of tea? How about these two dudes?
Mind you they won't look like this but they have aged gracefully.
hugs, Deb
