October Classmate Dinner...

Front-Deb B., Cal, Mary, and Lisa. Back-Jan and me.

Another late afternoon gathering to enjoy time with old friends. I took Jan with me for a meal out, and she was embraced with open arms.

We all left by about 5 pm (like good old people lol) so we'd be home in time to watch our Brewers baseball team clinch the World Series! A perfect evening to a great day where sports history was made.

We have lots to do before I go back to work on Monday, so Jan and I are going to be really busy. I have artist trading cards to make for this month, too! Better get to it! See you tomorrow.

How's Your Week Going?...

Tomorrow Jan and I are going to do some canning, stocking up a bit more for the winter. I have chicken breasts to pressure can, and I need to put up some more beef roast meat, too. 

Today, I'm working from 10 am - 2 pm, with a classmate dinner at 3. I've invited Jan to join us, so she'll meet up with me after work and we'll go to town to visit my friends. 

This Saturday is Craft Day in Portage, and as she knows these friends, she's going to come and play, too. I think these breaks will be just what she needs right now. Plus, the more, the merrier, right? (I did okay it with Adrienne to be sure we had room.)

I'm not scheduled to work the rest of this week, so we'll be otherwise occupied until I return to work on Monday. Yippee!

Jungle Cat...

When Jan moved in, she brought lots of plants. Some of them are very large, too. Two, in particular, take up a lot of space, so we managed to tuck them into a corner of the dining room on a bench.

Last night, Handsome was a rehearsal and we watched the Brewers game (recording it so Handsome could watch it when he got home). At one point, we heard a little commotion in the dining room. 

I expected to turn around to find one of the cats playing with the long air roots on one of the monsteria plants. Instead we found Claudette hanging out on the bench.

I expect to see her doing this more frequently. She's also taken to sleeping with Jan at night. Fickle puss.
