Eastbound: Our 2006 Adventure

DAY 29: Of Cats and Cousins

Wednesday July 19th: Emma had a problem. There was this cat. Starving, she said. So Sally had a problem. So Hannah and I collected the cat and went to the vet, who was kind enough to see us. Not surprisingly, the cat, 7 months old, was pregnant. Though she was delightful, Miss Personality plus, she was on her way to being a teenage mother with a half-dozen wild offspring, the beginning of a feral colony. I should have taken a picture of her! (I have often wished since that I’d brought her home with me.)

That meant I got a late start for Baldwinsville, connecting with Cousins Nan and Bob just in time for, you guessed it, dinner! They took me to a nice restaurant, Italian and more, north of B’ville and we had a great time talking. AND I got to see their son David—it’s been decades!—and meet his girlfriend, Linda. Once again, no pictures! I’m slipping up!!

Here's a picture of David sleeping on the couch... yes, he's about 6 ft 6 in tall!

But I’d promised to be at the Lakehouse, so off I went, driving north into the night to find Tom and Daryl’s beautiful new place on a lake east of Pulaski. Wow… this is NOT your ordinary “cottage.”
