All this, and a cat, too!
Tonight I went to a 4th of July party at someone's big house on the
beach. Apparently this is a semi-public party, not that it's advertised publicly, but the people have been giving the party every July 4 for many years, and it has a certain word-of-mouth publicity. I didn't know the hosts, but I got invited by a friend who'd been invited by another friend, and so on. There was a huge BBQ, and the kitchen table was a buffet of fabulous BBQ chicken, salads, snacks, and drinks. Some food was brought by guests and some was supplied by the hosts. Several people I knew, who I play music with regularly, were there, so I had brought a drum and percussion stuff, and at some point, we got out our instruments, and started a big music jam. The whole room was dancing! We had a lot of fun. Still later, I went out onto the back deck, which overlooks the beach. There was a hot tub out there, so I decided to get in. Ahhhhh... very good decision. After soaking for about 45 minutes, I got out, dried off, and was relaxing in the cool night air, when a lovely little tortie with white paws (does that make her technically a calico? she had such a tortie-looking face) came by to visit. Another guest was sitting out there also, and he turned out to be a cat lover, so we took turns petting the sweet little girl and telling each other our cat stories. The kitty was very appreciative and kept going back and forth between us, apparently trying to decide who to get attention from next. What a perfect ending to a lovely evening! Joyce |

Joyce Sounds like a great Fourth of July party, Joyce. =o) I'll bet with a houseful of strangers, that kitty was DELIGHTED to find two such appreciative cat lovers among the guests. I attended a fourth of July party yesterday at a house that also has a resident ca. But whenever Elsa, the hostesses' daughter, would bring him into the livingroom, Buddy would beat a fast retreat as soon as he was allowed to do so. We all remarked on his resemblance to Garfield, in the matter of size and coloring. Melissa |
