I'm in TROOUBLE!!!
Hi...this is Pooh. The mailman brought a package today that smells like catnip!! I tried to dig into the box and climb in the box to get it out! Mom's mad!

Hi everyone!  Just a quick note (cause I'm too tired to write a long one!) to let you know that the move went well & there were only two casualties:  a china serving bowl 8-(  and my bookcase.  It's one of those cheapie Office Depot kind...fiberboard.  I guess Josh lost his grip on it and put his knee through the back of it.  So it kind of looks like the lower portion has a seam or a crack.  But once I put books and "decor" on the shelves it'll be hidden, so it's nooooo biggie. 

My kitchen and bedroom are unpacked, for the most part, & boxes that I know I don't need to get into (Christmas, Josh's baby & childhood memorabilia) are all stored away.  There are still quite a few boxes that I need to look through.  Several of them are full of books, even though when I moved up here 2 years ago I parted with a LOT of books.  If I could I'd never part with any of my books, but ya' know, when space is at a premium....

We've already had a few "visitors":  When we first arrived a fat little squirrel came along & raced up a tree.  Then there's a healthy sized marmalade kitty who has come to the sliding door several times, probably wanting food.  I hear, though, that other neighbors feed the feral cats around here, and I'm not planning on feeding them unless somebody is lookin' skinny...there are 3 kitties that I know of, & two I saw today: the Marmie, who I'm calling "green eyes" for his marble green eyes (kind of light but very vibrant color), and a black guy (I assume) with a white diamond on his chest and one ear that's half torn off. :-(  I'm calling him "Van Gogh".  And then this evening a HUGE (to me anyway...bigger than the cats!) raccoon came up to the sliding door & he actually waved at me!  They're so FRIENDLY around here!  ;-)  Tipper saw the Marmie, but they just looked at each other through the glass, & Tipper hissed once.  Pooh was hiding out somewhere, so he hasn't seen any of the "wildlife" yet.  This should be interesting!  But don't worry.  I have no intention of letting my guys outside.  They're declawed & would not fare well in a fight, I fear.

The cupboards in the kitchen are hung maybe 14" or so from the ceiling.  Pooh & Tipper noticed this right away & Tipper's already jumped up from the counter to the top of the cupboard.  Honestly, I don't think Pooh will be able to 'cause he's so heavy (17 lbs).  But we'll see!

There's more to tell but I'll leave that for tomorrow.  Thanks to everyone for all your warm wishes.  They worked!!  G'nite my wonderful neighbors!  Don't forget to turn the clocks back at 2am Sunday!
