Not
one, but two packages! One, from a long-time reader, with the cat breed
playing cards. I giggle every time I look at these. The cards fit in the
hand very nicely, better than the usual rectangle. And you are likely
to see more of them; I think the cards would make great icons for
Friday Cat Blogging posts, don’t you?
The other, another magical care package from non-blogging poet friend Cindy (she is truly gifted at gifting, as well as at poeming.) This time, Alaskan Fireweed Honey soap and Tasty Tangerine lip balm.
I haven’t tried the soap yet (it smells . . . gosh, it smells edible)
but the lip balm is lovely. Then there are those plastic castanets maracas from some tiny musical country. Henry wants them. He always thinks toys are for him. Especially toys that make noise.
And that’s not all:
She
included several postcards — three of which are waiting for tomorrow’s
post, stamped and addressed to my senators and congressperson (we only
get one out here) — click the card to go to the site and learn about
this inventive idea to waste our money and destroy the wilderness at
the same time! Let’s build a dangerous and destructive road where boats
do better, cheaper, safer! Oh yes! Let’s!
You can send a card to your representatives right from the website. Spike and Boo ask you to do it in the name of reasonable government and for all the wild Alaska creatures this insane idea would displace.
It’s Friday. Go peruse this week’s Carnival of the Cats; Carnival of the Dogs; and Friday Ark.
