What have I done?
My oldest brother Paul called - can you cat sit for me while I am in Canada
for a couple of weeks? Uh, sure. He'll be by tomorrow to bring me a key to his house. Told me where the food is and asked that I just drop in every couple of days, clean the litter box, make sure she has food, fresh water, like that. I've never met this cat. He says she is something akin to the elephant man; she has some sort of bone deformity but is a lovey sweet cat. Here is the kicker; I don't get along with this brother. I don't even know how to get to his house! I had to ask him to please bring me written directions. (Great family I have, eh?) But sure, I have a soft spot for cats so okay. I'll watch out for the kitty Jill |

John's got me checking fares for an excursion to upstate New York. Brother will just have to find someone else or board the kitty. Jill |

Jill Hi Jill, Where is the show going to be held at in Syracuse? I am only about 15 to 20 minutes from there! Patti Hi Patti! I don't know the exact location or the "name" of the show. The dates are 7/16 - 7/18. If the process holds true to past form, the exhibitors set up Friday morning and there would be a "preview" that evening, usually 5 or 6 PM until dusk. Then the show would run from around 10-6 Saturday and Sunday. I'll try to get and post the particulars when he calls today. He's already up there; his mother lives in Rochester. The airfares are ticking me off. Syracuse is far too expensive to fly into from Memphis so he had me check Rochester. Much more reasonable. However, the MEM to ROC fare last night round trip was $373. This morning it's up to $461. This always seems to happen. Since he reimburses me, he takes a "let's wait and see what happens" stance (I don't blame him) but then the fares LEAP. What gives with that?! If I'm going to be up there helping out, I absolutely have to book this today. Due to other circumstances I'd have to fly in on Wednesday, 7/14. Doesn't leave much time for getting everything done that needs to be done before I go to the airport. Jill |
