Now? Meh. I drive a manual transmission, rather tatty SUV that serves as dog transport, hay wagon, you-name-it. As long as it's reliable and gets me up the mountain in the winter, I love it.

We'd stay close enough so the camera was within shouting distance, make the occasional supportive noise and then just dish about everything else! <br /><br />I know what you mean about coming back as a house cat. I often think the same of Lizzie. She has it far better than most! (I do think Scooter had a plan when he started, but the best laid plans...)<br /><br />Sorry about your rain and limb and glad it was taken down quickly. We got the same thing you did on Saturday night. Torrential downpour --much of which went into my basement. Good ol' Rick -- he came through -- climbing up on the roof in thunder and lightning to clean the eaves over the window where it was pouring in. Buckets later (and loads of sopping towels and two fans) it's pretty good -- but I have to start the purging today!Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-80733315240871905972017-06-19T07:43:29.783-04:002017-06-19T07:43:29.783-04:00Too funny about your cat.
