Thanksgiving..................one of the finest things you can have are neighbors.  The kind who comes into your home, looks on top of your ref. sees cookies and asked for one...lol  I thought it was the greatest compliment that she felt so comfortable in our home to ask for something like a cookie. 

Her reason for being in our house was....I had asked if her boys wanted to make some money by building a cat tree for the furry four-legged felines that frequent our patio.  A little family of a mother and three kittens had moved into the storage garage and the other residents had moved out!  I am not sure why they were not compatible.  But the evacuated felines were looking for a safe warm place to spend their nights.  Safe is the operative word....so the neighbor showed me the 30 gallon plastic barrels she had and she had some creative ideas...I gave her the carpet I had and about a month later she arrives with this great cat perch, tree, apartment house..lol...maybe just a cat house would suffice.  Anyway the barrel had two floors, one entry way carpeting inside and out, a large top about three by four feet.   She had to have more carpet so found some and the top is carpeted quite fashionably with white high-low carpet, the rest is multicolored beige and browns.  It looks quite nice on the patio because it matches the colors of the brick! 

I was not sure how the kitties would accept this addition but they love the large flat top where they can eat in peace and sit in the sun.  Several have checked out the apartment floors, but have not put down a deposit for renting.  Of course I don't stay up to see what happens when I go to bed!

We went to church, out to eat at Furr's Restaurant. then to Sam's Club, so all in all it was a busy but good day.  I am learning so much about caregiving.   It isn't something that comes naturally.

 

Peace at Marigold Country Home!
