First of all, I wonder if JaneEden knows that Mistapus and Freddie have gone walkabout. Well, a little more then walkabout, they have magically found their way to the Hollow all the way from England! I managed to get this photo of the two up in the dark woods, just as the sun was going down. It seems that Freddie has found a little deer mouse and befriended her. Mistapus tells Freddie, 'let me see what you have', and Freddie replies, 'oh, not to worry, it's just my little friend'. Mistapus thinks he's going to have to explain to Freddie about the mice and the birds, as Freddie is still a young kitten, and thinks all the world is his friend. He doesn't yet realize that one should not get too attached to one's dinner. Now, the exciting news!! Jane, aka JaneEden, who you all know to be a fantastic artist, is working very hard at assembling a package of tubes of her kittens and pups and hoping to get them on the market place! I have been the deliriously joyful recipient of some of her tubes!! I am ecstatic! They are simply gorgeous! They are so beautifully done, that it seems I should be able to reach in the monitor and stroke their fur!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dear Jane! I am simply beside myself with excitement! Murphy and the B-dog, however, want to know what are those furry little creatures, and why are they sleeping on the bed??? And they better move when it's bedtime, and they aren't going to eat OUR food, are they??? LOL! More good news, Jane will be putting a few of the kitten tubes up on free stuff later, if any of you are interested. Bathroom update: the shower is in, the walls are done but need finishing, the shower doors however, will take a month to get here! It seems most of the doors have to be ordered. Sigh. So work is progressing on the finishing details. Thankfully we will remain clean as there is another bathroom with a tub, LOL! I think we should have taken Jocko's advice and just installed a bucket, a garden hose, and a shower curtain. Fifteen minutes of work and voil� , a working shower. Thank you so much to all of you for stopping and leaving all the Birthday Wishes for Shawn. You guys always leave the best comments! Thank you for the faves as well.
