Finally Friday with Guests!


Georgia: The weather is getting colder, but but we  have 
not had any snow yet,  only flurries one day.
We still get out on the porch as it is not too cold.


 JJ: I like being on the porch too.
I can look outside and see what is going on,
or have a snooze.


Julie: I like the porch or anywhere I can keep an eye on Mom.
I always have to know where Mom is.


Treasure: I like this kitchen window.
I do not sit up her very often, but I like it.


Mom and Auntie N and Uncle E went to see an exhibit
They got to meet Gus, who was out having lunch before 
enjoying a walk around the museum.


Gus is about 90+ years old and is a Gopher Tortoise.
He was raised in Florida and brought to the museum in 1942.
He is eating his lunch of lettuce leaves(he ate 3) and 
half of a banana.
After his walk, he went back to his enclosure and snoozed 
under his heat lamp.


Mom also got to meet a new kitty.


This is Oscar and he belongs to Auntie and Uncle bean's 
son and his girlfriend. 


He is full of energy as he is only 9 weeks old.
He already wants to play with Mom's laces.
We do not mind Mom playing with Oscar because
she did not bring him home.


Have a fun weekend friends!
